Fluid selection

Formations can be oil wet or water wet. The fluid filtrate depends on what is the continuous phase of the completion fluid. Thus the formation wettability can be reduced by wettability charge. This effect can be controlled either by proper fluid selection or by treatment with water wetting additives.

Many of the same properties that make supercritical fluids advantageous in chromatography also enhance their ability to extract compounds from within a sample matrix.(4) Also, since the solubility of most compounds is dependent on the density of the supercritical fluid, selective extraction is possible. (J5) These properties are well known, and have been exploited in some cases where the extraction was formerly done with a liquid. In many cases, the quality of extract is higher, and extractions are of higher efficiency than with liquids. Supercritical fluids, especially CO, are also often less expensive, less toxic and less flammable than their organic liquid phase counterparts. 

The factors numbered three to six can be reduced to economic considerations. Ultimately, the heat-transfer fluid selected will depend on the total cost, both capital and operating costs. For example, if a heat-transfer fluid meets the first two requirements, but it is more toxic than other possibilities, then the heat-transfer system will have to contain extra safety features, increasing its cost. The heat-transfer fluid will then need to have other compensating features to reduce the cost of transferring heat.

Because the desorbed contaminant will be diluted by the regeneration fluid, the fluid must be selected by considering how the contaminant will ultimately be removed. if the contaminant is easily condensable, such as water or solvents, then a noncondensable fluid such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, or fuel gas will allow recoveiy by condensing. If the adsorbate is condensable and immiscible with water, steam can be used for regeneration and both can be condensed and decanted. At other times, the fluid may be sdected as one that can easily be distilled from the contaminant. If the adsoibate is to be discarded and can be incinerated, fuel gas may be used as the r eneiant and the mixture used in a burner or furnace. When the fluid selected is different tiian the feed stream, care must be taken to prevent excessive cross-contamination of streams. 

Bilayers of surfactants called phospholipids are integral structural units of biological membranes. In living organisms, membranes are made of roughly 40% lipid and 60% protein and generally exist in a partly fluid, selectively permeable state [6, 7], The phospholipids are arranged in bilayers, and proteins can be adsorbed onto the surface or imbedded in the bilayer (Fig. 1). 

The specific gravity, denoted d, S.G., or simply G, is a dimensionless physical quantity equal to the ratio of the mass density of the material at a given temperature (tj to the mass density of a reference fluid selected as a standard at a given temperature (t ). Since the mass density of materials varies with temperature, for a precise definition the temperature of both materials must be stated ... 

Many rubber products must operate in contact with fluids of various types. An important part of compound design is formulation for resistance to fluids. Selection of suitable polymer is important, (e.g., use of a polar rubber for oil resistance), while for minimal swelling it is desirable to have a high crosslink density. Other design considerations are also important, such as the effect of the liquid on the filler and plasticiser systems. Plasticisers will often be extracted by fluids and occasionally replaced by the fluid within the compound. Filler effects are discussed in Section 7.6.3.5. 

Figure 1 compares the complete family of PCB and PCB-containing solids and fluids with those fluids selected for physical-chemical property characterization. Figure 1 is discussed below in terms of the categories or classifications of PCB and PCB-containing fluids selected for property characterization. The associated approximations that were employed in obtaining the physical-chemical data for the selected fluids are discussed in the next section. 

While the reprecipitation reactions in HF acidizing are various and complex, they do not preclude success, by any means. Reprecipitation reactions are not completely avoidable, but their effect on stimulation response can be minimized or eliminated with proper fluid selection, modern acid system use, and treatment design, as discussed in chapter 6. Thus, there is hope and reason to be encouraged.
