Valerus 500 MBTU Reboiler 36" x 10'

The Valerus 500 MBTU Reboiler is a robust, indirect-fired heating system designed for oil and gas processing applications, such as glycol dehydration, amine treating, and distillation processes. This unit features a horizontal cylindrical shell with a 36-inch diameter and 10-foot length, incorporating a 12-inch fire tube for efficient heat transfer. Manufactured in 2013, it delivers up to 500,000 BTU/hr of heating capacity, making it suitable for mid-sized operations requiring reliable thermal energy to reboil process fluids and remove water or impurities. Key benefits include high thermal efficiency due to its large surface area of 55.4 square feet, durable carbon steel construction for harsh environments, and integrated flame-arrested burner for safety in flammable atmospheres. Compared to similar reboilers from competitors like Sivalls or Exterran, the Valerus model offers superior corrosion resistance and easier maintenance access via its skid-mounted design. Drawbacks may include higher initial weight for transport and the need for periodic fire tube inspections in corrosive services. This used unit shows signs of operational wear but remains functional for refurbishment, providing cost-effective performance in petrochemical and natural gas facilities.
