Part No: PMACEMULSIONFOAM |
| |
The PMAC HP
emulsion/foam unit closely reproduces actual field conditions using a high
pressure, jacketed glass column which can hold crude at up to 500 psi. The
volume of foam produced by the staged release of gas and rate of foam collapse
can then be accurately measured.
Generated data is of particular
benefit in the design and sizing of separators and heaters given that foam
generation and collapse velocity can be determined in advance of production and
process optimisation through antifoam addition considered.
The Dynamic
Emulsion Test extends the capability to measure emulsion behaviour under
process conditions by considering the influence of dissolved gas. Gas content
reduces viscosity and may solubilise emulsion stabilising solids which can
significantly reduce the crude emulsifying tendency. The use of a live fluid
can therefore have a major impact on critical separator design considerations.
Emulsions are prepared in ancillary shearing cells, transferred to the test rig
and dehydration observed at up to 150 psi to determine emulsion stability in
the presence of dissolved gas or at temperatures above handling capabilities
for dead oil at atmospheric pressure.
The unit consists of a water
jacketed, high pressure glass cell which is rotatable and can be rocked to
simulate separation under dynamic conditions. |
