OVERVIEW:
The RPS-Series of instruments enable reservoir condition two-phase flow relative permeability tests. The systems can be configured from manually operated with data acquisition to automated test sequences. They are available for steady state and/or unsteady state flow. Multiple high-pressure fluid accumulators enable multiple fluid flow in a single test sequence. A system can be configured for liquid/liquid or liquid/gas relative permeability measurements. Most systems are constructed using Hastelloy C-276 in all pore fluid wetted components.
FEATURES:
• Can be configured for Liquid/Liquid or Gas/Liquid relative permeability measurements as an Unsteady-state or Steady-state procedure
• Pulse-free Quizix pumps for flow of liquids in the system
• 5-cylinder Quizix pump liquid recirculation system in the steady-state relative permeability system
• Complete computerized control and data acquisition or manual control options
• X-ray linear scanner available for the steady state system for the determination of average in-situ saturations (see our XRSC-198 X-ray Linear Scanner)
