Valves, Actuators & Pump Control
Solutions for the oil and gas industry.
The oil and gas industry demands process and safety technology of the highest standard from its equipment suppliers. Productivity, quality and production safety are among the factors that determine success. Prominent Fluid Controls says it measures its work against these factors and works with innovative products to deliver industry-specific solutions that achieve more efficiency and safety for its customers.
With its process metering pumps, ProMinent says it can provide support from the outset, adapting to difficult application conditions with complete application-orientated solutions which cover all of the process steps: from metering through control technology to the storage of inhibitors, drag reducers, additives, and other chemicals. ProMinent provides tailor-made solutions for all dosing applications in the oil and gas industry all from a single source. This means that interface problems are kept to a minimum, to save money and time and ensure the greatest possible availability.
Oil industry:
* Wells – dosing of various chemicals/MF, MH pumps.
* Platforms – dosing of inhibitors, methanol and additives/MF, MH pumps.
* Transportation – dosing of inhibitors, drag reducers, etc./all pump types.
* Refineries – dosing of inhibitors, additives, catalysts, colourants, etc./all pump types.
* Petrochemicals – dosing of various chemicals for support and initiation of chemical and physical processes/all pump types.
Gas industry:
* Wells – dosing of various chemicals.
* Gas treatment/drying – dosing of inhibitors, methanol and glycol.
* Transportation – dosing of inhibitors, methanol etc. in gas pipelines and removal of residue from LPG tankers.
* Gas storage tanks (mainly underground) – dosing of methanol, glycol, acids and other chemicals.
