Revamps

Desalter Revamps & Upgrades

Your wells change over time, and your desalting system should keep up. Brine water salinity can spike to 250,000 parts per million. An underperforming unit leaves thousands of pounds of solids in your crude, raising costs and risk. Forum’s field teams handle everything from initial consultation to final installation, so you can focus on running your operation.

Revamp, retrofit, and/or upgrade your desalters with the industry’s most experienced technical partner.

An underperforming desalter not only leads to processing challenges, but also may:

  • Impact the integrity of downstream equipment by increasing corrosion risk
  • Lead to upsets in waste processing
  • And increase fouling

Retrofitting outdated equipment is not only an effective way to mitigate these risks but is also a long-term solution for leaner operations and higher profits.

From the initial consultations to equipment removal and final installations, we proudly offer one of the industry’s most customer-focused experiences.
