CASE STUDY

Oil Processing – Long Term
Location
South Timbalier 130
Published on
July 2017 – August 2018

Challenge

The customer wanted to bring on two more pipelines at the ST-130 facility but their production system could not handle the volumes. CFAST ES was contacted to provide our Oil Dehydration Centrifuge package along with their highly-qualified personnel to assist in bringing these pipelines online. In doing this CFAST ES was able to send pipeline quality oil, less than 1% BS&W, straight to the customer’s tanks.

Action

CFAST ES worked internally to provide all pre-job documentation such as P&ID’s, deck layout drawings, area classification drawings, safety drawings, and electrical drawings all according to 14C compliance and BSEE approval.

CFAST ES tied directly into the customer’s LP separator with high pressure piping and through a choke into their CFAST system.

Since this was a long-term project the CFAST system was hard piped in and completely automated for ease of operation. Our CIP (clean in place) method was used to maintain the centrifugal separation equipment’s efficiency.

CFAST ES also provided two highly qualified personnel to operate and monitor the system around the clock, should anything go wrong, they were there to fix it.
