Petroleum Emulsification Tank
In our ongoing commitment to delivering top-tier metal fabrication solutions for industrial applications, we are excited to showcase our latest project: a custom-fabricated emulsification tank designed specifically for the petroleum industry. This project exemplifies our expertise in precision engineering, advanced materials, and adherence to stringent industry standards.
A petroleum emulsification plant is a facility designed to blend petroleum products with water or other liquids to form emulsions. These emulsions are used in various industrial processes, such as improving the efficiency of oil recovery, enhancing the quality of crude oil, and facilitating the transportation and processing of heavy oils.

Engineering Excellence
Material Selection: The tank was constructed using 316L stainless steel alloy, known for its corrosion resistance in acidic environments. This material ensures the tank's longevity and reliability.
Design and Fabrication: Our team designed and fabricated the tank to meet the specific requirements of the emulsification process. The internal heat exchanger enhances the tank’s functionality and efficiency.
Quality Assurance: We conducted rigorous testing to guarantee the tank's performance and safety, adhering to API standards. Both pneumatic and hydrostatic pressure tests validated the tank's structural integrity and pressure-holding capabilities.
Testing and Validation
Pneumatic Testing: Pneumatic tests checked for leaks and ensured the tank could maintain its rated pressure of 150 psi.
Hydrostatic Testing: Hydrostatic testing confirmed the tank's strength and durability by filling it with water and pressurizing it beyond its normal operating levels.
API Standards Compliance: We adhered to the American Petroleum Institute (API) standards throughout the fabrication and testing phases, ensuring the emulsification tank meets the highest industry benchmarks for safety, performance, and quality.
