    The document discusses a vertical emulsion treater system that can perform heating, degassing, and dehydration of crude oil in one efficient system. The system separates incoming wellstream into gas and liquid, removing water and producing treated oil. Standard and optional features are described to optimize operating costs and hydrocarbon recovery.

    Vertical Emulsion Treater

    Heating, degassing and dehydration in one efficient system


    A crude oil dehydration system may
    require one or more of numerous
    processes: preheating, degassing, free
    water removal, and heating.

    NATCO Vertical Emulsion Treaters are


    designed to use any combination of these
    functions. In addition, special features and
    options can extend a treater’s versatility
    and enhance its efficiency.

    Vertical treaters are primarily applicable to


    low volume flows with high water
    content.

    A number of features contribute to the


    system’s notable operating economy, and
    optimum recovery of condensable, salable
    hydrocarbons. These features include:
    NATCO Vertical Emulsion Treaters are designed and built for any climatic or atmospheric conditions
    • A reversible firetube which provides
    long life and the proper heat for
    controlled separation Working pressures
    • Heat-retention baffling Standard systems perform from
    • A condensing head which minimizes atmospheric pressure to 50 psi; special
    vapor loss of hydrocarbons systems to 100+ psi.
    • Corrosion-resistant adjustable fiberglass

    fuel costs
    Continuous-flow separation An external heat exchanger preheats inlet
