Reservoir fluid particle analyser System and Trainers

The Reservoir fluid particle analyser System and Trainers analyzer permits a variety of asphaltene and wax deposition experiments including isothermal depressurization and isobaric temperature decrease experiments, titration experiments, bulk filtration tests, particle size distributions and solids onset determination. The apparatus accurately visualizes wax and asphaltene precipitation onset at pressures and temperatures up to 20,000 psi and 200°C, respectively. The system enables the identification of solid particles and continuous monitoring of particle size and morphology as a function of temperature, pressure, time and various chemicals. Solid detection is achieved by virtue of a solid detection system with a laser source. An organic solid filtration system is used to determine the amount of solid deposits as a function of pressure, temperature or fluid composition.
