The principles behind SIVAM Surface
Heaters are very simple.
An electric heater must be
suitable to withstand
hydrocarbon pressure conditions,
provide the calories to increase
the temperature, with the
required flow rates. In addition
its trim has to be suitable for the
physical properties of the fluid,
to work safely and with adequate
reliability.
Heavy crude oil transportation in the oil industry can present operational
problems in a well production system, mainly due to the dramatic
increase of viscosity consequence of the temperature decrease from the
reservoir to the surface, and along the surface flow-line.
The system uses electrical resistances fed by an external source of electricity to heat the surface oil.
The crude oil passing through the pipecoil will increase its temperature up to 20°-30° C from the inlet
temperature.
The pressure rating of the unit can be customized according to customer’s request, up to 5000 PSI.
Application
Hot-oil Application:
Beside the usual application
for a better flow of oil in the surface,
our units are also used for what is called
Hot oiling:
Heating up the oil produced at the surface
and then re-injecting part of it into the
well to increase downhole oil
temperature,
Thus elimanting asphaltene, wax,
hydrates and scaling.
By installing a standard capillary string
connected to the outlet part of the unit,
that will go right into the completion,
avoiding the needs of Heating cables and
cable injectiors.
Reducing costs and space requirement on
the wellhead.
This is a picture of our First Installation in
italy, year 2009.
Now after years of experience and
development, our Heaters are easier to
control, easier to install, and much more
performant.
From the beginning…
SIVAM heaters are designed and manufactured
in accordance with ISO 9001 process, CE
certified and designed to meet customers needs.
SIVAM is located in a single manufacturing plant
that performs efficient communication,
execution, quick time to market, that allows to
build the heaters with safety and reliability.
Now our Standard Units have a range of Power
capacity from 55 kw to 365 kw
Our systems can be
supplied for Class I,
Division 2 or ATEX Zone 1
locations.
