-
(1) Oil and Gas Extraction
Production Process Production Process: Oil and gas extraction involves exploration, drilling, and production. During extraction, crude oil often needs to be heated to reduce its viscosity for easier transportation, while natural gas requires cooling and separation to remove impurities and ensure stability.
Role of Plate Heat Exchangers: Plate heat exchangers are used to heat crude oil, cool natural gas, and facilitate gas-liquid separation. They improve energy efficiency, reduce equipment wear, and ensure smooth operation in harsh environments. -
(2) Oil and Gas Processing
Production Process: Oil and gas processing includes crude oil distillation, catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, and hydrotreating. These processes operate under high temperatures and pressures and involve complex heat exchange requirements.
Role of Plate Heat Exchangers: In crude oil distillation, plate heat exchangers preheat the feedstock. In catalytic cracking, they regulate reaction temperatures. In hydrocracking and hydrotreating, they recover heat from exothermic reactions to preheat incoming streams, enhancing overall process efficiency. -
(3) Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Cooling and Liquefaction
In the LNG production process, natural gas needs to be cooled to -162°C (or lower) to achieve liquefaction. As a core equipment, the Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger (PCHE) plays a crucial role due to its high-efficiency heat exchange performance, enabling rapid cooling of natural gas to the required low temperatures. According to application data, the overall heat transfer efficiency of PCHE can reach 95.4%. Compared to traditional shell-and-tube heat exchangers, PCHE offers superior advantages in terms of volume, surface area, and mass for the same heat exchange area.
During LNG production, a significant amount of heat is released. PCHE can recover this heat for preheating feed gas or other processes, thereby significantly improving energy efficiency and maximizing heat recovery potential. -
(4) Natural Gas Purification
Cooling and Heating: In the natural gas purification process, cooling or heating may be required to remove moisture and impurities from the gas. PCHE provides efficient heat exchange, ensuring the gas is treated at the appropriate temperature.
Condensate Recovery: The condensate generated during the purification process can be recovered and reused through PCHE, reducing waste liquid discharge and lowering costs.
Role of Plate Heat Exchangers: Plate heat exchangers are used in pre-cooling and liquefaction stages to facilitate efficient heat transfer. They ensure the stability and efficiency of the liquefaction process, reducing energy consumption. -
(5) Oil and Gas Transportation
Production Process: Oil and gas transportation includes pipeline and marine shipping. During transportation, crude oil and natural gas may need to be heated or cooled to maintain their flowability and stability.
Role of Plate Heat Exchangers: Plate heat exchangers are used in pipelines and vessels to heat crude oil or cool natural gas. They ensure safe and efficient transportation by maintaining optimal temperatures. -
(6) Oil and Gas Storage
Production Process: Oil and gas storage involves maintaining crude oil in storage tanks and liquefied natural gas (LNG) in cryogenic tanks. Temperature control is critical to prevent evaporation or freezing.
Role of Plate Heat Exchangers: Plate heat exchangers are used to heat crude oil or cool LNG in storage tanks. They ensure the stability and safety of stored products, minimizing losses and maintaining quality. -
(7) Byproduct Processing
Production Process: Byproduct processing includes sulfur recovery, wastewater treatment, and other environmental management processes. These processes often involve high-temperature reactions and heat recovery.
Role of Plate Heat Exchangers: In sulfur recovery, plate heat exchangers facilitate heat exchange in the Claus process. In wastewater treatment, they regulate temperatures to optimize treatment efficiency. They play a vital role in reducing environmental impact and improving resource utilization.
