Heater Treaters

Power Service is part of our DNOW U.S. Process Solutions operating unit, providing the ultimate solution for your oil and water separation challenges. Our heater treaters utilize advanced thermal technology and retention time techniques to separate oil and water emulsions effectively. Built to ASME standards, these treaters guarantee robust performance and exceptional reliability.

We offer treaters in various configurations, based on your application and budget.

• Vertical and horizontal treaters
• Heater treaters
• Heavy-wall construction
• Hybrid separators (separator + treater)

Heater treaters are pressure vessels that offer several key benefits in oil and gas production:

• Improved Oil Quality:  The primary function of these vessels is to separate oil from unwanted elements like water and gas. Applying heat and pressure creates an environment where these components can be effectively separated, resulting in purer crude oil.
• Efficient Processing:  Heater treaters can handle emulsions, a stubborn mix of oil and water. The heating process helps break these emulsions down, allowing for more efficient separation and faster crude oil processing.
• Space Optimization: These vessels have two primary configurations: vertical and horizontal. Vertical heater treaters are known for their smaller footprint, making them ideal for locations with limited space.
• Cost-Effectiveness:  Enabling efficient oil processing can reduce overall production costs.
• Pressure Versatility:  Depending on the specific application, heater treaters can be designed to operate at various pressure ranges, which can be advantageous in certain situations.
