Diverter

Apex , Well Testing has developed its own set of fabrication specifications to ensure that equipment used by Apex Petroleum Services, Well Testing meets or exceeds all local requirements. Apex Petroleum Services, Well Testing specifications are primarily based on the following worldwide recognised specifications:

Equipment Design and Fabrication Specifications

  • API Spec 6A – Specification for Valves and Wellhead Equipment
  • ASME VIII For construction of pressure vessels , Div 1&2
  • API RP 14C – Recommended Practice for Analysis, Design, Installation, and Testing of Basic Surface Safety Systems on Offshore Production Platforms
  • NACE MR-01-75
  • Product Specification Level (PSL) 3
  • Material Class DD
  • Temperature Class P&X (-20° F to +350° F)

Diverter

Diverter Manifolds are used to redirect the well fluids/ gases produced during well testing operations. They are used to divert gas flow from equipment to flare booms, oil from equipment to burner heads, air from compressors to burner heads, etc.
Gas and oil diverters of this type are comprised of five basic elements. Firstly, the inlet tee, secondly, a pair of ball valves, and finally, two outlet flange adapters for reconnection to the process pipework.
When used in conjunction with Apex Petroleum Services process piping packages, these units provide selective line choice with minimum restrictions.

Features and Benefits

  • Use of multiple units allows flexibility in the system
  • Units can be built into skids for ease of transportation and handling
  • Available in various sizes and configurations
