Oil & Gas Heat Transfer Solutions
Process Heat Exchanger for Oil & Gas Service
LINSON OIL supplies project-specific process heat exchangers for heating, cooling and heat-recovery duties in oil and gas production, gathering, treatment and gas-processing systems. Thermal and mechanical selection is developed from the hot- and cold-side process data, P&ID, Data Sheet, Technical Specification and actual site conditions.
- Application
- Heating, cooling and thermal recovery duties
- Basis
- Process data and project specification review
- Supply Scope
- Equipment, package integration and project support
Process Duty Review
Start with the duty.
Then define the heat-transfer solution.
In oil and gas service, a process heat exchanger may be used where one process or utility stream must heat, cool or recover heat from another stream. The actual duty and exchanger configuration are confirmed from the project process basis.
Process Heating
Support project-defined heating duties for crude oil, condensate, gas, produced-water or other applicable process streams.
Process Cooling
Review cooling requirements for gas, liquid, condensate and utility streams.
Heat Recovery
Evaluate heat-recovery duties where thermal energy from one process stream is intentionally transferred to another stream.
Package Integration
Coordinate heat-transfer scope with vessels, pumps, piping, valves, instruments and controls.
Heat Transfer Logic
Two stream conditions define the thermal duty.
The hot side and cold side are reviewed together: flow rate, composition, inlet and target outlet temperatures, pressure, phase behavior, fouling tendency and allowable pressure drop. These inputs establish the thermal basis before mechanical configuration is finalized.
-
01
Define Both Streams
Confirm the hot-side and cold-side media, compositions, phases and operating cases.
-
02
Set Temperature Duty
Clarify inlet conditions and required outlet temperatures for the design cases.
-
03
Review Pressure & Fluids
Evaluate operating/design pressure, corrosion, fouling, solids and allowable pressure drop.
-
04
Finalize Interfaces
Confirm connections, layout, maintenance access, instruments, insulation and package boundary.
Configuration & Supply Boundary
Configuration follows the thermal duty and project interface.
Thermal Process Interface
Review stream conditions, temperature approach, operating variability, fouling and utility availability.
Mechanical & Layout Interface
Consider plot space, lifting access, transport limits, maintenance clearance and piping loads.
Materials & Corrosion Review
Assess fluid composition, produced water, salinity, solids, H2S, CO2 and erosion risks.
Controls & Package Scope
Define instrumentation, control logic, alarms, electrical interfaces, valves and skid integration.
Project-defined supply scope
- Thermal equipment and connected piping
- Valves, instruments and control interfaces
- Skid structure and access provisions
- Documentation, inspection and FAT support
