    Oil and gas heaters

    Oil and gas heaters are used at production and processing facilities where stable temperatures directly impact equipment operation and the smooth operation of the process chain. As temperatures drop, oil becomes viscous, paraffin deposits form, and gas forms hydrates, causing pipelines to lose capacity and increasing the risk of line shutdowns. For this reason, heaters must be installed upstream of metering, separation, and transportation units to ensure product preparation for further operations. Heating occurs indirectly through a coil, eliminating flame contact and preserving the product’s physical and chemical properties without localized overheating. The equipment is designed for 24/7 operation and operates reliably under fluctuating pressure, temperature, and environmental conditions. Oil and gas heaters can be ordered in Tashkent based on specific field parameters: flow rate, pressure, fluid composition, and climate zone. This equipment can serve as insurance against unnecessary headaches at the facility. It effectively reduces the risk of accidents and keeps processes running smoothly. Plus, the pipes last longer, and maintenance costs, especially in cold weather, are significantly reduced. Thermoflow products are manufactured in compliance with international quality and safety standards.

    FAQ

    Why is heating of hydrocarbons critical for the fields of Uzbekistan?

    Oil and gas often contain paraffins and hydrates, which crystallize during production and transportation and clog pipelines. ASMEX PETROCHEM heaters reduce the viscosity of raw materials, ensuring its uninterrupted pumping. This is especially important in winter in the steppe zones of the republic, where a sharp drop in temperature can lead to a complete stop in the supply of resources.

    How is the fire safety of heaters with direct fire heating ensured?

    Safety is guaranteed by a multi-level automation system. Sensors for monitoring flame, gas pressure and product temperature instantly shut off the fuel supply in case of any deviation from the norm. The design of the combustion chamber eliminates flame penetration to the outside, which allows the installation to be operated in close proximity to process vessels.

    What is the efficiency of modern oil heating systems?

    The use of intermediate coolant and optimized burner devices allows achieving efficiency of 85–92%. This minimizes the consumption of the enterprise’s own gas for technological needs. Effective thermal insulation of the housing reduces energy losses to the environment to a minimum, which significantly reduces the cost of oil preparation.
