Airpac Bukom's heat exchangers, which are used to heat the well production, consist of a pressurized shell containing a set of process coils. Steam is piped from an external steam generator into the shell to heat the well effluent flowing through the process coils.
Prior to the well fluids being separated the fluids are heated within the heat exchanger to lower the viscosity before being separated within the test separator and enabling productivity data to be processed. This allows the measurement of well product separately whether it be barrels of oil per day (bbl/day), standard cubic feet of gas per day (scf/day) or barrels of water per day (bbl water/day).
Airpac Bukom's range of portable skid mounted 5,000psig, 10,000psig and 15,000psig heat exchangers for rental are primarily used in conjunction with surface well testing applications worldwide to complete the package of heat transfer during well test operations. All our units are DNV 2.7-1 approved.
