regime (laminar or turbulent). For reduced rig time and more efficient cleaning, turbulent flow
rates for the spacers and brine have been chosen.
Below are found diagrams of various stages in the displacement for this WSA C06 (WSAP-16)
applications. In a separate file, are found the DISPLEX printout of all the pumping schedules for
this simulation.
