Product catalog summary
Overview
The High Pressure Foam Analyzer (HPFA) is a specialized instrument designed for analyzing liquid foams under high pressure, particularly in applications such as foam-assisted gas flooding and hydraulic fracturing. It is unique in its ability to simultaneously measure foam amount and structure under conditions that simulate oil reservoir environments.

Tasks and Applications
  • Foam-assisted gas flooding
  • Foam as fracking and stimulation liquid

Measuring Methods and Options
  • Measurement of foamability and foam stability based on foam height and volume over time.
  • Analysis of foam structure, including bubble count, size, and statistical distribution over time.
  • Capability to perform measurements at pressures up to 350 bar and temperatures up to 120 °C.
  • Foaming with various gases such as air, N2, or CO2.
  • Option to add liquids during measurement.

Key Features
  • Simultaneous analysis of foam height and structure using high-resolution cameras.
  • Real-time image evaluation with ADVANCE software for determining foamability and decay.
  • Simulation of reservoir conditions with continuous pressure and temperature monitoring.
  • Use of filters with different pore sizes or drill cores to study lamella dimensions.

Specifications
  • Camera System: Height camera (5 fps at 1280 × 1024 px), Structure camera (2 fps at 1280 × 1024 px).
  • Pressure Measurement: Maximum pressure of 350 bar (5000 psi).
  • Temperature Control: Room temperature up to 120 °C.
  • Mini Dosing System: Manual dosing, maximum temperature of 180 °C.
  • Operating Environment: Temperature range from 10 to 40 °C.

Conclusion
The HPFA provides a comprehensive solution for foam analysis under high-pressure conditions, enhancing the understanding and optimization of foam behavior in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and hydraulic fracturing processes.

HIGH PRESSURE FOAM ANALYZER – HPFA-1

High Pressure Foam Analyzer Increase the yield with our solution for foam analysis under oil reservoir conditions The High Pressure Foam Analyzer – HPFA is the worldꞌs only measuring instrument for simultaneously analyzing the amount and structure of liquid foams under high pressure. The instrument provides various options for investigating foam behavior under the real process conditions of foam-assisted flooding methods in EOR as well as hydraulic fracturing. Measuring methods and options ■ Foam-assisted gas flooding ■ Foam as fracking and stimulation liquid ■ easurement of foamability and foam stability based on the M foam height and volume with respect to time ■ Analysis of foam structure and its variation with respect to time based on the number, size, and statistical size distribution of the foam bubbles ■ Measurements at pressures up to 350 bar and temperatures up to 120 °C ■ Foaming with a diverse range of gases such as air, N2, or CO2 ■ Option of adding liquids during

HIGH PRESSURE FOAM ANALYZER – HPFA-2

Simultaneous foam height and structure analysis During and after foaming-up by means of gas flow, two high-resolution cameras operating in parallel record the foam height and images of the foam lamellae. Supported by the real-time image evaluation of our ADVANCE software, the HPFA determines the foamability and the foam decay. Within one and the same measurement, it also captures the change in bubble count per area and the absolute bubble size as well as its statistical distribution.
