1. Oil Fingerprinting
Visbreaker
Water & Process Technologies’ Oil Fingerprinting Device combines
predictive analytics to provide rapid response, on-site analysis
of crude oils, oil blends and other hydrocarbon fluids to measure
their potential instability and incompatibility. This is done to
determine if any actions are needed so the crude/blend can be
processed without difficulties.
Unlike other testing methods, Water & Process Technologies’ Oil
Fingerprinter does not require solvent dilution, which changes
the native properties of the oil. Because the program uses direct
measurements, historical characteristics based on the “name”
of the crude are not needed for analysis—improving program
accuracy in a highly variable oil environment with changing crude
characteristics. The test has shown effective results with a broad
range of crude oils, residuum, heavy fuel oils, pipeline transmix,
slop/rerun oil and their blends.
Monitoring Technology
Water & Process Technologies has been developing crude fouling
predictive models for nearly 30 years. Using Oil Fingerprint testing,
predictive analytics and solids loading measurements, Water
& Process Technologies can reveal the fouling nature of a crude
blend. Applying the CrudePLUS technology enables predictive
analysis of fouling potential in addition to asphaltene instability.
Combining the predictive analytics from CrudePLUS with Water
& Process Technologies’ heat exchanger performance monitoring
and modeling programs, such as HxCoolPro* and HeatRatePro*,
represents a significant breakthrough in technology and
allows a more effective and efficient crude unit preheat fouling
management program.

A visbreaker reduces the quantity of residual oil produced in the distillation of crude oil and increases the
yield of more valuable middle distillates (heating oil and diesel) by the refinery. A visbreaker thermally
cracks large hydrocarbon molecules in the oil by heating in a furnace to reduce its viscosity and to produce
small quantities of light hydrocarbons (LPG and gasoline). The process name of “visbreaker” refers to the
fact that the process reduces (i.e., breaks) the viscosity of the residual oil. The process is non-catalytic.

Reformer Unit Amine Unit REFINING | APPLICATIONS AND PRODUCT PORTFOLIO

2017

Catalytic reforming is a chemical process used to convert petroleum refinery naphthas, typically having low
octane ratings, into high-octane liquid products called reformates which are components of high-octane
gasoline. The process re-arranges or re-structures the hydrocarbon molecules in the naphtha feedstocks
as well as breaking some of the molecules into smaller molecules. The overall effect is that the product
reformate contains hydrocarbons with more complex molecular shapes having higher octane values than
the hydrocarbons in the naphtha feedstock.
The Amine Unit is a group of processes that use aqueous solutions of various amines to remove hydrogen
sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from gases. It is a common unit process used in refineries,
petrochemical plants, natural gas processing plants and other industries. The process is also known as acid
gas removal and gas sweetening.

2017

In cooling systems, biofouling of heat exchange equipment and tower fill reduces heat transfer efficiency
and can force unscheduled shutdowns and extended turnarounds leading to lost production. Equipment
can also be damaged as a result of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) associated with biofouling.
Further, biofouled systems can pose a significant human health risk. Consequently, biofouling must be
prevented for systems to operate safely and efficiently and achieve profitability goals.
Product Solutions / Customer Benefits
Spectrus
Spectrus products give customers a wide array of options for controlling microbes (e.g., algae, fungi, bacteria, protozoa, etc.) and
macrofouling organisms (e.g., mollusks) in cooling water and related industrial systems. Control of biological populations in industrial
water systems is essential to prevent biofouling and other microbiological growth related issues.
The Spectrus product line consists of the following product series:
• Spectrus BD: to enhance the biocide performance
• Spectrus CT: to address macrofouling organisms
• Spectrus DT: detox materials
• Spectrus NX: non-oxidizing biocides
• Spectrus OX: oxidizing biocides
Cooling tower systems have the potential to support the growth of Legionella bacteria, allowing the
bacteria to reach high levels. The temperature, pH, organic and inorganic conditions in these systems
provide a good environment for Legionella growth. Legionella can be found in aerosol droplets in the exiting
air of cooling towers and may be inhaled by humans in the immediate vicinity of the tower. These bacteria
may lead to the development of Legionnaires’ disease or Pontiac Fever.
Water & Process Technologies offers cooling tower water treatment, services and best practices; which in
combination with system design, location, operations and maintenance are important in reducing the risk
of Legionella in cooling towers. Water & Process Technologies Legionella services include:

