British-French cooperation to develop a rapid analyzer for heavy oil stability
FORMULACTION from France has recently partnered with Octel from the United Kingdom to develop an advanced and rapid analyzer for assessing the stability of heavy oil, fully compliant with ASTM D7061-04. This innovative device can determine asphaltene stability in heavy oil within just 15 minutes, offering high accuracy, excellent repeatability, and fast results. The data obtained from the analyzer can be converted into quantitative measures of asphaltene precipitation potential, enabling precise calculation of the required additive quantities to enhance the stability of heavy oil.
It is well known that asphaltenes are complex heavy hydrocarbons present in crude oil. Their instability can lead to precipitation when different solvents are used, causing serious issues such as clogging of pipelines, filters, and fuel injectors. To prevent these problems, production sites, refineries, and end-users of heavy oil regularly test the stability of their products in order to optimize processes and increase operational efficiency.
In addition to stability testing, this rapid analyzer also supports emulsification operations during oil recovery, helping to assess the stability of water-in-oil emulsions. It can further evaluate the stability of drilling fluids and monitor dispersion systems, making it a versatile tool for the entire oil and gas industry. With its speed, precision, and wide range of applications, this new analyzer represents a significant advancement in heavy oil management and processing.
