1. Liquid Drainers for the Upstream, Mid-Stream, Down-Stream HPI

2. New Opportunities
The global shale gas boom has opened the door for numerous opportunities for Liquid Drain Trap product solutions.
The nature of this sour gas from the wells demands specific metallurgy and design requirements.
Product modification to meet these stringent requirements bring large sales opportunities to the oil and gas industries.

3. Where Do We Look? LNG Processing Plants/Terminals
Refineries/ Chemical Plants
Pipeline Compressor Stations
Drilling Rig Construction

4. New Opportunities - Up Stream
Drilling Platforms/ Production Sites
Many compressors exist within the required equipment on a platform. Gas compression always facilitates the need for drainers regardless of the gas.
Many production sites maintain a set of separation tanks and this application is suited for automatic drains, instead of manual pumping required from vacuum trucks

5. New Opportunities - Mid Stream
Pipeline compressor stations also offer large, high pressure, liquid drainer opportunities.
This is required any time they compress the gas volume to increase the amount they can introduce into the pipeline.

6. Terminals, Refineries, Chemicals – Down Stream
Air and gas systems, require liquid removal, for protection of gas flows, and equipment. Any time you compress a gas you will get liquid fall out.
Gas compressors - hydrocarbon liquids
Thermal compressors - hydrocarbon liquids
Typically HLS series - for HP light gravity liquids

7. Terminals, Refineries, Chemicals
Liquid Separation
Different liquids often need separation from a common process stream, and numerous processes are utilized to achieve this.
Dual Gravity Drainers inherently separate a heavier liquid from a lighter one. [like water from oil] commonly needed in tank farm storage, and large oil compressors.

8. Liquid Drainer Application Comparison
