United Process Systems 1.5 MM BTU Line Heater LH4432

The United Process Systems 1.5 MM BTU Line Heater is an indirect fired heater designed for heating natural gas or oil well streams to prevent hydrate formation, reduce viscosity, and improve flow in pipelines. This unit features a cylindrical shell with internal multi-pass coil system, including 5 passes of 4.5-inch x 1.125-inch tubing and 4 passes of 4.5-inch OD x 0.337-inch wall thickness tubing, rated for high-pressure applications up to 15,000 psi. It incorporates a Flameco flame-arrested burner for safe and efficient combustion, delivering up to 1.5 million BTU per hour. Commonly used in oil and gas production, midstream processing, and wellhead operations, it offers reliable performance in harsh environments. Benefits include efficient heat transfer, corrosion-resistant construction, and modular design for easy integration. Drawbacks may include high initial cost and maintenance needs for the burner and coils due to potential scaling or corrosion, as seen in the internal rust. Compared to similar products from manufacturers like Exterran or Cimarron, this UPS model provides superior pressure handling and customizable coil configurations, making it ideal for high-pressure gas lines. The unit appears used with visible wear, but structural integrity seems intact based on images.
