Raw Crude Oil is collected in large storage tanks after extraction from production sites. Raw Crude contains multiple impurities such as tar, sand, water and coke. If kept idle the impurities tend to settle and water accumulates in some pockets at the bottom of the tank. This mixture is referred to as Bottom Sludge & Water (BS&W). (Read more)

Analyzing Gas & Liquid samples is a routine requirement of process industry. Gas Samples are frequently drawn to analyze and determine composition of gases

Obtaining samples for pipelines / chambers operating under pressure is easy as the internal pressure forces the gas into the sampling system.

But for systems operating at or near atmospheric pressure or under vacuum, the gas sample needs to be pulled out / extracted from the system.

Requirements from the Sampling system…. (Read more)

Analyzing Gas & Liquid samples is a routine requirement of process industry. Liquid samples are frequently drawn to study the process progress or to study quality of batch in reactor.

Liquid sample need to be pulled out / extracted from reactor / chamber that are operating at or near atmospheric pressure or under vacuum. Liquid samples with high viscosity also requires extraction even if the system is under pressure.

Large Storage tanks are used in Oil & Gas Production facilities to store the extracted Crude Oil while Petroleum refineries use them to store finished petroleum products (Diesel, heavy oils, etc) When Crude Oil or Petroleum products lie idle in the storage tank, it leads to formation of oil sludge inside the tank. The Oil sludge deposits at the bottom of the tank.

This oil sludge deposition is problematic as increases corrosion risk and also reduces the storage capacity. (Read more)

Coastal Dredging and Oil Production from oil Sands are diverse applications but they have one thing in common – transporting sand slurry through pipelines. In Coastal Dredging excavated sand slurry is transported to alternate disposal sites and in Oil production, Oil sands are transported to production plant.

In both applications the quantity of sand to be transported is considerable and hence sand is transported in form of slurry through pipelines. (Read more)
