Equipment

Ancillary Equipment

SPEC engineers and fabricates water bath heaters, heat medium packages, pig launchers and receivers, and the utility systems that support the main process.

Insulated skid-mounted equipment with control valves and filter vessels

Supplied with SPEC process equipment or as standalone units.

Capabilities

Design and Fabrication Features

Indirect heating

A U-shaped firetube immersed in the water bath transfers heat without direct flame contact on the process coil.

ASME Section VIII coils

Process coils fabricated from seamless pipe to ASME Section VIII Division 1 and 100% radiographed.

Hydrate prevention

Heating gas ahead of pressure reduction to stop freezing across the expansion valve.

Pour point control

Keeping crude above the paraffin pour point so it remains pumpable through the system.

Quick open closures

Major barrels fitted with quick open closure ends for efficient loading and unloading of pigs.

Kicker and balance lines

Balance lines pressurise both sides of the pig so it neither moves forward nor loses its seal in the reducer.

Electro-pneumatic instrumentation

Low level and high temperature switches, temperature controller and fuel gas low pressure switch as standard.

Jib cranes and pig trays

Handling aids so operators can load and unload pigs safely at the trap.

High efficiency burner

Burner with burner management system, fuel gas manifold and preheat coil.

Applications

Where This Equipment Is Used

Pressure reduction station

Heating gas upstream of the manifold so the temperature drop across the valve does not form hydrates or freeze the expansion.
