Slop Oil

-
One of the ever-present waste streams in the oil and gas industry which creates problems for most companies is Slop Oil. “Slop Oil”, by definition, is considered crude oil which is emulsified with water and solids rendering it a waste stream that cannot be sold down the pipeline. Slop Oil, or secondary oil, is found in evaporation ponds, sludge pits, storage tanks, and permitted commercial disposal facilities. Slop Oil is not environmentally friendly! Current options for disposal are expensive and hard to find. This leads to Slop Oils being stored in pits or tanks, wherever possible, until a better solution presents itself. Our technology is timely, given the environmentally sensitive market as well as the cost implications of the disposal of residual oil production and hydrocarbon waste.

Advanced research and technology is the answer. After four years of intense research and development, we are now efficiently able to process Slop Oil to pipeline specifications. This is achieved by knocking out the solids and separating the oil from the wastewater. Our process is a safe, environmentally sustainable, and eco-friendly process. The wastewater resulting from processing meets or exceeds the criteria for final discharge into any industrial water treatment system. Alternatively, it has the option of discharge into a disposal/injection well or evaporation pond. The solids can be recycled, being used for various applications. These include asphalt, road building, or reclamation by way of land farming.

Online, inline, atline and bypass (analysers)

Inline : For inline analysis, a sensor can be placed in a process vessel or stream of flowing material to conduct the analysis. Online : Analysers which are connected to a process, and conduct automatic sampling, can be called online (or on-line) analysers or sometimes inline (or in-line) analysers. This means that online and inline analyses permit continuous process control. Offline and atline analyses, on the other hand, are characterized by manual sampling followed by discontinuous sample preparation, measurement and evaluation. The material properties can change during the time between sampling and the availability of the results, so direct process control is not possible. A bypass line is recommended in terms of process control to prevent a shutdown or lost product. If you have to clean, calibrate or validate ypour analyser a lot, then a bypass is the best solution.

Thermal conductivity detector (TCD)

-
Image
The thermal conductivity detector (TCD), also known as a Katharometer, is a bulk property detector and a chemical specific detector commonly used in gas chromatography.[1] This detector senses changes in the thermal conductivity of the column effluent and compares it to a reference flow of carrier gas. Since most compounds have a thermal conductivity much less than that of the common carrier gases of helium or hydrogen, when an analyte elutes from the column the effluent thermal conductivity is reduced, and a detectable signal is produced. The TCD consists of an electrically heated filament in a temperature-controlled cell. Under normal conditions there is a stable heat flow from the filament to the detector body. When an analyte elutes and the thermal conductivity of the column effluent is reduced, the filament heats up and changes resistance. This resistance change is often sensed by a  Wheatstone bridge  circuit which produces a measurable voltage change. The column ...

Pour point

The pour point of a liquid is the temperature at which it becomes semi solid and loses its flow characteristics. In crude oil a high pour point is generally associated with a high paraffin content, typically found in crude deriving from a larger proportion of plant material. That type of crude oil is mainly derived from a kerogen Type III. credit wiki
