NOVALOOP
NOVALOOP : InNOVAtive LOop For Oil Process
CERG's HALL 5 is dedicated to Oil & Gas processes and handles R&D projects related to oil/petroleum separation and coalescence in Subsea Process and Flow insurance programmes. There are several items of equipment: a kerosene loop for optimising fuel pumps, a loop dedicated to the power transmission lubrication, and a high temperature and high pressure cyclic pressure bench. Refurbished in 2013, it can handle future Deep Offshore and cyclonic separator projects, investigation of slugs and also sand erosion. A crude loop is available for prototype similarity studies.
