Elaboration and Construction of Filter Cartridges for Completion Fluids in the Oil Industry Elaboración de cartuchos de filtración para fluidos de completamiento en la industria Petrolera

Abstract

In the petroleum industry the process of completion fluid filtration is carried out with different types of cartridges, this research developed two types of cartridge type filter strings from organic materials, which generate an appropriate filter medium from design and geometry of the filter.
Strung cartridges are manufactured with a machine designed  and manufactured  for this purpose, allowing a variable voltage and constant process. The  experimental tests were carried out in units of filtered completion fluids, where the variables to be monitored were: volume, flow ,pressure and suspended solids. These variables possible to compare and analyze the cartridges developed in research with the different prototypes used in the oil industry.
