WHY FILTRATION IS SO IMPORTANT IN THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY

In many oil and gas operations, filtration is necessary for removing excess materials and unwanted debris to produce pure, high-quality products. Filtering downstream oil and gas applications help remove corrosive materials that often reduce operational efficiency, lower equipment lifespan and contaminate finished products.

In downstream oil and gas operations, like refineries and petrochemical plants, crude oil is processed into finished products, such as jet fuel, diesel, lubricants and gasoline. Reliable filtration is essential in these applications to protect equipment, ensure production efficiency, minimize faults in the process and the potential for downtime. In a recent blog post, Parker lists a few important downstream processes that require filtration, including:

  • Amine sweetening and glycol dehydration
  • Hydrocracking
  • Hydrotreating
  • Final product filtration
Proper design and optimization of filtration systems will directly impact the functionality, reliability and operational costs of downstream oil and gas operations. By utilizing filtration, oil and gas applications can ensure their operations are running at maximum efficiency and they’re delivering high-quality products.
