Crude Oil Plants & Stabilisation

The stabilisation process is a partial distillation which sweetens “sour” crude oil (removes the hydrogen sulfide) and/or reduces vapour pressure. As a result, it makes the crude oil safe for shipment in tankers.

The flow configuration may include H.P., M.P. and L.P. Separators, Desalters, Preheat Exchangers and Stabiliser Columns. This is before the crude oil is sufficiently stable for shipment.

All sections can have decontamination with CORE formulations, using either a washing technique or Vapour Phase de-gassing. This is depending on the level of fouling prior. In some cases, a combination of these two techniques will remove deposits, while simultaneously de-gassing, and removing Benzene from the entire process, saving valuable preparation time for a later entry.

Where ‘design’ temperature restrictions apply, you can use Core Clean low-temperature products. This is to successfully wash Separators, for example, at ambient temperature.

Dealing with the decontamination effluent is by CORE Mobile Wastewater Treatment System and safely directed to sewer, significantly minimizing disposal costs.
