Vertical Heater 4′ X 20′ Refurbished

Upgrade your oilfield operations with this refurbished 4′ x 20′ vertical heater treater, purpose-built for upstream oil and gas production. Designed for reliability and performance in the field, this unit uses an internal firetube to apply targeted heat—effectively breaking down emulsions and separating oil, water, and gas at the wellhead.

Whether deployed at a remote location or a high-volume production site, this heater treater helps improve flow efficiency, reduce strain on downstream systems, and optimize overall production throughput.

🔩 Engineered for Harsh Field Conditions

This non-code vertical heater treater is constructed from heavy-duty carbon steel and built to withstand tough environments and variable field conditions. Its vertical orientation offers a compact footprint, making it easy to integrate into tight or mobile production sites. Perfect for operations where space, power, or infrastructure is limited.

By pre-treating production fluids on-site, this unit reduces the burden on downstream separators, storage tanks, and treatment systems—helping extend equipment lifespan and reduce processing costs.

🔥 Efficient Emulsion Separation

In upstream production, crude oil often contains unwanted water, gas, and sediments. This unit applies controlled heat through its internal firetube to break emulsions, enabling gravity-based separation within the vessel:

• Gas rises to the top

• Water settles at the bottom

• Oil remains in the middle

The result: cleaner, more manageable product streams that are easier to pump, transport, and refine—leading to improved operational efficiency across the board.

✅ Primary Applications

• Oil/water/gas separation at the wellhead

• Pre-conditioning crude oil before pipeline transport or storage

• Reducing the load on downstream treater systems

• Temporary, remote, or mobile production setups
