Oil and gas
Particle analysis for oil and gas
Track particles and emulsions without interrupting the process.
The challenge
Complex fluids change with solids, shear, and composition.
Complex fluids change with solids, shear, and composition. Inline observation preserves the actual dispersion state.
Droplet size and stability
Separation and phase evolution
Formulation, additives, and mixing
Visual results
Observe the dispersion inside the fluid.
From objects to data
Continuous information that reveals change.
Size and distribution
Count and population
Shape and morphology
Real-time trends
Technology and application
SOPAT: image analysis in process dispersions.
Selection considers continuous phase, contrast, concentration, viscosity, pressure, temperature, and fouling.
Technical note: Class differentiation and correlation with reference methods require application-specific validation.
Technical questions
Frequently asked questions about this application.
Must the fluid be diluted?
Not for inline measurement; the configuration observes the actual medium.
Can droplets and solids be differentiated?
This may be possible using optical and morphological features after validation.
Can it handle pressure and temperature?
Industrial configurations are available; limits are defined during selection.
