Benefits

Maximize your oil recovery

Up to 78 times more hydraulically efficient than traditional gunbarrels, KBK HWSB^TM skim tanks are at the heart of every KBK oil recovery solution. This tank are best utilized for high water cut situations such as salt water disposal facilities or production sites. 

They are proven to: 

• Improve recovery rates by as much as 5x
• Separate virtually all oil from water, to an average of less than 30 ppm Improve pad site and SWD profitability
• Pay for themselves within just a few months
• Better clarify water for injection, reducing well plugging and well bore damage
• Dehydrate separated crude to pipeline quality (in most cases)
• Remove the need to use costly chemicals in your Salt Water Disposal separation process

KBK DFSD^TM desanders complement our skim tanks. Using proprietary technology, our desanders reduce maintenance costs by removing the suspended, abrasive solids that adversely impact pump and piping life.

Driving Water Quality

Injecting 500-1000 ppm oil into the SWD well is the equivalent to pumping 3,000 to 6,000 pounds of well plugging "goo" into the injection well every day. That's 547.5 to 1,095 tons of “goo” annually. The KBK HWSB^TM skim tank in conjunction with the DFSD^TM desander significantly improve injection water quality which extends well life and increases your businesses profitability. 

How it works

Revolutionary design for high water cuts

KBK HWSB^TM skim tanks feature overall hydraulic efficiency approaching 72% (considered the real-world maximum). This compares with 3-5% for gunbarrels. There’s no better oil recovery system in the world than one based on KBK HWSB^TM skim tanks and configured by KBK engineers.
