Custody Transfer - Jet Fuel
Product custody transfer involves a number of processes, all of which are intended to meet transfer specifications in terms of water, particulate and metals. Failure to meet specifications can result in rejection of product and often lost premiums having a direct impact on the operating profitability of the refinery.
- Clay Treating - ProcessOR vessel with our clay treating element
- Reduce Water Contamination of Product Tanks – Water is a root cause for the formation of biological growth and color bodies.
- Reduce Particulate Contamination of Product Streams – COMPAX® coreless systems are designed to reduce filtration costs by 20 – 70% compared to conventional cored filters.
- Reduce Salt Bed Consumption – Salt beds are designed to reduce moisture levels to below saturation levels. When a salt bed is challenged with free, dispersed or emulsified water, its consumption increases excessively.
- Eliminate Salt carryover – Salt Carryover occurs due to excessive water loads that create channels within the salt bed.
- Protect NIR and Blending Unit Sensors – These sensors are affected by water carryover and caustic in the hydrocarbon streams.

LiquiSep technology has been implemented specifically to help separate emulsions that are not separable by conventional coalescers. Conventional coalescers are unable to provide the degree clarity associated with LiquiSep technology due to the inability to capture and remove the most penetrating droplets that cause carry-over. LiquiSep can separate these dispersed and emulsified droplets from the hydrocarbon to practically non-detectable levels.
The ProcessOR is a superior separator vessel often used for particle/liquid filtration or separation. It is available to be delivered as a self-contained skid (pictured) or a stand-alone vessel. It is also available custom sized as a capital sale or as a turn-key rental, which is often available within days of the received order.
IntelliSep is a dependable, robust and flexible filter aid media cartridge. It absorbs contaminants utilizing various filter aids; from clay for jet fuel, Magnesol for bio-diesel, activated carbon for solvents and many more.
The Apex element is specifically intended to keep annular velocities constant across the entire height of the element. This is accomplished by introducing a gentle taper in the element, so that the annular space on the outside of the element gradually increased from the bottom to top, keeping pace with the external fluid flow as it exited the element.
Compared to conventional cartridge filters, COMPAX saves you money by lowering operating costs and reducing disposal costs. When comparing filters with the same efficiencies or Beta ratings, nothing outperforms the cost/performance value achieved with COMPAX.
