Project Details
Client: Advanced Research Laboratory
Industry: Oil & Gas | Geochemistry | Environmental Testing
Project Value: $30,000+
Duration: 8 Weeks
An advanced research lab approached Engineering Approach to design two custom lab systems:
A Soxhlet Extraction System for safe and efficient handling of volatile organic solvents.
A Rock Sample Flushing Rig to simulate real-world subsurface conditions for fluid flow and permeability testing.
The lab needed systems that were modular, chemically compatible, and compliant with OSHA, NFPA, and lab-grade safety standards.
Soxhlet Extraction System – Design & Engineering
Soxhlet Extraction System – Design & Engineering
To ensure safe and efficient extraction of organic solvents:
🔹 Ventilation Design
Integrated a dedicated fume hood and ducted ventilation system.
Designed to handle volatile vapor with chemical-resistant materials and airflow regulation.
🔹 Standards Compliance
Fully compliant with OSHA and NFPA standards.
Designed for operator safety and long-term solvent exposure.
🔹 Chemical Compatibility
All materials selected (seals, tubing, housing) were resistant to commonly used solvents in Soxhlet processes.
Rock Sample Flushing Rig – Field Simulation System
Rock Sample Flushing Rig – Field Simulation System
The system was tailored for lab-based simulation of geological reservoir conditions:
🔸 Pressure & Flow Control
Included high-precision pressure regulators, pumps, and high-pressure tubing.
Simulated deep subsurface conditions with tunable fluid injection.
🔸 Custom Core Holders & Sealing
Designed bespoke sample holders for a variety of rock cores.
High-integrity sealing ensured zero leakage even under pressure.
🔸 Instrumentation & Data Logging
Real-time monitoring via:
Temperature transmitters
Pressure sensors
Flow meters
