  • Manual Core Saturation

    The manual saturator enables the end-user to obtain remarkable saturation of clean, dry core samples. The system is then evacuated by applying a high vacuum for a few hours. Finally, a manual pump is used to pressurize the system up to 300 bars. This pressure should be sustained for at least four hours to guarantee maximum core saturation. This is confirmed by a stable reading on the manometer.

  • CO2-Solvent Core Cleaning

    The core cleaner is utilized to remove liquid phases (e.g. crude oil, drilling fluids, water…) from core plug samples. The principle consists of filling the gas-filled space in the core with solvent (e.g. toluene) by surrounding the core with a suitable solvent containing dissolved CO2 gas and applying sufficient hydraulic pressure. A number of repeated cycles are required to clean the core of hydrocarbons.

  • Soxhlet Extractor

    The Soxhlet extractor is originally designed for the extraction of a lipid from a solid material and has three main sections: a percolator (boiler and reflux) which circulates the solvent, a thimble (usually made of thick filter paper) which retains the solid to be laved, and a siphon mechanism, which periodically empties the thimble. Regarding this functionality, the Soxhlet distillation extraction method is used to dissolved and extract oil and brine from rock samples by using a solvent.

  • Core Cutting Machine

    After drilling cylindrical core samples, it is necessary to cut the preset length of the core using high-speed blades. The machine has a standard high-performance rock saw with a diamond blade and cooling system (water or oil). The saw comes with a safety splash guard, coolant recovery pan, and electrical motor for soft cutting of core plugs.

  • Core Plugging Machine

    The heavy-built diamond tooled drill press is specially designed to drill different specific core sizes of 1 inch to 1.5 inches in diameter with a maximum height of 3.5 inches upon request. This equipment is comprised of a floor standing drill press, a rotary union, a water cooling circulation system (oil and other coolants are available upon request), and a coolant recovery pan. The union connects the coring bit to the drill press and feed coolant to the coring bit.
