Overview
Oil and gas operations require efficient and reliable heating across various processes, including crude oil heating, emulsion treatment, and gas scrubbing. Traditional heating methods don’t always offer precise, on-demand heat with high energy efficiency and minimal maintenance.
Direct Steam Injection (DSI) heaters can benefit oil and gas applications by boosting operational efficiency, reducing downtime, and supporting safety and sustainability:
- Increases throughput with on-demand, direct steam heating, maintaining optimal temperatures for effective oil, gas, and water separation
- Reduces energy costs through near 100% thermal efficiency, lowering fuel consumption and minimizing heat loss
- Minimizes downtime with reduced fouling and scaling, decreasing maintenance needs and ensuring continuous operation
- Improves water and chemical treatment efficiency, supporting applications like gas scrubbing and descaling with controlled, on-demand heating
- Simplifies installation with a compact design that fits limited spaces on rigs and offshore platforms, ideal for retrofits and expansions
- Enhances safety with precise temperature control, reducing the risk of overheating and maintaining stable, secure high-temperature operations
- Lowers environmental impact by cutting fuel usage and emissions, supporting sustainable practices, and regulatory compliance
- Optimizes emulsion treatment with consistent heating, improving oil quality, reducing water content, and streamlining downstream processes, while enhancing process efficiency through precise temperature control that improves separation, emulsification, and treatment quality.
Hydroheater®
Also known as the Jetcooker™, our Hydroheater® has the longest proven history of heating and processing a complex range of liquids and materials. Known for its adjustability, durability, and power, the near century of engineering and innovation behind the design of this workhorse speaks for itself.
- Volume capability: 1 up to 6,700 gpm [0.2 up to 1,522 m³/hr]
NOH™ (Non-Obstructing Heater)
The Non-Obstructing Heater is rugged enough to handle even the toughest abrasive materials, like sand and grit, to fibrous materials and large particulates.
- Its non-obstructive design protects against plugging, fouling, and pressure drop with its powerful, unrestricted flow.
- Volume capability: 30 up to 3,035 gpm [6.8 up to 689 m³/hr]
Solaris®
Perfect for viscous slurries, the Solaris® heater features an optimized straight-through design and low shear flow perfect for heavy slurries with medium consistency or higher solid contents. The flow diffuser injects steam across the entire cross-section to ensure thorough mixing and a uniform temperature profile even at a high volume and flow rate.
- Volume capability: 5 up to 25,000 gpm [1 up to 5,678 m³/hr]
EZ Heater®
The EZ Heater® is the industry leader in all hot water applications with its unique internal modulation, and self-cleaning ability. With on-demand hot water where you need it, the EZ Heater is ideal for washing stations, Clean in Place (CIP) systems, and anywhere reliable hot water is needed.
- Volume capability: 2 up to 1,350 gpm [.5 up to 306 m3/hr]
