Summary

The SV10 is bringing a major improvement in handling, accuracy and test duration. Straightforward and user friendly, the SV10 does not need any operator action during the test or application expert: it comes with all programs ready for the different sample types described in ASTM D7157.

Beyond the ASTM D7157 standard report of S-value, So , and Sa, the SV10 calculates additional values as IN (Insolubility Number) and SBN (Solubility Blending Number), as well as the estimation of stability reserve and blending potential, allowing to predict compatibility and increase efficiency of blending operations.

In addition, the SV10 eliminates all safety risks linked to the manipulation of hazardous solvents.

The SV10 is the modern and valuable analytical tool for the research, refineries, blenders and traders.

Easy
The SV10 is a straightfoward automated instrument that follows the test method ASTM D7157. The test preparation is simplified and the test is run unattended, simultaneously, on the 3 positions.

Wide range of applications
The SV10 has the ability to measures samples with asphaltenes concentration <0.4%.
It is compatible with crude oils, heavy fuel oils, residues, bitumens, marine fuels (VLSFO, ULSFO, …), asphalten free oils, tar sand crude oils, emulsions…
The presence of coke particles will not affect the measurement with the SV10, there is then no need to remove coke particles prior to run a test.
It allows:
the monitoring and optimization of the refinerie processes: distillation, craking (thermal, hydrocracking) and visbreaking units
the prediction and optimization of the oils blending: marine, power plants, …
the monitoring and optimization of the tar sands dilution with light ends in the field
the bitumen analysis and blending optimization
Increases precision
The temperature controlled high precision measuring cell (Licence TOTAL RC), combined with the simplified weighting procedure and automated toluene dilution of the SV10 are significantly improving the precision of the test. Indeed, the test is not anymore dependant on the ambient temperature, accurate and repeatable dilution is warranted by automatic dispencer, and sample homonisation is assured by the agitation and specially designed closed loop system.

Reduces labor
The SV10 is a “Set it and Forget it” instrument. Once the titration cups are weighted and positioned on the instrument, the operator keys in the test details and starts the test. Then all future test phases (dilution, titration and cleaning) are automatic. The operator time is reduced to its minimum. At the end of the test, the titration results are displayed and the stability results are automatically computed and transferred if the SV10 is connected to a LIMS system.

Quick test
The tipical test time is 20 minutes. The smart temperature ramp heating combined with automatic detection of the sample agitation stops temperature increase as soon as the diluted sample became enough fluid. This allows to preserve the sample from overheating and get the result quicker.

Quality features
The SV10 has a built in result database. All details related to each test result are memorized. In addition, all information related to the instrumentcalibration is memorized to ensure a perfect traceability. Periodical verification of solvent dispensers precision is available with full traceability of operations.

Increases safety
The SV10 totally eliminates all safety risks linked to the manipulation of hazardous solvents.

Very compact design
The 3 positions standalone automated SV10 instrument does not need much bench space: the width is only 44cm.

Application

Marine
Refineries
Crude oil

Running a test with the SV10 is straightforward and very easy, the operator:

(1) weight the sample(s)

(2) position up to 3 samples in parallel on the SV10

(3) close the door and initiate the test(s)

Then the all procedure is automated: toluene dilution, heptane titration, measure of the flocculation point and cleaning. Detection curves are displayed in real time, and the SV10 computes the stability results according to the selected titration tests.
