The Argentine firm of services for the industry launched a new research and development laboratory.In this way they seek to expand chemical products through the different productive basins in the country.The laboratory required an investment of $345,000.Photo: Courtesy.The Argentine firm Pecom of services for the energy and mining industry, began activities in its new laboratory at its base in Tocancipá, Colombia to extend its chemical products in the region.For this, they invested 345,000 dollars in its construction and equipment.In the facilities they will be able to carry out the Jar test, which allows them to evaluate and select flocculant, clarifying, Reverse breaker products.In turn, they will be able to apply Sparge Beaker and LPR.The first evaluates corrosion rates under dynamic conditions with CO2 gas, to develop Taylormade products in the case of corrosion inhibitors.This is complemented by linear polarization probes (LPR).On the other hand, they will be able to carry out Dynamic Scale Loop, a system that is used to develop "scaling inhibitors by dynamically evaluating the inhibition performance, where pressure variations are recorded as a function of time of a fluid current that circulates through a capillary" , they detailed from the signature.They also installed equipment to apply Wax flow Loop, which is used to measure "the efficiency and performance of paraffin inhibitors and friction reducers under dynamic flow conditions."As well as for Pour Point Testing Bath, which allows determining the pour point, fundamental in the selection of paraffin and asphaltene inhibitors.They will be able to carry out the monitoring of various chemical water treatments, through the Spectrophotometer.Lastly, the facilities will allow them to evaluate the deposition of organics by lowering the temperature, necessary to evaluate the performance and efficiency of paraffin inhibitors from the Multi-place cold finger."Our exploratory DNA drives us to grow and this new laboratory is a clear expression of our aspirations to provide solutions tailored to the client, in this case in treatments and chemical products, and expand our portfolio in the Andean region", said the CEO of Pecom, Javier Gremes Cordero.The initiative of the laboratory allows to develop and produce chemical products for the energy industry in the different productive basins of the country.As detailed, they seek to replicate the experience in "chemical treatments developed in Argentina, where we have more than 40% of the market, which crystallized in a service very close to the client with optimal performance."The firm has had a presence in Colombia since November 2018. At that time, it bought the shares of Bolland SA, for which it acquired the company's businesses in the country.Pecom in Colombia covers the segment of chemical treatments for Oil and Gas and Artificial Lift for oil wells.As for the Artificial Lift "we have more than 70% of the market" in Colombia.There they market the mechanical depth pumps that the firm manufactures at its plant in Argentina.From Pecom they highlighted that in Colombia "we have patented products which allows us to offer high value solutions guaranteeing the quality of the products and services provided".It is a publication of Editorial Río Negro SA All rights reserved.Copyright 2020.
