KCH Conceptual and Design Studies

KCH offers a full consultancy service for clients who require conceptual and design work for both new and existing systems. The experienced personnel can conduct studies to determine the optimum solution for a separation application using both in house design software and state of the art simulation programs such as Fluid CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics).

KCH Product Range

KCH has a comprehensive range of proprietary separation internals for use in onshore, offshore and FPSO applications including retrofits of existing vessels:

Various Inlet Devices including Licensed Shell Schoepentoeters

Meshpad Demisters / Coalescers
Gas Filter Elements
Liquid / Liquid Plate Packs
Liquid Coalescing Filter Elements

The above are supplied as systems for the following typical applications:

Gas Scrubbers (Gas/Liquid)
Gas Scrubbers (Gas/Solid)
3 Phase Separators (Gas/Oil/Water)
3 Phase Compact Vertical Separators (Gas/Oil/Water)
2 Phase Liquid Separators (Oil/Water)
Flash Drums / Knock Out Drums (Gas/Liquid)
Filter Separators (Gas/Liquid)
Filter Separators (Gas/Solid)

 

A general layout of a separation vessel

KCH can also supply separation technology for various other applications to meet client’s requirements.

The internals can be used for both new build and retrofit applications. The latter is a particular strength of KCH whereby existing vessels can be fitted with high specification internals to maximise performance and allow increased or alternative throughputs without the necessity for a new vessel. This is of particular use where flows and conditions change in a vessel due to changing well properties or new tie-ins. Specific systems have been developed for retrofits to allow the fitting of internals without the need for welding to vessel wall. These include a clamp ring design which has been used successfully in many applications to date.


KCH After Sales Service

KCH has a strong belief that the product should be supported after delivery. KCH can offer the following services:

Installation / Supervision of installation
Supply of spare parts
Studies to determine suitability of equipment for different flow cases
Modification of existing installations to suit new conditions
