Process Solutions for the Oil and Gas Industry VME Process (VME) is a global provider of process equipment packages and separation products to the oil and gas industry. Using both cutting edge and conventional technologies, VME aims to supply our customers with the most cost effective solution that helps them achieve product specifications. Although our emphasis is in the oil and gas industry, our products and services are applicable to others including petrochemical, refining, steam production and power generation. Our goal is to be the leader in oil and gas separation technologies through a talented and innovative workforce and our commitment to product development. Added Value Engineering Each project has unique challenges and opportunities waiting to be explored. That s why we take the time to listen to you. We know that communication is critical to the success of any project. Our engineers and technical staff will work with you to explore the most cost effective solution for your application. This intimate interaction keeps the project on track and allows us to provide superior products and process packages that meet your requirements. We call this added value engineering.this added value helps reduce initial capital expenditures and minimize operating costs, making your project more profitable. We commit to our customers to provide a cost effective and optimal solution to their unique project by supplying high quality products and services backed by on-time deliveries. About Our Company VME was founded and incorporated in 1985 to design and manufacture process equipment packages and custom designed process internals. Since our inception almost 20 years ago, many of our customers have been E&C companies, fabrication companies, or vessel suppliers. Companies familiar with VME have enjoyed our quality products and on-time deliveries. We continue to receive the highest honor possible from our customers; that is, their repeat business. VME is known as an expert in the design and supply of process equipment and custom separation products for both onshore and offshore projects. Our focus is to provide optimal solutions for the entire production system through an integrated design approach using our state-of-the-art separation technologies and know-how.
Experience and Qualifications With over eleven hundred (1100) projects, VME has provided products and services to customers around the world. Our engineers and consultants have worked on projects ranging from simple replacement parts to supplying complete FPSO topsides modules. VME has the experience and knowledge to provide full process support and equipment supply for almost any project. VME s corporate success is the result of its team of specially trained and experienced engineers and professionals who are committed to excellence. Our team members, with backgrounds in chemical, petroleum, mechanical, electrical, and instrument engineering, are experienced in all aspects of project execution from conceptual design and cost estimation to project management and field construction. Worldwide Capabilities VME s corporate headquarters, complete with design, engineering and fabrication capabilities is located in Tyler, Texas, USA. Our international sales office is located in Houston, Texas, USA which strategically places us in the major oil and gas center of the world. With affiliates in Australia, China, India, Malaysia, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, we are your ideal global partners. Where practical, we will design and manufacture locally to your job site, offering savings in both time and transportation costs. Our advance communications and IT systems help accelerate production lead times and improve quality, giving you the benefits of a truly global partnership.
ISO Certified VME operates under a quality management system that meets the requirements of ISO-9001:2000, certification issued by: AJA REGISTRARS USA LLC. As part of our quality management system, we implement a project quality plan for each project to assure conformance to project specifications and to ensure that customer requirements are met. We also demand the same level of conformance from all suppliers and subcontractors involved in manufacturing and construction phases to ensure the same level of quality for our customers. Project Responsibility and Guarantee VME maintains responsibility for design, fabrication, testing, installation, commissioning and startup of our process equipment. Using an integrated design approach for the project, we minimize interface problems in the field. For our custom designed internals we can maintain the total responsibility concept or reduce our scope to meet your project budget and special requirements. In either case we warrant our products. All process equipment packages and custom designed internals are delivered with full process and mechanical guarantees. Research & Development Research and development of new process technologies and continued improvement of our existing technologies and products is essential in keeping with the demand for more cost effective and environmentally friendly products. We continually strive to improve our products through computer modeling and independent research. The best feedback we can use is actual operating data. We like to work with our customers to get accurate feedback allowing us to help fine-tune their system after the plant is in service. Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) is a sophisticated computational-based analysis technology that has the ability to predict the fluid flow behavior and study the dynamics of the flow. CFD provides the power to simulate: Flow of gases and liquids Multiphase physics Fluid-structure interaction VME uses leading edge Fluent CFD software for: Optimization of designs and process efficiency Reductions in cost of products Saving time by avoiding actual field experiments Troubleshooting of existing designs Motion Studies and Separator Designs The use of floating oil production systems is increasing relatively to fixed platforms because of: Lower capital cost Suitable at any water depth Potential of re-use Hydrocarbon deposits discovered in progressively deeper water Sloshing Motion of an Offshore 3-phase Separator during the Maximum Pitch Operating Condition Green represents the oil/gas interface Red represents the water/oil interface Vessel without baffles Vessel with baffles However, some of the processing equipment on floating systems, particularly large primary gravity separators, can be adversely affected by floater motions that are caused by waves, wind and currents. Installation of porous or perforated baffles in the vessels can effectively suppress the gross liquid movement caused by the vessel motion sloshing. By using the multiphase solver in CFD, the fluid behavior in the vessel can be predicted.