analyses to the next level—with a single detection platform that offers simplicity, stability and easy
installation. What’s more, Water & Process Technologies can configure a unique solution designed to meet
your specific goals and budget, taking into consideration:
• 
Chemicals Usage: Applying the right number of chemicals at the right time—nothing more, nothing less. Consistent application with
minimal variation ensures system performance and the confidence to engage in other improvements that contribute to lowering total
operating cost.

• 
Water Use and Consumption: As freshwater becomes increasingly scarce and expensive, Water & Process Technologies
understands the need to use less. With Water & Process Technologies technology, customers can confidently consider operating
under conditions that reduce the use of fresh water, and consider alternative sources of reused or recycled water that previously
would have been considered an unmanageable technical risk.

• O
 perational Efficiency and Productivity: Reducing the risk to any unplanned loss in production, whether due to inadequate heat
exchange or capital equipment failure, is important. Additionally, reducing the total cost of cooling operations over time without
disrupting production, experiencing catastrophic loss or compromising safety—with the greenest footprint possible. TrueSense
enables customers to reset their expectations and redefine

Product Solutions / Customer Benefits
Solids Separation – TSS Removal
• Metals removal – both particulate and soluble
• Oil separation – emulsion breaking and flotation enhancement
• Organics removal enhancement in biological treatment
systems and sewers
• Foam control solids separation in both primary and
secondary clarifiers
• KlarAid and PolyFloc: combined with years of application
expertise, these products enable the minimum necessary
chemical usage and reliable results. With the wide range of
products, GE can select the combination of coagulants and
flocculants to meet customer goals—including reliable results,
reduced cost and lower sludge generation. Our line of all-organic
coagulants are particularly suitable for biological systems where
the addition of inorganic products is not desirable.
Metals Removal
As regulations become increasingly strict on metals discharge, and
as water reuse becomes more widely practiced, the removal of
heavy metal contamination is more important. The Water & Process
Technologies approach is to carefully diagnose each customer
situation and determine the correct balance of solids separation
and metals precipitation technology needed. In addition to Water &
Process Technologies’ standard coagulants and flocculants, Water &
Process Technologies has several proprietary metals precipitants in
the MetClear product line. This combination of technologies provides
far lower residual metal concentrations of all the standard heavy
metals than other traditional treatment approaches.
45
Oil Removal
Removal equipment often cannot meet the low residual oil
levels required to meet modern discharge regulations or those
needed to protect biological systems. Treatment with Water &
Process Technologies’ line of emulsion breaking and flocculation
products can provide the clean-up needed in today’s plants.
KlarAid, Novus and RecOil products break most emulsions and
enhance the speed of oil separation. The Novus line of proprietary
and patented cationic flocculants has delivered superior results,
often with no other chemical, on refinery flotation units. Water &
Process Technologies’ application expertise is also bought to bear
on the issue of sludge handling costs. With the increasing cost
of handling and disposing of hazardous oily sludges, the use of
inorganic chemical treatments is not usually the most
cost-effective treatment due to the large production of extra sludge.
Use of Water & Process Technologies organic products ensure
reduced sludge production, with excellent emulsion breaking.
Organic Contaminants
Water & Process Technologies carries a wide range of specialty
bacteria and micronutrients designed to supplement and increase
the efficiency of biological treatment systems. The BioPlus line of
products includes specially enhanced bacteria, selected for their
natural ability to remove specific problem contaminants such as
heavy hydrocarbons, phenols, surfactants, FOG and more. These
products, combined with detailed engineering assessment and
bio-chemical monitoring, allow Water & Process Technologies’
field representatives to keep secondary treatment systems
in a more healthy and stable condition. This leads to better
performance and reliability overall.
