This 4′ x 20′ vertical heater is a compact, high-performance vessel purpose-built for upstream oilfield operations. Designed as a non-code heater treater, it uses thermal energy to separate oil, gas, and water from production fluids—optimizing emulsion breakdown and enhancing throughput efficiency.
Function & Operation
Vertical heater treaters play a critical role in upstream production, where raw crude typically contains a mix of water, gas, and sediment. This unit uses an internal firetube to apply direct heat, destabilizing emulsions and allowing gravity-based separation:
- Gas rises to the top
- Water settles at the bottom
- Oil collects in the mid-section
This process simplifies handling and prepares each component for further treatment, storage, or transport.
Primary Applications
- Emulsion breaking and phase separation (oil, water, gas)
- Crude oil conditioning prior to transportation
- Wellhead separation in remote or high-output locations
- Minimizing downstream processing loads
Ideal Use Cases
Perfect for wellsite deployment, especially in early-stage production zones where untreated wellstream fluids require initial conditioning before pipeline or tank storage entry.
