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 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®
Hydroheater® (aka Jetcooker™) has 90 years of proven history in heating and processing a complex range of liquids and materials. Known for its adjustability, durability, and power, the patented engineering and innovation behind the design of this workhorse speaks for itself.
