Understanding of the engineering chemistry in SAGD is important in both the initial design phase, as well on-going operations. Thimm Engineering can provide proven expertise to minimize down time in your operation.
The SAGD process has been shown to be prone to the formation of a variety of unusual scales in the production facilities. These include Talc, Tremolite, Huntite, Sepiolite and Kenyaite, in addition to the usual carbonate scales. Prevention is often closely related to carbon dioxide production and separation.
Thimm Engineering has developed optimal solutions that can provide the necessary balance between scaling and carbon dioxide corrosion can be found.
