Our expert services are designed to help petroleum companies optimize their operations and prevent costly issues related to wax deposition.
Comprehensive Wax Inhibitors Testing Services
At Benchmark Lab, our approach to testing wax inhibitors is designed to provide thorough and precise results that ensure the effectiveness of these chemicals under various operational conditions. Our Houston-based facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to assess and optimize the performance of wax inhibitors.Cold Finger Method for Wax Inhibitors
The Cold Finger method is a critical part of our wax inhibitors testing services. This technique allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of wax inhibitors in controlling wax deposition at specific temperatures. By simulating the cooling process that occurs in pipelines, the Cold Finger method provides essential data on how wax crystallizes in the presence of inhibitors, making it invaluable for developing effective wax management strategies.Flow Loop Testing in Houston
Our Flow Loop system is another cornerstone of our wax inhibitors testing. This dynamic testing apparatus simulates real pipeline conditions, including shear and flow, providing a more representative assessment of wax inhibitor performance. Located in Houston, our Flow Loop setup helps us analyze how inhibitors perform under conditions that closely mimic those in actual pipelines, offering clients insights that static tests simply cannot.HTGC for Wax Composition Analysis
High-Temperature Gas Chromatography (HTGC) is utilized at Benchmark Lab to determine the composition of waxes in petroleum products. Understanding the specific makeup of wax in these products is crucial for selecting and evaluating the right wax inhibitors. Our HTGC testing provides detailed insights into the carbon number distribution and overall molecular structure of waxes, aiding in the formulation of more effective inhibitors.DSC for Determining Wax Appearance Temperature (WAT)
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is used to accurately measure the Wax Appearance Temperature (WAT) of petroleum products. This testing is essential for understanding at what temperature wax starts to precipitate, which directly impacts the choice and deployment of wax inhibitors. DSC provides precise measurements that are critical for wax management and inhibitor effectiveness evaluations.Why Choose Benchmark Lab for Wax Inhibitors Testing?
