A pack of 3 enhanced oil recovery (EOR) chips with topconnect interface to be used with the Micronit Fluidic Connect Pro chip holder. This chip is used to verify calculation models by providing an optically clear rock model with known geometrical patterns.
Available uncoated or with a hydrophobic coating, with 3 network designs.
General
This enhanced oil recovery (EOR) chip from Micronit provides an accurate and optically clear substitute of rock to verify calculation models. This Micronit chip offers the following features:
- Manufactured from high-quality borosilicate glass, inert to most chemicals and biocompatible
- Precision-etched microfluidic channels for reproducible results
- Uncoated (hydrophilic) or coated* (hydrophobic)
*coating is applied on a best-effort base, some areas where geometries are not interconnected may remain uncoated.
Micronit EOR chips are available in 3 designs:
PHYSICAL ROCK NETWORK
This chip is designed by randomly placing rock-shaped structures on the chip to resemble the shape that is obtained by cutting rock as accurately as possible. This random structure results in throats and channels between the rock structures. This method of random placement does not give information on throat size distribution.
For simulation purposes, the mask (2D) design is available on request. However, experience has taught us that the complexity of this structure makes it challenging to run computer simulations on.
RANDOM NETWORK
Random network porous structure chip, often used for Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (CEOR) and Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR) experiments.
UNIFORM NETWORK
A systematically organized and well-defined rock-pore structure of equally sized pores and channels.
