Expertise to guide our customers through complex problems to proven solutions.
Oil Conditioning Monitoring
Viscosity analysis helps avoid equipment failure by detecting oil degradation in vapor recovery and refrigeration compressor applications.
Features
- Identifies early warning signs of oil degradation
- Detects, measures, and monitors changes in viscosity, so operators can take corrective action at the first sign of oil degradation
- Conducts both off-line (in a lab) and in-line (on equipment) oil analysis at consistent intervals and in real-time to identify trends that precede equipment issues or failures
- Optimizes equipment performance and reduces lifecycle costs through oil condition monitoring
- Needs no operator intervention
Coatings Control
Proper management of film weight, thickness and image characteristics are key to consistently delivering the desired end product quality, maintain smooth-running equipment, and optimize material use.
Features
- Ensures product quality, clarity and resolution of desired images, and proper and uniform film thickness
- Optimizes throughput processing rates
- Eliminates the need for costly destructive testing procedures
- Gives operators the ability to maintain control over the coating solids
- Offers traceability of the product throughout the process
Reservoir Analysis
Measurement of viscosity at reservoir conditions is key to the assessment of the technical and economic potential of oilfield development.
