FILTER PRESS
The HPHT Filter Press consists:
stainless steel cell with filtering area of 3.5 in2 (22.58
cm 2 )
aluminum heating jacket
filter medium
graduated cylinder to collect filtrate
pressurization equipment.
standard filter press- operates at pressures and
temperatures that do not reflect the actual filter loss
occurring in a wellbore with much higher pressure and
temperature.
High-pressure high temperature (HPHT) filter press
was designed for testing muds at elevated pressures
and temperatures. The HPHT filter press operates on
pressure of 1000 psi and a maximum temperature of
450 F.
DESCRIPTION
Effects of Temperature & Pressure on Filtration rate:
Temperature has a substantial effect on fluid loss, as
the temperature increases the viscosity is reduced,
which in turn will increase the filtrate volume.
Pressure has minimal effect over filtration rate. As
pressure increases the permeability of the mud cake
tends to decrease.
DESCRIPTION
At elevated temperatures (Above 212 o F) a back pressure
must be held on the filtrate discharge to avoid flashing or
evaporation of the filtrate. The HTHP filter press operates
under static conditions similar to the standard filter press,
although with a smaller area. The HTHP filter press area
is 22.9 cm2 vs. 45.8 cm2 for the standard filter press.
Thus, the volume of filtrate collected in 30 minutes must
be doubled before reporting as API water loss .
DESCRIPTION
HPHT filter presses are available in various
arrangements. Two sizes are available - 175 ml and 500
ml.
175 ml cell units can be operated up to 350F (177C)
500 ml cell units can be operated up to 500F (260C).
