Medium Wax Flow Loop (Live Oil)

Function. Circulates live oil in a loop to study wax deposition in tubes and pipelines and its effect on effective flow area and pressure drop.

Controlled. Flow rate, temperature and pressure.

Measured. Deposition thickness and pressure-drop increase.

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.
