5 What is PVM? Particle Vision and Measurement Inline imaging of Particles and Droplets: - Real time visualization at full process concentration without sampling or dilution Probe-based microscopy - Characterization and understanding of how particles and droplets directly affect product quality and processing efficiency Easy installation and dependable results - PVM probes are designed for process environments PVM allows us to see and understand particles and particle structures as they naturally exist in process ISO 9001 CE
6 PVM provides immediate process understanding Particle Vision and Measurement (PVM ) View particles as they exist in process and capture valuable information that was not previously available Benefit from the unique perspective of PVM for a better understanding of your particle or droplet system Understanding that goes beyond measurement See and understand changes in particle and droplet systems in real time. e.g.: oiling out of an API before crystallization ti PVM allows you to see particles and droplets as they naturally exist at full process concentration
7 Seeing is believing High resolution imaging under extreme conditions Even in opaque and highly viscous fluids Shown: Water droplets in crude oil Expect the unexpected Challenges your assumptions about the process Shown: Polymorph detection Measure even when offline sampling is impossible ibl Sampling can change the particle system and can miss fast process dynamics Shown: Dendritic crystals View particles as they exist in process to capture valuable information that was not previously available
8 Introduction to FBRM Focused Beam Reflectance Measurement (FBRM ) FBRM is a probe based measurement that tracks the rate and degree of change to particles and particle structures as the particles naturally exist in process Measure particles in process without the need for sampling and off-line analysis Real-time measurement of particle count, dimension and shape from submicron to 3mm FBRM is the standard method for tracking changes in particles and droplets in process and in real time
9 FBRM measures particles without sampling Focused Beam Reflectance Measurement Precise and sensitive measurements at full process concentrations, in opaque or translucent slurries, and in lab or plant environments 175um 300um Track real-time changes with precision and sensitivity The FBRM Chord Length Distribution provides a fingerprint of the particles and droplets as they naturally exist in process Chord Length (µm) Increase in Fines Increase in Filtration Rate Relate directly to product quality and process efficiency The sensitive FBRM measurement can often be directly correlated to the product quality or process efficiency parameters of interest. t FBRM provides a precise and sensitive measurement of changes in particle count, dimension and shape

16 Equipment Used Experiments were carried out using an FBRM G400 14mm probe. - Installed in 1 sampling loop - Mounted at 45 into flow direction. Fluid velocity in sampling loop can be varied. - Most measurements isokinetic - Some sub-kinetic and super-kinetic measurements made Position of sampling loop take-off in main flow line can be varied - Three positions used: top, middle and bottom.

The FBRM instrument provides a very rapid real-time and continuous output showing how droplet size and droplet population is changing as a function of process variables. Each small orange triangle on the y-axis indicates a manual annotation, showing when changes were made to the flow rate, water cut and sampling position. FBRM is thus an ideal tool for following a dynamic process in real time and quantifying rapidly and precisely, the rate of change and degree of change to droplet population and droplet size. As such, deviations form normal process conditions can be identified and quantified easily and quickly. Mettler Toledo Confidential
22 Conclusions FBRM G400 has successfully tracked changes to droplet size and droplet number of crude oil-water mixtures. Sensitive and precise data was obtained in real-time, with measurements being made continually for many hours each day. FBRM was able to quantify the degree of inhomogeneity in the main flow line as a function of water cut and flow rate: - Increasing water cut increases the degree of inhomogeneity; - Decreasing flow velocity increases the degree of inhomogeneity; - A homogeneous system was only achievable at water cuts of 5% or lower; - Increasing water cut and/or decreasing flow rate results in larger droplets being present. FBRM was also able to measure and quantify long-term changes to the base oil and was able to track separator efficiency as a function of flow rate. FBRM is thus an excellent tool for understanding, optimising, quantifying and controlling the size and number of water droplets in flowing crude oil streams. Mettler Toledo Confidential

24 Optimizing Oil-Water Separation FBRM is applied to measure droplet distributions downstream of a compact 4 Inline ElectroCoalescer (FMC Technologies). No sampling or dilution is required for droplet measurements. The InLine ElectroCoalescer (IEC) enhances the separation of the multiphase flow, by increasing the water droplet size. IEC causes frequent collisions between water droplets and an electrical field, which destabilizes the film between droplets which have collided, thereby increasing the probability for coalescence.

25 Optimizing Oil-Water Separation Optimizing Oil-Water Separation Using the Inline ElectroCoalescer 4 Remko Westra, FMC Technologies, Separation Systems, Delta MN Arnhem, The Netherlands separation@fmcti.com FBRM is inserted into the pipe spool just downstream of the IEC, and the real time droplet distribution measurements are used to optimize the performance of the oil-water separation. 24 (offshore installation North Sea, MI SWACO)
26 Optimizing Oil-Water Separation Optimizing Oil-Water Separation Using the Inline ElectroCoalescer 4 Remko Westra, FMC Technologies, Separation Systems, Delta MN Arnhem, The Netherlands separation@fmcti.com As the emulsion droplet size distribution increases, downstream separators perform better. Real-time droplet count and dimension measurements provide quantitative feedback tracking the effect of changes in the incoming i Bimodal water cut, flow rate, and pressure drop and help identify the optimal electrical field strength to improve downstream water-oil separations 25
27 Water Cut Dependence Optimizing Oil-Water Separation Using the Inline ElectroCoalescer 4 Remko Westra, FMC Technologies, Separation Systems, Delta MN Arnhem, The Netherlands separation@fmcti.com FBRM data indicates that the droplet growth factor of the IEC increases with increasing water cut due to the increased coalescence probability at higher water cuts. 26
28 Flow Rate Dependence Optimizing Oil-Water Separation Using the Inline ElectroCoalescer 4 Remko Westra, FMC Technologies, Separation Systems, Delta MN Arnhem, The Netherlands separation@fmcti.com FBRM data indicates that the droplet growth factor of the IEC decreases with increased flow rate (which corresponds to a reduced IEC residence time). 27
29 Electric Field Strength Dependence Optimizing Oil-Water Separation Using the Inline ElectroCoalescer 4 Remko Westra, FMC Technologies, Separation Systems, Delta MN Arnhem, The Netherlands separation@fmcti.com FBRM data indicates that the droplet growth factor of the IEC increases with increasing electric field strength. This is caused by the increased force acting on the water droplets. 28
