With our home market of Houston, Texas being the hub for the majority of the oil and gas industry, we have been asked to design several specialized projects. The latest venture overseas was with M-I SWACO, a Schlumberger Company. With locations in more than 75 countries around the world, M-I SWACO is a vital part of the world's hydrocarbon exploration and production industry.
M-I SWACO recently procured 24 Weishaupt burners from an OEM product produced by M-I SWACO for the oil field. This product is used in the processing of oil and requires heat produced by the Weishaupt burners. These OEM products are being shipped to the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. The client requested the best burner on the market because reliability is a key factor in their product. With the constant volatility in energy prices, each day of production is critical and any down time results in major financial losses per day. Each unit requires 14 MBTU to process the petroleum adequately. This is achieved by installing 12 burners on each combustion chamber. This unique system has been in design for over two years.
GOES sales representative Calvin Timmons has been working diligently with M-I SWACO management along with Weishaupt engineers in Germany over the past 2 years to perfect this design. We have developed a central control system to allow all 12 burners to fire into a single combustion chamber based on temperatures and other factors.
GOES Heating Systems has the ability to handle several different unique burner applications through Weishaupt as well as any hot water or steam boiler retrofit, typically saving the end user 15-30% in fuel consumption.
