And we have a Christmas Special!
James and I had a talk with Professor Johan Sjöblom. Johan recently crowned his 45-year academic career and decided to step out of this world. His publications are known around the world and frequently referred to in the oil and gas industry.
What about emulsions affecting separation? This was one of the main topics we discussed. Also the industry has lacked the “eyes” inside separators in real-time to understand how well they work, how the performance gets affected by various conditions. This is something that we are now enabling with ROCSOLE and in that sense also disrupting the industry.
Industry has been stuck with “Flintstone” technology, now we have to pace for the future with digitalization, data mining and improved process monitoring. This might even lead to new approaches in how to design separation facilities!
With the new technology and the unique data renderred, operations can be tuned and optimized in new ways, emulsions can be analyzed and separation efficiency should be improved vastly. A new world is opening.
Thank you for the great chat!
