Valerus 500M Reboiler 36in x 10ft

The Valerus 500M Reboiler is a robust indirect fired heater designed for oil and gas processing applications, particularly in glycol dehydration systems to regenerate glycol by heating it to remove water. This unit features a 36-inch diameter by 10-foot long horizontal vessel, equipped with a 12-inch fire tube and a Flameco SB18-12 flame-arrested burner rated at 500,000 BTU/hr. Manufactured in 2015, it offers efficient heat transfer with a surface area of 64.50 square feet, making it suitable for midstream operations requiring reliable temperature control and moisture removal. Benefits include high thermal efficiency, compact skid-mounted design for easy installation, and durability in harsh environments. Drawbacks may include the need for regular maintenance due to potential corrosion, as evidenced by rust in the images, and fuel consumption for the burner. Compared to similar reboilers from competitors like Sivalls or Exterran, the Valerus model provides superior flux rate and is optimized for lower pressure applications up to 125 PSI. The unit appears used with visible rust and wear, but structural integrity seems intact based on photos. No parent/child assets are visible beyond the integrated burner and instrumentation.
