Discover the top 3 instrument gas heater accessories—fuel filters, steady heat controllers, and regulators—that help extend heater life, boost performance, and ensure reliable operation in the field.
Get the Protection You Need Don’t wait until your equipment suffers from weather-related damage. Reach out to our team or visit our website to get more information on weather covers tailored to your heater setup. We'll help you find the right fit to keep your equipment running longer and more reliably—no matter the weather. Less downtime. More protection. That’s the Catco way.
There is no consensus on how to manage industrial freeze prevention or protection. But we can agree there are common best practices: a good plan typically consists of heating and insulation. The right system is highly dependent on your equipment...
The United States is positioning itself to become the world’s largest exporter of liquified natural gas (LNG) once again in 2023. The U.S. has been the world’s largest producer of petroleum since 2018 and the largest producer of natural gas since 2011. During the first two quarters of 2022, the U.S. also became...
The United States oil and gas industry has gained momentum heading into 2023 due in no small part to the renewed interest in natural gas as the country transitions to clean energy. Natural gas has earned a somewhat-unjustified reputation as nothing more than an affordable byproduct...
This month, we welcome the Catco CXE explosion-proof electric heater to our family of offerings. Catco’s niche will always be our famous explosion-proof gas catalytic heaters, but we realized...
What Is a Hazardous Location?
A hazardous location is an area where there is a risk of an explosion due to the presence of an explosive mixture/atmosphere. For example, common elements that make these areas hazardous include ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, vapors, combustible dust, or ignitable fibers.
In as little as four years, the market for the IoT (Internet of Things) in oil and gas worldwide is set to reach $39.40 billion. The oil and gas industry has readily adopted IoT because of the large range of technological challenges organizations face in downstream, midstream, and upstream markets. Here are just a few of those challenges:
In the oil and gas industry, often, your equipment is subject to harsh conditions. That can mean extremely cold temperatures, or areas of high pressure, or places with poor gas quality. Many sites don’t have permanent power supplies, which limits heating solutions to unsafe, impractical, or expensive options. But you need to protect valves and regulators from freezing to avoid shutdowns and keep productivity high.
