25 Years of Experience and Engineering to Manage the Air
Oil & Gas Fan Solutions
The oil and gas industry is characterized by high safety standards, aggressive chemical environments and potentially explosive atmospheres across a wide range of processes including exploration, production, refining, storage and distribution. In this critical sector, fan systems play vital roles, from evacuation of process gases to combustion air supply, ventilation and flare gas blowing. It is imperative that fans not only operate with high efficiency, but also have absolute tightness, explosion-proof (Ex-Proof), corrosion resistance and the ability to operate without interruption.
As Efsan Makina, we design, manufacture and commission safe, durable and energy efficient fan systems for the most demanding and specific needs of the oil and gas industry. We stand by you with our proven engineering expertise to maximize the safety, efficiency and environmental compatibility of your processes.
Oil & Gas Industry Challenges and Legend Solutions
Fans in oil and gas installations face extremely hazardous and corrosive conditions. Efsan’s solutions in this field focus on the following key challenges:
- Explosive and Flammable Atmospheres (Ex-Proof / ATEX): Oil and gas vapors can create explosive atmospheres in the plant. Efsan Solution: We design and manufacture ATEX certified, Ex-Proof (explosion proof) fans. These fans are specifically designed and tested to operate safely in hazardous areas in accordance with all relevant international safety standards (API, NFPA, etc.).
- Aggressive Gases and Corrosion: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and other corrosive gases can cause severe damage to fan materials. Efsan Solution: We manufacture fans from materials with high corrosion resistance such as special alloyed stainless steels (e.g. AISI 316L, Duplex, Super Duplex), Hastelloy or Inconel. We extend fan life by using special chemical-resistant coatings and sealing elements.
- Gas Tightness: Preventing leaks of toxic, flammable or valuable process gases is vital for both operational safety and compliance with environmental regulations. Efsan Solution: Using special mechanical seal systems, double mechanical seal designs, nitrogen barrier (purged seals) and gastight connections, we ensure absolute sealing and prevent hazardous material leaks.
- High Temperature and Pressure: Applications such as process heaters, reactors and flare systems require fans to operate at high temperature and pressure differentials. Efsan Solution: Using high temperature resistant materials and special cooling mechanisms, we design fans with stable performance even under extreme conditions. With our high-pressure fans, we offer solutions tailored to your process.
- Energy Efficiency: Energy consumption is a major expense in oil and gas plants as well as in power plants. Efsan Solution: With process-specific aerodynamic optimizations and inverter (VFD) control systems, we reduce energy consumption and operating costs by ensuring that our fans operate with the highest efficiency at full load and part load.
