Accurate measurement of water content in crude oil is a cornerstone of quality control for upstream production, custody transfer, and refining operations. The Centrifuge for Water Determination of Crude Oil from Changsha Friend Experimental Analysis Instrument Co., Ltd. offers a rapid, standardized solution compliant with ASTM D4007 and related protocols.
Excess water in crude can corrode pipelines, foul catalysts, and skew volumetric transactions. Rapid separation and quantification of microscopic water droplets enable producers and laboratories to make informed decisions about dehydration, blending, and process optimization.
This instrument uses high‑speed rotation to accelerate the density‑based separation of water and oil phases. Samples are pre‑heated to reduce viscosity, filled into calibrated centrifuge tubes, and spun at predefined speeds (often 2,000–3,000 rpm). After separation, the water layer is either measured volumetrically or weighed to calculate percentage content.
Digital speed and temperature control: Ensures reproducibility across tests.
Balance detection and auto‑shutdown: Protects the rotor and prolongs equipment life.
Accommodations for standard centrifuge tubes: Simplifies sample handling and compliance.
User‑friendly interface: Guides technicians through test setup, run monitoring, and data export.
Field Exploration Labs: Provides rapid turnaround on well-site water analysis.
Refinery Intake: Verifies feedstock quality before processing.
Custody Transfer Stations: Ensures accurate volumetric accounting for commercial transactions.
Routine rotor inspections, seal replacements, and calibration with certified test kits maintain measurement accuracy. Proper cleaning after each run prevents cross‑contamination and extends instrument lifespan.
