Tracerco Diagnostics™ Flow Study

What does a Tracerco flowrate study do? Tracerco Diagnostics™ Flow studies measure flowrates through flare lines or piping systems, monitor process changes over start-up/shutdown cycles, and determine leakages past relief or block valves. Our flow study technology offers a rapid, accurate, and cost-effective method of determining flows of gas, water, and organicbased materials. What type of tracer materials are used to perform thetesting? Tracerco’s team of experts will ...

Tracerco Diagnostics™ Separator study

What does a Tracerco Diagnostics™ Separator study reveal? Tru-Scan™ and PhaseFinder™ studies of a separator will reveal the liquid level, the presence and height of any foam, the oil and water interface position and extent of emulsion band, as well as the presence and extent of sand deposits within the vessel. These technologies will also detect internal hardware issues, such as inlet device damage. The scans are carried out whilst the vessel is operating, so real-time information ...

Tracerco PhaseFinder™

What type of services does Tracerco provide for desalters and what does it reveal? A Tracerco PhaseFinder™ scan of a desalter measures interface levels through the vessel wall between liquid and solids, or between two different types of liquids. A PhaseFinder™ scan of desalter vessels will yield a lot of information about where the various layers of material are located, and the quality of interface between oil and water. A tracer study can be used to measure the oil and ...

Tru-Grid™ Scan

What does a Tru-Grid™ Scan do? A Tru-Grid™ Scan of a packed distillation tower provides a density profile of the process inside the tower. The power of the technology is that the scan is done whilst the tower is operating so real-time information about how the tower is performing at that instant is obtained. The scan ‘sees through’ the vessel wall allowing determination of what is happening inside without the need to shut down. The scan produces a density profile of the ...

Valve solutions for sulphur applications

How to select a valve for sulphur applications? We asked our expert Vincent Wang to answer this frequently raising question. What are the key points to address when selecting a valve for sulphur applications? When we talk about sulphur valves, in most cases they are used in the sulphur recovery unit. Various processes in refineries and gas plants produce gases that contain hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and the amount of sulphur is legislated to meet HSE and gas piping specifications, ...

Vapor pressure testing for petroleum, LPG, crude oil and Chemicals

Vapor pressure is an important physical property of volatile liquids especially of spark-ignition engine fuels. It provides an indication of how a fuel will perform under different operating conditions. For example, vapor pressure is a factor in determining, whether a fuel will cause vapor locks at high ambient temperature or at high altitude, or will provide easy starting at low ambient temperatures. Petroleum product specifications are regulated by various governmental agencies. ...

ViscoLab PVT+

High-pressure viscosity analysis. For oil, gas, polymers, and supercritical fluids, ViscoLab PVT+ delivers the highest levels of accuracy, speed, and reliability. In high-pressure processes, correctly analysing precious samples is as challenging as it is critical. With millions of dollars on the line, “close enough” is never good enough, and “soon enough” is never fast enough. Since viscosity is an important factor in the quality and marketability of the fluid, measurements ...
