Solid Characterization

Post by sinakult »

Good Day,

I am doing a solid characterization of substances I found between the plates of a heat exchanger used to heat oil/water emulsions. I would like to know any suggested tests with their ASTM codes that you recommend I can do.

What I suspect is Asphaltenes, Sand and Iron Sulfide. This is from an initial XRD/XRF.

What I would like to do is:

1. Total Acid Number
2. Solubility in different solvents (Xylene/Toluene etc)
3. LPSA
4. XRD/XRF

Regards,
