Level :Skilled
Prerequisite :
In order to be able to follow this training, trainees are asked to fulfill at least one of the criteria below:
either proven experience in an analysis laboratory of at least 1 year,
or to be in evolution towards a position related to product analysis.
Course Content
ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES OF LABORATORY STAFF
Member of production staff. Equipment yields controls/monitoring.
Final product quality controls/monitoring. Recommendations to improve treatments.
ANALYZES SPECIFIC TO CRUDE OIL
Specific gravity or density.
Vapor Pressure (Reid VP).
Water content: Basic Sediment & Water (BSW), dean stark distillation.
Salt content: chlorides content, conductimetry.
Acid components content:
H2S content (methylene blue).
H2S and mercaptans by potentiometry.
Total Acid Number (TAN) of liquid hydrocarbons.
Fluid rheology: pour point, kinematic viscosity, wax content.
ANALYZES SPECIFIC TO GAS
Gas characterization analyzes:
Dew point (HC and water).
Gas composition by Gas Phase Chromatography (GPC).
Gas specific gravity estimate from composition.
Acid components content:
H2S content (Dräger), H2S and mercaptans content (potentiometry, iodometry).
CO2 content (Dräger and acidimetry).
ANALYZES FOR THE FOLLOW-UP OF EFFLUENT TREATMENT OPERATIONS
Demulsifiers evaluation and selection (bottle tests, field tests).
Quality controls/monitoring of poor and rich Triethyleneglycol (TEG):
Water content, pH.
Hydrocarbon content.
Follow-up of equipment performances: water content, residual emulsion.
ANALYZES DONE TO OPTIMIZE ANTICORROSION TREATMENTS
Deposits and scale analyzes.
Chemical corrosion and bacterial corrosion appraisal.
Recommendations for chemical additives and treatments.
HSE IN LABORATORY ACTIVITIES
Laboratory facilities design and implementation.
Chemicals management (storage, use…).
Occupational health and safety behavior.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
grasp the physical and chemical concepts involved in various analyzes,
comprehend issues requiring special attention in various analyzes,
assess the results of an analysis and decide whether to carry out the analysis over again,
review main Occupational Health and Safety rules within the framework of laboratory activities.
Ways & Means
Several applications and illustrations.
