Oil storage tanks serve as a staging area to collect crude oil in several stages of production. These tanks are used in production fields and hold the oil until it is delivered to tankers or into a pipeline. Storage tanks are also used as a holding area for crude oil before the refining process and they also hold refined products after it is processed.

Coalescing gas separators (or coalescing separators) are designed specifically for the removal of mist, fogs, and dust from gas streams. Standard separators cannot remove these small, minute contaminants in the gas stream because particles are usually less than 10 microns. A coalescing gas separator consist of a vessel, combining specially constructed coalescing elements and a […]

How to prepare oil and gas processing for winter Why is winter hard on production and processing? Two words; hydrate formations. Hydrates are crystals formed when water and gas are combined in a low temperature and high-pressure environment. They become more prevalent during colder ambient temperatures. During the colder ambient temperatures, water vapor will begin to condense which can cause […]

An oil and gas separator is used for removing and collecting liquids from natural gas. A properly designed separator will also provide the release of entrained gases from the accumulated hydrocarbon liquids. These separators can go by many names or different purposes like liquid separators, oil separators, water and oil separators, etc., but the most […]

This timelapse video shows the two day-long insulation process in just 30 seconds. Joule Thomson Systems (JT) are important systems in your surface processing operations, and if the piping and heat exchangers are poorly sealed or insulated they are likely contributing to lower efficiency gains and consistent cold separator temperatures. The Joule Thomson System simultaneously reduces the […]
