16. Metrol Sea-Screen® Coarse Strainers - The unique
Metrol Sea-Screen design incorporates automatic
backwashing without interruption of the service flow. A single-
layer cylindrical screen manufactured to very high standards,
together with a backwash collection system that ensures
effective cleaning of the entire filtration area, provides reliable
service regardless of any variations in the quality of the raw
water supply. A range of screen sizes combined with the
ability to mount several screens within a single vessel gives
the best available design flexibility.
17. Metrol Sea-Cell® Electrochlorinators - The Metrol Sea-
Cell electrochlorinator generates sodium hypochlorite solution
in situ by electrolysis of sea water. Metrol's advanced design
incorporates efficient operational control and careful selection
of materials. The equipment designs pay particular attention
to the safe disposal of hydrogen produced during the chlorite
generation process. Sea-Cell chlorinator cells are available in
capacities up to 5 kg/h per cell with higher package outputs
possible by operating cells in parallel.
18. Metrol® Auto-Felt™ Fine Filters
Auto-Felt® Fine Filters are designed to provide highly efficient
particle removal from water under a variety of conditions.
Using a polyester needle felt filtration sock with effective
filtration size down to 2 microns. These filter units are
remarkable for their low weight, minimal maintenance
requirements and particle removal capabilities. The unit
comes with a backflushing capability, which can operate in
either automatic or manual mode.
19. Metrol Dual Media Fine Filters
Provide highly efficient particle removal at high filtration flux rates.
Offline cleaning of these filters involves backwashing with air and
water. Metrol also has an automatic backwashing fine filter design
available which offers major benefits over the dual media design in
terms of weight, space, and suitability for use on floating
installations. This design uses a felt filtration sock in conjunction
with Metrol's proven Sea-Screen backwashing system to achieve
filtration performance close to that of the dual media filter with
substantial weight savings.
20. Metrol Polishing Filters
Where the tolerance of the reservoir to the particle size of
solids is very low, it may be appropriate to polish the treated
water prior to its injection. Proprietary cartridges providing
absolute filtration performance are used for this purpose.
21. Metrol Chemical Dosing Systems
Chemicals such as biocides, antifoaming agents,
polyelectroloytes, coagulants, scale and corrosion inhibitors
may be injected into the sea water during the treatment
process. These are usually stored and dosed from a centrally
located package comprising multi-compartment storage and/or
dilution tanks, as well as a set of dosing pumps. Tank sizes
would be governed by anticipated usage and delivery intervals.
22. Petreco® Silectric™ Dehydrators/ Desalters - The Petreco
Electrostatic Dehydrator is used to separate water from
produced crude oil for onshore and offshore applications. Oil
and water are separated in pressure vessels utilizing
electrostatic fields and unique emulsion distribution systems.
Petreco Electrostatic Dehydrators and Electrostatic Desalters
are available skid mounted with instrumentation and controls
for easy installation and start-up. Petreco has significant
experience in heavy crude oil applications of 9° to 12° API.
23. Petreco® Bilectric® Dehydrators/ Desalters
Used to separate water from produced crude oil for onshore
and offshore applications. Oil and water are separated in
pressure vessels utilizing electrostatic fields and unique
emulsion distribution systems. Petreco Electrostatic
Dehydrators and Electrostatic Desalters are available skid

static device with no moving parts, hence operation is simple
and maintenance is minimal. Advantages of this system are
that erosion and corrosion is reduced downstream, downtime
for maintenance is reduced, and wells can be co-produced
(sand production is not the limiting factor on the production
rate). The “Cyclowash” system integral to the cyclone will
clean removed solids prior to discharge.
25. Petreco® Hydromation® Deep Bed Nut Shell Filters
A down flow, deep bed, walnut shell media filter designed for
produced water filtration. Oil and/or solids are efficiently
entrained in the bed and easily backwashed out of the media

incoming free oil loads down to less than 50 ppm. Again, this
device is simple as there are no moving parts with the added
advantage of a more compact unit and separation occurs in
seconds rather than minutes.
26. BFCC Copper-Chlorine Biofouling Control Systems
The BFCC Copper-Chlorine System uses the application of
direct current electrolysis to produce copper and chlorine at
low concentrations. These then act synergistically to
effectively prevent biofouling in a variety of water systems.
The low concentrations mean less chlorine entering the
environment, and this means a significantly lower impact. The
system is contained in a small equipment package and there is
no requirement for hydrogen disengagement.

 Petreco Products Overview
Petreco offers a complete line of products for medium to
large comprehensive oil and gas production facilities. Our
equipment is installed in some of the largest and most
diverse production regions in the world. We have
developed a reputation for providing products of superior
quality and state-of-the-art design. This is a basic
overview of our product line.
1. Petreco® 3-Phase Separators
The separation of produced well streams of oil, gas, and water
into separate phases can be achieved with specialized vertical
and horizontal vessels, sized according to process
requirements. These may take the form of primary 2 or 3-
Phase Separators, which split the produced well fluid into oil,
water, and gas phases, or more specialized oil treatment
equipment.
2. Petreco® Free Water Knock Outs
Free Water Knock Outs remove bulk "free" water from the
crude oil. Our FWKOs use state-of-the-art designs and
superior components combined with our engineering
knowledge and expertise to provide you with the most efficient
and cost-effective equipment available. Our crude oil experts
design horizontal FWKOs to efficiently separate large volumes
of water from oil. This greatly reduces the load on downstream
treating equipment, thus permitting it to still perform. They are
capable of handling large volumes of produced gas, inlet fluid
surges, and sand / sediments that might also be carried in the
crude oil-water stream. Direct fired furnaces can also be
added to improve the separation of free water from tightly
emulsified oils. These units are based on time-tested proven
technology and are economical to install, operate, and
maintain.
3. Petreco® Heater-Treater Systems
Heater-Treaters remove greater amounts of water to make
pipeline spec oil. Large oil volumes are effectively treated in
horizontal vessels that have a heated firetube section followed
by a quiescent section, utilizing coalescing media or an
electrostatic field to separate the water from the crude oil. The
basic premise of Heater-Treater design is to optimize gravity
separation of immiscible water by Stokes Law. This is done
first by heating the crude in order to increase the gravity
differential, and to reduce the viscosity. Then, mechanical (or
electrical) coalescence is used to coalesce small water
particles into larger droplets, which separate readily from the
crude oil.

