Oil separation
FORVEN DM 430 is a demulsifier in development. The evaluation would focus on the oil-phase requirement and emulsion behaviour.
Oilfield & Process Operations
Oil & produced-water separation
Define which phase needs improvement, then agree the separation endpoint.
Discuss this application
Illustrative application context01 / THE CHALLENGE
Understand the duty before the treatment.
Emulsion behaviour and dispersed oil vary with fluid composition, shear and residence time. Oil dehydration and produced-water deoiling should not share an assumed success criterion.
Conditions that shape the decision
- Representative oil/water samples and fluid history
- Mixing, temperature and available residence time
- Existing equipment, current chemistry and phase-quality targets
02 / THE APPROACH
Define the mechanism. Scope the evaluation.
Design representative screening around the required phase quality. Consider interfaces, separated phase volumes and downstream constraints rather than visual clarity alone.

Produced-water separation
FORVEN DW 450 is a produced water deoiler in development. A water-phase assessment needs a defined analytical endpoint; appearance is not proof of compliance.
03 / VALUE TO EVALUATE
Agree what progress should mean.
These are evaluation objectives. They are not claims of achieved product performance.
- 01
Oil-phase water content and interface behaviour
- 02
Residual dispersed oil using an agreed analytical method
- 03
Separation time, residuals and treatment demand
