MULTIPHASE FLOW LOOP
Cortest recently was granted permission to begin the design and construction of an inclinable, multiphase flow loop. This multiphase flow loop was designed to the clients requirements and specifications and was to be able to provide flow of water, oil, gas, and other substances through a 4 inch and/or a 1 inch loop, to allow the operators to observe, analyze, and study the flow properties under certain conditions. These conditions include but are not limited to, high temperature, high pressure, high/low flow rate, mixed phase, mixed liquid/gas, and more. Analysis capabilities include Laser Doppler, Particle Image Velocimetry, Particle Shadow Sizing, Tomography, Sheer Stress measurements, and others. Thanks to Cortest’s command hub, the operator can control and monitor all aspects of the loops activity and instrumentation from one room. This project is a true testament to the scope of projects and capabilities here at Cortest.
