Heavy Crude Oil applications
We also specialise in heavy oil applications, having been involved with seven of the main North Sea heavy oil applications - details on application
Crude Oil Dispersion Characterisation
We also specialise in
- characterisation of crude oil dispersions/emulsions
-
assessment of laboratory data for use in separation predictions
-
assessment of chemicals for use in separation, such as demulsifiers and deoilers.
With our suite of proprietary design and analysis software, developed
over many years and proven in service in many installations in the
North Sea and elsewhere, if you are looking for an independent view on
your separation problem, please contact us.
