Heat Recovery From Dry To Wet Crude

Conserving boiler fuel offshore is an important benefit of efficient and compact Tranter Plate Heat Exchangers.

Challenge

Capture heat energy from hot, dry crude from the treater undergoing cooling and transfer it to the crude emulsion heaters.

Solution

A Tranter SUPERCHANGER Plate And Frame Heat Exchanger configured as an interchanger; or, if operating conditions are sufficiently high, a PLATECOIL® Prime Surface Heat Exchanger bank circuit

Results

With their high U or K values, Tranter Plate Heat Exchangers recover a larger percentage of the available heat energy than possible with shell and tube heat exchangers.
Good resistance to scaling on heat exchange surfaces.
Long service cycles without leaks or downtime.
Compact size and low weight.
Good maintenance accessibility.
