Once-through steam generators (OTSG) play a critical role in enhanced oil recovery (EOR), where consistent, high-volume steam production is required to support heavy oil extraction. A continuous flow of steam heats the reservoir,…
The customer had issues with two of their Once Through Steam Generators (OTSG). They called ACES to the scene of a large biodiesel production facility. Feedwater and heated air pass through a bank of steel tubes and combine to create high-quality steam….
Oil fields of Canada hold an estimated 169 billion barrels, second only to Saudi Arabia in potential oil production. The challenge lies in extracting the particularly sticky, semi-solid bitumen from the sand. Enhanced Oil Recovery…
THE MYSTERY An ACES Control Systems Investigator was called to the scene of an oil-heating steam generator platform, in a processing plant for natural gas liquids (NGLs). The CSI had been called for routine biennial emissions testing, but he noticed the trend lines...
