Fouling and Coking Technology - Fouling Deposit Characterizations

Characterization of Fouling Deposits Characterization scientifically the plant deposits after months of operation can provide you with clear information about the actual cause(s) of the problem(s) in the plant. Our key deposit characterization includes:

ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS	CHEMICAL COMPOSITION (C, H, O, N, S)
ELECTRON MICROSCOPY	MORPHOLOTY/ MICROSTRUCTURE
COMPOSITION ANALYSIS	COMPONENTS (asphaltene, oil, coke, and inorganics)
TGA (Thermogravimetric Analyzer)	THERMAL FRACTIONATION INTO COMPONENTS
EDS (x-ray) (Electron Dispersive Spectroscopy)	INORGANIC ELEMENTS
X-RAY DIFFRACTION	INORGANIC COMPOUNDS
