The preheating reduces the viscosity of some kinds of crude oil and by that way improves the upstream separation performances. Our know-how allows us to find the appropriate solutions to our customers’ issues and to manufacture custom-made equipment.

According to your site restraints, we design autonomous solutions for crude oil heating with indirect water bath heaters or through fire tubes upstream of separation sections.

According to the available utilities on-site, this preheating can be done through shell and tube heat exchangers (TEMA type) where crude oil is heated using production water, then with superheated water.

 

PROCESS SYSTEMS can provide produced water treatment packages for the removal of hydrocarbons as well as suspended solids from the produced water coming from separators, FWKO vessels, heater-treater, or electrostatic coalescers.

We manufacture equipment for crude oil transfer and distribution, such as pig traps, production manifolds, and liquid pumping skids.
