Gasco designs, fabricates, commissions and services an extensive range of Process Skids for Gas Conditioning and Oil Treatment including: Emergency shut down systems Filter coalescers Custody transfer metering with analysers Hot water heater/HX gas heating Water bath heaters API 12K Pressure reduction stations (a Gasco specialty) Black start heaters (electric/steam/hot water) Waste heat recovery for gas heating Total gas conditioning systems for power

Water Bath Heaters are Indirect Fired Type Heaters usually designed to API 12K, these devices are traditionally used to heat natural gas and oil. The main application for Indirect Fired Water Bath Heaters is to heat high pressure gas prior to pressure reduction. A water bath heater works by submersing a process coil into a heated bath solution, which then indirectly heats the process liquids and gasses to create energy. For gas well heads and pipelines, a large reduction in pressure will cause a significant drop in temperature of the gas. This is known as the Joule-Thompson effect, with a loss of temperature of approximately 5°C for each 1000kPa reduction in pressure.

Gasco supplies Fired Heaters to API 560 and ISO 13705 and proprietary Gasco forced draft convective designs. A typical API 560 Fired Heater would consist of a: Radiant Section Convective Section Stack Burners Fuel Skid Control System Gasco, being both a combustion and heat transfer company, is uniquely placed to achieve the best possible outcomes with respect to high thermal efficiencies, low emission, reliable operation and state-of-the-art Burner Management Systems (BMS) to NFPA, IEC and other codes. Gasco can supply cylindrical or box cabin type direct fired heaters, equipped with low NOx natural draft or forced draft burners. To increase efficiency, preheating of combustion air can be achieved by adding a variety of air preheater exchangers. With the demand for ever increasing safety and reliability levels Gasco can design and supply BMS to IEC 61508 Programmable Electronic Safety Systems. We can also provide a basic hard wired system up to SIL 3. Gasco convective heaters rely on forced convection heating only, are compact and can achieve thermal efficiency of 90per cent using convective heat transfer.
