The MicroPVT has been developed to determine the physical, rheological and thermodynamic properties of fluids by measuring the change in volume of a sample under applied pressure.
Detecting particles, opacity and tarnish in fluids is a common task in a wide variety of industries and fields of research.
Production engineers are responsible for the design, operation and efficiency of water handling systems in which thermal, pressure or chemical changes lead to scale deposition.
Corrosion engineers in the oil and gas producing industry are often charged with the responsibility of evaluating and controlling the quality of injection waters. Furthermore, production engineers are confronted with formation clogging by solids in produced water.
The Pour Point is a crucial parameter regarding flow assurance. The Pour Point tester by F5 Technologie operates according to an old, but still very widespread standard: the ASTM D97. Our PPT is available as an extension to our Multi-Place Cold Finger or as a complete stand-alone device.
Flow Assurance, Paraffin Deposition and Inhibitor Testing
In analysing waxy crude oil and also in testing, developing and selecting wax inhibiting chemicals, it is of importance to perform tests in a fast and efficient way and under reproducible conditions.
Deposition of complex and heavy organic compounds in crude and heavy oil can cause a number of severe problems up to pipeline blocking. This instrument provides the ability to develop and test inhibiting chemicals under reproducible conditions.
Flow Assurance and Inhibitor Testing
The wax appearance temperature (WAT) is a crucial parameter regarding flow assurance. The WAT tester by F5 Technologie is available as an extension to our Multi-Place Cold Finger or as a complete stand-alone device.
To prevent deposition of complex and heavy organic compounds in reservoirs, well heads and pipelines, it is necessary to be able to predict the onset and amount of deposition due to various factors, e.g. flow (shear) rate, temperature and pressure.
