Abstract

Embodiments presented provide for a method and apparatus for testing a sample fluid for asphaltene deposition. The apparatus provides two testing cylinders and a transfer pump to transfer fluid from the first cylinder to the second cylinder and back again while pressure is varied on the testing fluid, while a spectrometer evaluates the fluid during the pressure variation.
