Development of multiphase sampler: Videreutvikling av prøvetaker

Abstract

Typhonix is a small independent company based on the west coast of Norway working to optimize oil production processes offshore. As part of optimization Typhonix has developed a sampler, the Typhoon Multi Phase Sampler. It is essential that the samples are representative. The technology differs from conventional samplers by enabling the extraction of samples to do measurements such as oil / water and water / oil concentrations and droplet sizes that are representative to the process. Based on the Tyhoon multiphase sampler technology I have in my master thesis further developed the Typhoon MultiPhase sampler with regards to product identity, future sample and analysing strategies, functionality and user aspects. A representative sample is dependent on the right execution of the procedure. The new sampler is therefore developed with a new internal layout and an improved procedure.Being a small company it is important to be noticed. The sampler has therefore been developed with not only an external layout that complements the internal layout but also that represents the companies identity.
