Petroleum - Import export

From the sticky tar sands of Uzbekistan and the frozen windswept wastelands of Ural to arid, sun -leached Texas and the sizzling hot deserts of Saudi Arabia; from the warmth of the Caspian sea to the cold salt spray of the ocean, Gidrolast hydraulic cylinders are the actuators of choice in the gruelling oil field industry, both onshore and offshore. Oil rigs are located in some of the most demanding locations in the world. Blowing sand, sticky tar, extremes of hot and cold temperatures, corrosive elements and heavy-duty use. The cylinders used are often large-bore and long-stroke. Downtime is measured in millions of dollars. In addition to all that, the equipment is often located in remote areas far from civilization. Rugged, reliable cylinders are a must. Gidrolast designs and builds heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders, both rod style and telescopic, to withstand the tough conditions and demanding requirements of the petroleum industry.

DIFHEMI - EXCLUSIVE AND MULTIFACETED Manufactured by Brascoelma and brought to you by the joint-venture, DIFHEMI heaters are high-technology equipment capable of heating any fluid by electromagnetic induction. The device operates on a different principle because in addition to being versatile, and making it possible to heat any type of fluid, it is non-pollutant, it does not generate useless energy losses, and it reduces operational and implementation costs, the heating process’s performance and efficiency being raised to up to 98%. It is the leader and, worldwide, it is the most-efficient product in existence exploiting the conversion of electrical energy to heat. HOW DO THEY WORK?Employing the principle of electromagnetic induction, DIFHEMI heaters generate heat through the magnetism created in the grain-oriented steel nucleus, the heat being transferred to the stainless-steel tubes through which the fluids circulate.

Q: What are DIFHEMI inductive fluid heaters? A: DIFHEMI inductive fluid heaters (DIFHEMI is an acronym of ‘direct fluid heating by electromagnetic induction’) are of leading-edge innovative technology which is the sole property of Brascoelma; they belong to a new generation of fluid heaters which are unparalleled worldwide. They are currently the most-efficient equipment and heat any type of fluid, directly or indirectly, liquid or gaseous, at the desired temperature, flow rate and pressure. They utilise electromagnetic induction to generate heat and do not require electrical resistances of any kind, nor the use of fossil fuels. DIFHEMI inductive fluid heaters have permitted realising heating projects which would otherwise be non-viable, and since 1983 over 300 companies have used them. They have been found to be more advantageous than systems utilising resistance heating, fuel oil or natural gas, due principally to the inefficiency inherent in these latter systems of heat generation
