Gas Fired Water Heater System Engineering Support

A process vessel fabricator in Southwestern Asia contracted Process Engineering International, LLC (PROCESS) to provide additional process design information for a pair of gas fired water heating vessels. The heaters were ultimately expected to be installed in oil fields. The client was in need of a simple Piping and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) and an equipment and instrumentation list so that a skid-mounted package unit could be developed for the two vessels.

PROCESS developed a P&ID and generated the corresponding equipment list, piping list, instrument list, valve list, and safety valve list for the client. The design generated allowed the two fired heaters to be operated individually, using one as a backup, or in series to ensure that adequate heating occurs during cold ambient conditions.
