Heater Treaters
Heater treaters combine heat, retention time and internal design to break oil and water emulsions. Smith Industries builds treating vessels complete with firetube, burner assembly, controls and skid.
Overview

Each treater is fabricated as a complete package: vessel, firetube, burner train, stack, controls and skid.
