Wax and Asphaltene PVT System

Function. Performs hydrocarbon phase-behavior studies at reservoir pressure and temperature on black oil, volatile oil and gas condensate; configurable for wax and asphaltene precipitation studies.

Controlled. Cell pressure and temperature; sample mixing.

Measured. Phase volumes, saturation/bubble-point pressure, and wax/asphaltene onset conditions.

Cell volume, pressure and temperature ratings, wetted materials, visual/measurement options and instrumentation are configured per project. Guaranteed performance and included hardware are stated only in the project-specific technical proposal and approved datasheet.
