Boiler Solutions for Petroleum & Refineries

Oil & Gas Industry

Cleaver-Brooks designs and manufactures custom and shop-assembled modular solutions to meet the large steam-capacity and high-pressure needs of the oil and gas industry.



What Type of Boilers are Used in the Petroleum Industry?iStock-487829113_small

Boilers are an essential component of operations in the oil and gas industry. They generate hot water and steam for drilling operations and are used in the refining process to heat crude oil and separate it into its various components.

Industrial watertube boilers (IWT) are engineered to handle the demands of the petroleum industry. Cleaver-Brooks manufactures the widest range of industrial watertube boilers (10,000 to 1,000,000 lb/hr), available in D-, A- and O-style configurations.

Both single- and dual-stage integral convective superheaters are available and can accommodate selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and CO catalyst.

Forced-Circulation Steam Generation for SAGD

Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage, known as SAGD, is considered the most viable and environmentally safe recovery technology for extracting heavy oil and bitumen. Utilized for more than a decade, the process uses an advanced form of steam stimulation to extract oil from a pair of horizontal wells drilled into a reservoir.
