Crude Oil Vacuum Distillation Crude oil is processed to produce gasoline and other hydrocarbon fuels via atmospheric and or vacuum distillation in refineries. This application involves applying a vacuum to a crude oil distillation column. The combination of heat

Solvent Dewaxing Filtering or dewaxing is the process of recovering waxy compounds from production of hydrocarbon based oils. By removing waxy compounds from oils, it improves its quality and desirability. Liquid ring vacuum pumps are pulling vacuum on continuously

Flare Gas Recovery Flare gas, vent gas, tail gas or off gas recovery is the capturing of waste gases during the refining process. No longer is it acceptable to simply dispose of these gases by flaring.   NASH liquid

Vapor Recovery Gas Boosting This application differs from vent gas recovery in that the vapors recovered are of a relatively fixed composition rather than a variable mixture. A typical application is capturing gases vented from storage tanks. The vacuum

Field Gas Boosting Field gas boosting is the process of boosting low pressure gas from the wellhead to a high pressure pipeline. The wellhead gas pressure, below atmospheric pressure or at a relatively low positive pressure, will require a

Fuel Gas Boosting This application involves the utilization of a booster compressor to provide natural gas to a natural gas engine that may be utilized in the gas recovery or compression process.

Enhanced Oil Recovery Enhanced oil recovery is an upstream process, which includes pulling a vacuum on an oil well to relieve pressure on the well. This allows the oil to flow more freely, increasing oil production. This application may

Coal Bed Methane Gas Recovery This application is found in coalmines where two forms of gas may be produced. One gas is from microorganisms feeding off the coal, and the other gas is from gas deposits in the mines.