16. Metrol Sea-Screen® Coarse Strainers - The unique
Metrol Sea-Screen design incorporates automatic
backwashing without interruption of the service flow. A single-
layer cylindrical screen manufactured to very high standards,
together with a backwash collection system that ensures
effective cleaning of the entire filtration area, provides reliable
service regardless of any variations in the quality of the raw
water supply. A range of screen sizes combined with the
ability to mount several screens within a single vessel gives
the best available design flexibility.
17. Metrol Sea-Cell® Electrochlorinators - The Metrol Sea-
Cell electrochlorinator generates sodium hypochlorite solution
in situ by electrolysis of sea water. Metrol's advanced design
incorporates efficient operational control and careful selection
of materials. The equipment designs pay particular attention
to the safe disposal of hydrogen produced during the chlorite
generation process. Sea-Cell chlorinator cells are available in
capacities up to 5 kg/h per cell with higher package outputs
possible by operating cells in parallel.
18. Metrol® Auto-Felt™ Fine Filters
Auto-Felt® Fine Filters are designed to provide highly efficient
particle removal from water under a variety of conditions.
Using a polyester needle felt filtration sock with effective
filtration size down to 2 microns. These filter units are
remarkable for their low weight, minimal maintenance
requirements and particle removal capabilities. The unit
comes with a backflushing capability, which can operate in
either automatic or manual mode.
19. Metrol Dual Media Fine Filters
Provide highly efficient particle removal at high filtration flux rates.
Offline cleaning of these filters involves backwashing with air and
water. Metrol also has an automatic backwashing fine filter design
available which offers major benefits over the dual media design in
terms of weight, space, and suitability for use on floating
installations. This design uses a felt filtration sock in conjunction
with Metrol's proven Sea-Screen backwashing system to achieve
filtration performance close to that of the dual media filter with
substantial weight savings.
20. Metrol Polishing Filters
Where the tolerance of the reservoir to the particle size of
solids is very low, it may be appropriate to polish the treated
water prior to its injection. Proprietary cartridges providing
absolute filtration performance are used for this purpose.
21. Metrol Chemical Dosing Systems
Chemicals such as biocides, antifoaming agents,
polyelectroloytes, coagulants, scale and corrosion inhibitors
may be injected into the sea water during the treatment
process. These are usually stored and dosed from a centrally
located package comprising multi-compartment storage and/or
dilution tanks, as well as a set of dosing pumps. Tank sizes
would be governed by anticipated usage and delivery intervals.
22. Petreco® Silectric™ Dehydrators/ Desalters - The Petreco
Electrostatic Dehydrator is used to separate water from
produced crude oil for onshore and offshore applications. Oil
and water are separated in pressure vessels utilizing
electrostatic fields and unique emulsion distribution systems.
Petreco Electrostatic Dehydrators and Electrostatic Desalters
are available skid mounted with instrumentation and controls
for easy installation and start-up. Petreco has significant
experience in heavy crude oil applications of 9° to 12° API.
23. Petreco® Bilectric® Dehydrators/ Desalters
Used to separate water from produced crude oil for onshore
and offshore applications. Oil and water are separated in
pressure vessels utilizing electrostatic fields and unique
emulsion distribution systems. Petreco Electrostatic
Dehydrators and Electrostatic Desalters are available skid
mounted with instrumentation and controls for easy installation
and start-up. Petreco has significant experience in heavy
crude oil applications of 9° to 12° API.
24. Petreco® Metercell™ Electrostatic Precipitators

and maintenance is minimal. Advantages of this system are
that erosion and corrosion is reduced downstream, downtime
for maintenance is reduced, and wells can be co-produced
(sand production is not the limiting factor on the production
rate). The “Cyclowash” system integral to the cyclone will
clean removed solids prior to discharge.
25. Petreco® Hydromation® Deep Bed Nut Shell Filters
A down flow, deep bed, walnut shell media filter designed for
produced water filtration. Oil and/or solids are efficiently
entrained in the bed and easily backwashed out of the media
bed with the patented, rotating media scrubbing assembly.

being the driver. The Vortoil hydrocyclone can process
incoming free oil loads down to less than 50 ppm. Again, this
device is simple as there are no moving parts with the added
advantage of a more compact unit and separation occurs in
seconds rather than minutes.
26. BFCC Copper-Chlorine Biofouling Control Systems
The BFCC Copper-Chlorine System uses the application of
direct current electrolysis to produce copper and chlorine at
low concentrations. These then act synergistically to
effectively prevent biofouling in a variety of water systems.
The low concentrations mean less chlorine entering the
environment, and this means a significantly lower impact. The
system is contained in a small equipment package and there is
no requirement for hydrogen disengagement.
