Pre-project testing technology for TPS projects
The M‐I SWACO TPS‐PS unit allows accurate pre‐project testing of Thermal Phase Separation (TPS) technology on a pilot scale. Unlike most pilot‐scale systems, however, TPS‐PS units are not designed to prove the commercial viability of a theoretical process. Instead, these units are used to provide a smaller, more economical representation of performance for a full‐scale TPS unit. TPS‐PS units are precision‐engineered to proportionately and accurately project the capability of TPS technology under field conditions.
Features
-
Incorporates the same components as full‐scale TPS units: desorption chamber, gas/liquid treatment unit and control unit
-
Compact, 4 x 7‐ft (1.2 m x 2.1 m) frame
-
Adheres to a fixed QA/QC protocol
-
Promotes objectivity and accuracy through treatability studies:
-
Test materials are generated from operator project
-
Remediation criteria are proposed by operator
-
Operators are welcome to audit tests
-
Standardized methods and accepted analytical analyses are conducted by certified independent laboratories
-
Used to assist in operator decision‐making and to confirm competitive pricing
Benefits
-
Provides accurate, reproducible projections of full‐scale TPS unit results
-
Reduces treatability study costs by performing the study on a small scale
-
Can be performed at an M‐I SWACO facility or the unit can be mobilized to any site in the world within hours
-
Ensures confidence in treatability studies through strict quality assurance procedures
