Vertical Heater 4′ X 20′ Refurbished

Maximize efficiency in your oilfield operations with this refurbished 4′ x 20′ vertical heater treater, engineered specifically for upstream crude oil processing. Compact, rugged, and performance-driven, this unit utilizes an internal firetube to apply targeted heat—effectively breaking down emulsions and separating oil, gas, and water with precision.

Whether you’re operating in a remote field or a high-output production site, this heater treater helps optimize throughput, minimize downstream load, and improve fluid handling from the wellhead onward.

🔩 Built for Demanding Field Conditions

This vertical heater treater is a non-code, heavy-duty unit designed for deployment in tough, infrastructure-limited environments. Its vertical orientation reduces its footprint, making it ideal for space-constrained production pads. The steel construction ensures long-term durability in extreme weather and operational conditions.

By pre-treating production fluids in the field, it reduces the stress on downstream equipment—extending system life and improving the overall efficiency of your oil treatment process.

🔥 Advanced Emulsion Separation Process

In upstream production, crude oil often contains a mix of gas, water, and sediment. This unit applies direct heat via an internal firetube to break emulsions—allowing gravity to naturally separate the components:

• Gas rises to the top

• Water sinks to the bottom

• Oil remains in the middle

The outcome is cleaner, more manageable fluids that are easier to pump, store, and transport, resulting in fewer bottlenecks and smoother overall production.

✅ Ideal Use Cases

• Wellhead oil/gas/water separation

• Crude oil pre-treatment before pipeline or storage

• Reducing load on downstream separators and treaters

• Mobile or remote production sites with limited access to infrastructure
