SU for use with the heavy oil screen 60 mesh Geotech application engi neers should be consulted for product recovery operations with viscosities outside that range Silts and fines in the product can clog the screens ability to recover hydrocarbons Alternatives should be discussed if their presence in the product is anticipated This technology is designed to be used in wells with free product of at least 1 8 8 2 mm thickness The oresence of surfactants or detergents in the product can also affect the screen s ability to differentiate between water and hydro carbons Please call Geotech at 800 833 7958 to discuss your special applications Using the Hydrocarbon Viscosity Test Kit When testing for product viscosity always start with the 100 mesh blue floatable test screen a complete kit is shown on the left Note Viscosity is temperature dependent When testing for ap plicability make sure the hydrocarbons tested are at the same temperature as the environment in which they will be recovered Testing at 75 80 F 24 27 C room temperature may prove applicable but may not function in a 45 50 F 7 10 C ground water environment 1 Fill the glass container 1 38 1 2 full of water 2 Using the syringe introduce 20cc of the hydrocarbon to the jar 3 Using a soft bristle brush condition or prime the outside of the 100 mesh blue test screen with the product to be recovered 4 Once the hydrocar
