For more than 10 years, Typhonix has developed and tested low shear process equipment. Throughout this period, we have developed a solid understanding of the effects shear can have on oil production.

At the Low Shear Day Webinar, we discussed our experiences and understandings, highlighting the following subjects:

• What are the effects of shear in oil production?
• Where can you find sources of shear?
• What can you do to minimize shear forces or mitigate the effects of shear on downstream separation equipment?
• How can your process layout and equipment be optimized to reduce potential separation issues? 

The webinar consisted of two presentations and a Q&A session, covering the most frequently asked questions. The presentations were called:

• Low shear oil production: Droplet breakup in valves and pumps
• Next generation process control equipment: Coalescing valves and pumps 

We are all looking forward to seeing you next year’s Low Shear Day!
