Produced well fluids consist of various amounts of oil, water, natural gas, and sediment. The first step in oil and gas production is to split the flow up into its individual components with a separator. A three-phase separator uses gravity to separate produced well...
Sand Separators. In the oil and gas industry, it is more commonly known as a separator and is a core component of extracting oil from earth and sand. Sand separators are an integral part in protecting downstream production equipment from well-formation sand and/or frac...
Compact heat exchangers are a type of heat exchanger designed to provide a high heat transfer rate in a small footprint. They are commonly used in applications where space is limited, such as in aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries.
A centrifugal separator typically consists of a rotating bowl or drum. The fluid mixture is introduced into the bowl, and as the bowl spins, the centrifugal force causes the denser particles to move towards the outer wall, while the lighter fluid remains near the...
A vertical separator is a cylindrical vessel that is oriented vertically. When a gas-liquid mixture enters the separator, the heavier liquid phase settles to the bottom, while the lighter gas phase rises to the top. The liquid phase is then drawn off through a...
Air-cooled heat exchangers typically consist of a bundle of tubes through which the process fluid flows. Fins are attached to the tubes to increase the surface area for heat transfer. Air is forced or drawn across the finned tubes, removing heat from the process...
Stringent regulations on air pollution are being implemented globally, urging companies to adopt necessary measures. Gas scrubbers are legally mandated in industries where employees are exposed to potentially contaminated gases, making them a widely employed method for pollution control.
Cold heat exchangers, also known as condensers, are essential components in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. They transfer heat from a refrigerant to a cooling medium, typically air or water, to condense the refrigerant vapor into a liquid state.
Obtaining a U-Stamp or U2-Stamp from the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors (NBBPVI) is a significant achievement for manufacturers and fabricators of pressure vessels and boilers. These certifications signify adherence to rigorous quality, safety, and performance standards.
Electric boilers use electricity to generate steam or hot water — eliminating the need for fuel combustion. Unlike traditional boilers, there are no burners, gas valves, or flue stacks. Heat is generated through electrical resistance or electrode-type elements, making them clean, quiet, and often...
The difference between the U designation and the UM designation is related to size. However, this is not the only difference between the two. UM designated pressure vessels are not required to undergo the same inspection regimen as the larger, U stamped pressure vessels.
Glycol dehydrators, also known as gas dehydrators or TEG units, are used to remove water vapor from natural gas. The process of dehydration is important for two reasons.
The ASME® B31.1 Code for Power Piping is a widely recognized standard that provides guidelines for the design, fabrication, and installation of piping systems for power plants. This code ensures the safety and reliability of piping systems by establishing rigorous design and construction standards.
Magnetic separators utilize magnetic forces to separate magnetic materials from non-magnetic materials. They are widely used in various industries, including mining, recycling, and food processing. Magnetic separators are a valuable tool for separating materials based on their magnetic properties. By understanding the principles of...
Fluidized bed boilers (FBBs) use a unique combustion method where solid fuel particles are suspended in an upward flow of air — creating a fluid-like state. This allows for highly efficient combustion at lower temperatures with improved emissions control.
