Solid Deposition Flow Loop

Function. Studies asphaltene and wax deposition under dynamic conditions that reproduce production and transportation flow.

Controlled. Flow rate, pressure and temperature.

Measured. Deposition rate and thickness versus flow conditions.

Pressure and temperature ratings, wetted materials, cell/loop geometry and instrumentation are configured per project. Guaranteed performance and included hardware are stated only in the project-specific technical proposal and approved datasheet.
