A compressor station in Eastern PA installed a Bruest Freez-Fiter S20000 to prevent the regulators from freezing prior to cutting the pressure from 1083 psi to 200 psi. If the regulators freeze, they will not work as designed to cut down the pressure. Bruest Freez-Fiters were designed to heat low to medium volume of gas with one or more catalytic heater panels to heat a serpentine process gas coil.
For 60 years, Bruest Catalytic Heater has provided flameless, infrared catalytic heating solutions for the natural gas industry.
The green valve connects to the Freez-Fiter control panel that starts and monitors the heater.
The gray enclosure on the right contains the Freez-Fiter control panel that starts and monitors the Freez-Fiter. The green valve was opened so that the natural gas could flow through the Freez-Fiter and the regulators.
HOW BRUEST HEATERS WORK
Freez-Fiter pilot gas heaters safely and effectively heat low volumes of gas used by pilot regulators and instruments. An electric source is required to warm up the catalytic pad. Once the pads are warmed up, which should take between 15 to 20 minutes, the electric supply can be removed and the gas supply takes over. After the gas is introduced, the catalytic reaction will supply the necessary heat to continue the process. The gas travels through the heat exchange coil to be heated by the infrared heat.
Bruest’s Catalytic Heaters are flameless, free of emissions, low maintenance and safe for hazardous locations. Made in Independence, Kansas, Bruest Catalytic Heaters are the safest, most efficient alternative wherever flameless heat is required.
