Oil & Gas3-phase-separation in a crude performance improvedCrude oil is a mixture of gas, water, oil, emulsion and several other impurities. To become a marketable product, the crude has to be processed with various…Limescale · HydrocarbonsOil & GasCorrosion rate in oil plant due to SRB reduced by 10 times.In this gathering station oil and water is separated. The process is supported by heat which is introduced in the system. The major problem in this system is…Corrosion · Biofouling · HydrocarbonsOil & GasEffluent Water TreatmentIn the separation process of crude oil, „produced water“ is extracted. As the goal mostly is to dewater the oil, the water itself is not clean and contains a…Limescale · HydrocarbonsOil & GasFlow lines and trunk lines in the oil and gas industryTrunk and flow lines are pipes connecting the wells with the treatment plants. Flow lines are the connection from the well itself, to either a treatment plant…Limescale · Corrosion · HydrocarbonsMarineHeat Exchanger Fouling stopped and removedThe fouling in heat exchangers is a commom issue in many companies and the resulting cleaning efforts is a common task.Limescale · Corrosion · Biofouling · HydrocarbonsOil & GasHeattransfer hydrocarbon improvedDuring refining oil in a refinery the oil has to be heated to rather high temperatures. For this the crude passes a row of heat exchangers. These heat…Limescale · HydrocarbonsIndustry · Q8, Rotterdam NetherlandsLimescale in effluent water pipe of a refineryThe Q8 refinery is located in Europoort the port of Rotterdam, which is the biggest port in the world.
