Product Details
Our Product Groups
The oil and water services Frames provides are diverse. We design and
supply the entire separation process, from high-pressure separation to
treatment of crude oil and produced water. Our separation packages are
specialized down to specific internals for gas/liquid and liquid/liquid
separation, oil treatment, sand handling and produced water treatment.
Multiphase Separation
Crude oil wells contain oil, gas, water, solids and various contaminants.
To optimize field production, our multiphase separators perform the
primary separation, such as degassing and separating water from crude.
Multiphase separators are usually the first and most comprehensive set
of equipment in the upstream oil production field, with downstream
equipment completely dependent on the proper functioning of the
multiphase separators during the life cycle of a field.
Using state-of-the-art technologies, Frames Multiphase Separators
guarantee adequate separation performance. Our clients benefit from
over 30 years of process knowledge supported by our in-house computa-
tional fluid dynamics (CFD) and research and development expertise.
Multiphase separators are used to separate gas from the liquid phase,
which can be a single continuous phase or a mixture of two immiscible
phases.
Skid Mounted Separators
At Frames we supply the following types of
multiphase separators:
• Two-phase and three-phase separators
• HP (high pressure), LP (low pressure),
IP (intermediate pressure) separators
• Knock-out drums (KOD)
• Inlet separators
• Test separators
• Water oil separators (WOSEP)
• Produced water degassers
We also have extensive knowledge and experience
designing and manufacturing high-quality shell and
tube heat exchangers.

Separation Internals
The internal design forms the essence of the separa-
tor’s performance. Frames Separation Internals are
typically differentiated as inlet devices, gas/liquid
or liquid/liquid separation enhancers, or as other
internals. Inlet devices for multiphase separators
are, for example, Frames Advanced Vane-Type Inlet
Devices (FAVID) or Frames Advanced Cyclonic-Type
Inlet Devices (FACID). Coalescing plate packs for
liquid/liquid separation, and vane packs for demisting
gas, are examples of separation enhancers. Other or
additional internals include sand removal internals
(offline or online) and calming baffles.
Our internals are custom-built and specifically designed
according to the specifications and performance
requirements of each project. At Frames we select the
optimum proprietary internals to meet each perfor-
mance guarantee. As required, the process design can
be supported by expert in-house Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) modeling.
Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers
Our shell and tube heat exchangers are applied in fluid streams that
require cooling, condensing, heating or evaporation. Our proven units
reduce energy consumption and operational costs by efficiently transfer-
ring heat from one medium to another.
The shell and tube heat exchangers are designed according TEMA and
API660 (ISO 16812) and are used in different industries for onshore and
offshore applications. The heat exchangers are fabricated by Frames
according to Dutch quality standards, and can be designed and supplied
with an ASME U-stamp certificate.
With years of experience, Frames specialists can design and fabricate
shell and tube heat exchangers that provide exceptional performance
across the full range of operating pressures and temperatures. The shell
and tube heat exchangers are used as efficient, energy-saving compo-
nents in a variety of onshore and offshore applications in the oil and gas,
refining, chemical and petrochemical industries.

Electrostatic Coalescers
Our proprietary electrostatic coalescers are two-phase
separators that utilize an electrostatic field to remove
water and salts from crude oil, allowing cost-effective
transport or downstream processing.
Removal of water and contaminants generally com-
prises two steps: dehydration and desalting. Frames
Coalescers are designed for both steps and are applied
in upstream as well as downstream applications. In oil
fields, the emphasis is generally on a combination of
dehydration and desalting, whereas in refineries the
focus is primarily on desalting.
At Frames we build on our vast experience in coalescer
engineering, enabling us to give our clients a competi-
tive advantage when it comes to cleaning crude oil. By
efficiently and effectively removing undesirable water
and salts, our clients are able to increase the quality
of their crude oil, cut their transport costs and protect
their downstream processes and equipment.
Hydrocyclone Vessel
Produced Water Treatment
Produced water is a term used to describe reservoir water that is sepa-
rated during the oil and gas production process. Oil and gas reservoirs
normally contain amounts of water, oil, solids, condensates and gas. When
the oil and gas is processed, water is separated and pumped back into the
reservoir in order to maintain the right pressure in the well. Alternatively,
the water is discharged to the sea or sewerage. Both methods involve a
set of conditions and strict regulations aimed at preventing well contami-
nation and water pollution.
At Frames we design produced water treatment packages in accordance
with client specifications and project requirements. Following a thorough
analysis of the inlet conditions and outlet requirements, our team of
specialists selects the most suitable combination of technologies and
integrates them into a process package to achieve the required perfor-
mance.
Our produced water treatment packages enable high availability, a large
turndown range and practical operation, as well as easy access to valves,
instruments and pumps. During the design phase, our team pays special
attention to plot space, weight, maintenance and total life cycle costs.

Sustainability
With an increasing focus on environmental protection and sustainable
technologies, the demand for cleaner hydrocarbon recovery is growing
rapidly. We specialize in supplying technologies and products that
eliminate aromatics, clean produced water and reduce environmental
impact. Our compact and highly efficient designs also reduce the use
of natural resources, energy and maintenance.
