Reservoir fluid particle analyser (RFP)

The RFP analyser allows for   a variety of asphaltenes  and wax solid deposition experiments including  isothermal depressurization and isobaric temperature decrease experiments, titration experiments,  bulk filtration tests, particle size distributions and solids onset determinations.  It can visualise accurately the Wax and Asphaltenes precipitation at onset conditions,  identify the solid particles and monitor the change in size and morphology of Wax crystals and Asphaltenes solids as function of temperature, pressure, time and effect of various chemical treatments. It can also detect when the organic deposition takes place using a solid detection system with laser source. Optionally an organic solid filtration system can be added to determine the amount of solids formed in the fluid sample when altering the pressure, temperature or composition of the fluid.
