Heater Treater is a vessel that uses heat to break oil-water emulsions so that the treated oil can be prepared for delivery. Horizontal heater treaters are used in the Oil & Gas industry to help facilitate oil/water separation by speeding up emulsions separation through applying heat.
Heater treaters can also function as a free water knockout, a heat exchanger, a filter, and as a water wash tank. This equipment provides a safe, predictable convective heat transfer environment for your sensitive process fluids. This provide an even heat transfer avoiding hot spots and in turn avoiding thermo-degradation and/or scaling of process fluid. The requirement of heating of various medias is achieved with this equipment.
Bliss’s pre-engineered design and adherence to the latest ASME standards ensures consistent and reliable construction, optimal performance, and safe operation.
Operation:
Fluids enter the treater skid through the inlet and flow into the cover surrounding the fire tube. Gas that is released from the incoming fluids exits the vessel through the back-pressure valve. Water released from the incoming fluids collects in the lower section of the skid. Heating, further extracts additional water from the crude, and this is then discharged through the water outlet.
The treated oil is then directed into the settling section and is then directed towards the oil outlet, for delivery to storage or transport or pipelines.
Highlights:
• Adequately designed for both vertical and horizontal installation. • Direct type and Indirect Type • Custom built to suit the process requirement and the client need. • Designed and Manufactured as per international quality norms. • Light weight insulation reduces loading weight. • Resistance to mechanical and thermal shocks. • Faster start-up and cool down period. • Low installation cost since the heater with all instruments and controls can be skid mounted for simple, economical installation & relocation.
