Permian Tank 6x20 Vertical Heater Treater F34577

The Permian Tank 6x20 Vertical Heater Treater is a robust pressure vessel designed for separating water, gas, and emulsions from crude oil in upstream oil and gas operations. Manufactured in 2014 by Permian Tank & Manufacturing in Odessa, Texas, this unit features a vertical configuration with a 6-foot diameter and 20-foot height, ideal for efficient gravity separation and heating processes. Key applications include oilfield production sites where it heats emulsions to break down water-oil mixtures, allowing for cleaner oil output and reduced waste. Benefits include high durability in harsh environments, low maintenance due to carbon steel construction, and effective handling of low-pressure operations up to 75 psi. Compared to horizontal treaters, this vertical model offers a smaller footprint, making it suitable for space-constrained installations, though it may require more height clearance. Drawbacks include potential higher initial setup costs for vertical mounting and the need for periodic inspection of the fire tube and internals. This specific unit is in unused surplus condition, with visible internal piping and a burner assembly included, providing excellent value for buyers seeking reliable, ready-to-deploy equipment. Additional details from images show no significant wear, a 20-inch hatch for access, and serial number F34577.
