Refining

Offshore oil refining requires utilizing the best, most durable solutions for your equipment, especially in harsh environments. While traditional materials like carbon steel and stainless steel typically struggle to withstand these demanding conditions, titanium is known for holding strong.

At Titanium Fabrication Corporation (TiFab), we specialize in refining industry titanium solutions for both offshore and onshore uses. 

Titanium and Zirconium Solutions for Refining Applications

Our high-performance titanium and zirconium equipment is designed to withstand the difficult conditions of oil and gas refining. We craft our quality titanium refining products to guarantee superior corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity and efficiency in even the most extreme environments.

The TiFab team will review your process conditions and design titanium heat exchangers that will withstand vibration and ensure longevity required in the oil and gas space. We engineer these refining industry titanium solutions for high-corrosion environments, guaranteeing optimal heat transfer, durability, and safety in the refining processes from start to finish. TiFab also has vast experience in offshore titanium filtration vessels.

Refining industry titanium solutions are meant to handle the toughest environments. That’s why TiFab ensures that our advanced fabrication techniques deliver ultimate durability, resistance, and performance through its unique design.

Heat Exchangers and Pressure Vessels

Heat exchangers and pressure vessels are critical components in refining operations, and they require materials that can withstand extreme temperatures and corrosive process fluids. As we’ve established, titanium and zirconium are ideal for these applications due to their resistance to aggressive chemicals such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid.

With this in mind, TiFab manufactures custom heat exchangers designed to maximize heat transfer efficiency while maintaining structural integrity over extended periods.

We engineer our pressure vessels to operate under high-pressure conditions, ensuring long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. Additionally, the team fabricates every unit to meet ASME and API standards; this guarantees safety and efficiency in even the most demanding refining environments.

Piping Systems and Components

Along with custom heat exchangers, TiFab utilizes high-performance piping systems and components to transfer corrosive fluids safely and efficiently.

Whether it is exposure to seawater, high temperatures, or aggressive chemical mixtures, our titanium and zirconium piping solutions are meant to withstand it all – and you don’t have to worry about them degrading over time.

Because titanium piping has such a superior lifespan, you don’t have to worry about frequently replacing your systems. And this helps save you money, too.

Custom Fabrication and Engineering Services

Since every refining facility has unique needs, TiFab provides custom fabrication and engineering services to deliver solutions tailored to various applications.

Our team of experts works closely with our clients to develop precision-engineered titanium and zirconium components that meet exact specifications. Whether you’re interested in designing intricate reactor internals, custom storage tanks, or specialized process equipment, TiFab ensures each piece presents ultimate durability and performance.

Of course, we subject all of our fabricated products to rigorous inspection and testing. Doing this guarantees they meet industry standards and safety regulations – and it grants you a lot of peace of mind.

Why Use Titanium and Zirconium in Refining?

In the refining industry, titanium solutions reign supreme. This is because the oil and gas industry requires the utilization of durable materials that can withstand the corrosive nature of chlorides found in seawater cooling systems.

Here are just a few reasons why TiFab chooses to use titanium for these unique applications:

  • Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Titanium resists damage from acids, seawater, and hydrogen sulfide, reducing the risk of equipment failure and costly repairs.
  • Extended Equipment Lifespan: Unlike conventional metals that degrade over time, these advanced materials maintain structural integrity, minimizing downtime and replacement costs.
  • Weight Savings: Titanium piping often provides a 40% weight savings on ballast water and fire water piping systems on FPSO and gravity based offshore platforms.
  • Cost-Effective Long-Term Investment: Although the initial investment may be higher, reduced maintenance, longer service life, and improved operational reliability lead to significant cost savings over time.
