Hexa-Cover® Oil & Gas Duty Overview
The Hexa-Cover® is a patented solution designed for use in various Oil & Gas tank applications. It is particularly effective for hot heavy oil duties such as CHOPS, Diluted Bitumen, and SAGD. The product features a hexagonal shape with symmetric ribs, allowing it to float and form a barrier on the liquid surface, reducing odours and vapours.
Key Features and Benefits- Reduces tank vent emissions including BTEX compounds (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylene).
- Lowers vapour load on VRU systems, potentially eliminating the need for additional equipment.
- Minimizes water vapour that carries VOCs, reducing odour and health issues.
- Decreases heat loss, lowering operating costs.
- Provides insulation for heated crude oil tanks, reducing costs for CHOPS facilities.
- Reduces offensive and carcinogenic odours.
- Decreases tank head space corrosion by lowering humidity levels.
- Potentially eliminates the need for defoaming chemicals.
- Reduces energy required to reach optimal process temperatures.
- Minimizes water vapour generation, preventing icing and odour transport.
Design Specifications- Chemically compatible with heavy oil components up to 100°C.
- Resistant to weight gain and thermal shock, tested from -40°C to +100°C.
- Polymer classified as static dissipative with a surface resistivity of 3.7 x EO9Ω sq” (ASTM Test method D257).
- Can be installed while tanks are operational, minimizing downtime.
Additional Applications- Hydrocarbon contaminated wastewater basins.
- Conventional crude oil and emulsion storage.
- Frac oil and water storage.
- Gasoline, diesel, and other refined products.
- Thermal heavy oil and SAGD Dilbit sales tanks.
- Sour sand slurry tanks, process water ponds, purified tailings ponds.
- API separator and boil feed water applications.
