Proven, Reliable Gas Drying and Purification Solutions for the Oil and Gas Industry
When it comes to supplying solutions for compressed air or gas dehydration and purification to the oil and gas industry, SPX has a wealth of experience and expertise through its Delair and Pneumatic Products brands in providing efficient solutions with necessary specifications and documentation.
The brands offer a full range of dryers, gas separation and treatment packages, nitrogen generators, filters and adsorption technology. Supply is supported by expert engineering capability, in-depth understanding of industry needs and a strong global presence, including throughout the Middle East.
Dryers are important across many oil and gas processes, including the drying of utility compressed air to protect equipment and pipework against corrosion and pollution from water, but also to dry other gases such as hydrogen, off-gas, nitrogen, compressed natural gas (CNG) and inert gases used for purging tanks. SPX has a range of designs that offer flexible setup against internal and regulatory specifications and offers complete, engineered, packaged solutions against specific requirements.
SPX dryers are reliable, well-proven and designed for long life. Solutions are expertly engineered to ensure requirements are met and provide robust operation in harsh environmental conditions. Component parts within the dryers are based on decades of experience and innovative engineering. The Pneumatic Products Heat-Les pressure-swing desiccant dryers, for example, include air-operated Century Series™ poppet valves with stainless steel internals. These specially made switching valves are designed to withstand elevated temperatures, clogging, and erosion caused by abrasive desiccant dust and to work for over 500,000 cycles in the adverse conditions found in oil and gas applications.
SPX dryers also deliver efficient operation with features such as Automated Moisture Load Control (AMLOC®) on the Heat-Les dryer. This energy saving functionality reduces cycle frequency for heating and purge using capacitance probes to assess the state of the drying bed and precisely control when switchover is required. As well as offering significant energy savings, this clever technology extends component life and ensures consistent dew points. Other configurations can base changeover of dryer towers on dewpoint measurement, extending changeover time and reducing energy consumption when the dryer is not running at its maximum.
The innovative drying and purification technology contained within the SPX Delair and Pneumatic Products brands is well-proven and widely used across the global oil and gas industry. The comprehensive range of in-house dryer designs give complete flexibility for dryer setup and SPX offers precisely engineered solutions against all global oil and gas specifications. More than 70 years of experience within the industry means customers can be assured of the right solution for a full range of upstream, downstream and refinery applications, all supported by a detailed understanding of technology and documentation needs for a successful project.
