Equipment
SPEC engineers and fabricates heater treaters, electrostatic desalters and stabilisation systems that bring crude and condensate to storage or export specification.
Crude and condensate must reach storage or export on specification.
In this category
The process route is selected around feed properties, emulsion stability, export specification and downstream handling.
Reducing vapour pressure so the crude can be stored and exported safely and to specification.

Heat and residence time to break the emulsion and drop water out of the crude.

An electrostatic field coalescing fine water droplets for dehydration and salt removal.
View details →Capabilities
Heat applied to reduce viscosity and weaken the emulsion so water can separate.
An applied field merges fine water droplets into larger ones that settle out.
Stripping light ends to bring true vapour pressure within the export limit.
Wash water and coalescing to bring salt content down to refinery or export limits.
Materials and detailing selected for high H₂S crude, as on the Ain Sifni development.
Manufacture, inspection, testing, surface preparation and coating under SPEC's quality management system.
Trains can be assembled and tested before shipment where required by project scope, reducing site installation work.
Where included in scope, field engineers support commissioning, start-up and performance testing.
Heater treaters, desalters and stabiliser columns supplied on skids with piping, instrumentation and access platforms.
Applications
Treatment, metering and utilities for early production, as on the 10,000 BOPD Ain Sifni Phase 1 facility handling high-H₂S sour crude.
Large treatment trains gathering from multiple wells, where desalting duty is set by the export or refinery salt limit.
Crude desalting ahead of the atmospheric column, and vacuum distillation duty as supplied to Frontier Company in Iraq.
