Valves

Oil and gas customers depend upon a broad range of manual and automatic valves to keep processing systems operating effectively. High pressure, extreme temperatures and tough environmental conditions can challenge performance. X3 Innovations' solutions help protect valve integrity. Our coatings reduce friction and provide reliable erosion and corrosion resistance – ensuring valve efficiency and durability throughout your processing system.

Typical treated parts include:

• Valves
• Seats
• Stems
• Seals
• Butterfly valve flaps
• Ball valves

Gates and seats

Metal to metal contact requires protection for gas tight seals capable of withstanding sliding wear in corrosive conditions at high pressure. It is critical therefore that all the components within this process perform to their maximum and allow the drilling to be efficient, cost effective and environment friendly.

Through the use of industry approved thermal processing treatments we are able to extend the life of the components by reducing the wear caused to them through abrasion, erosion and corrosion thus helping to reduce downtime.  X3 Innovations' services for these components include heat treatment, surface technology, and HIP.

Typical treated parts include:

• Gate valves
• Valve seats
• Actuators

Heat exchangers

Heat exchangers play a vital role as an efficient device for the heat transfer between two fluid media. The two media may be in separate paths or be in direct contact.

Through the use of industry approved thermal processing treatments X3 Innovations  is able to extend the life of the components by reducing the wear caused to them through abrasion, erosion and corrosion thus helping to reduce downtime.  X3 Innovations services for these components include heat treatment, surface treatment, surface spray and anti-corrosion coating technology, and Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP).

Typical treated parts include:

• Plates
• Pipe work
• Couplings
• Fasteners

Rotors

On-shore or off-shore drilling is one of the most vital areas within the oil and gas industry, it is carried out in some of the harshest environments known to man.  Therefore it’s critical that all the components within this process perform to their maximum and allow the drilling to be efficient, cost effective and environment friendly.

By the use of industry approved thermal processing treatments we are able to extend the life of the down-hole drilling rotors by reducing the wear caused to them through abrasion, erosion and corrosion.  X3 Innovations' services for these components include heat treatment, surface technology, and HIP.

Typical treated parts include:

• Mud drill motors
• Displacement rotors
• Single lobe
• Multi lobe
• Stators

Drilling equipment

As drilling has become more complex, with horizontal and directional drills increasing in numbers, well logging has also had to adapt and improve. Measurement-While-Drilling (or MWD) is a type of well logging that incorporates the measurement tools into the drill string and provides real-time information to help with steering the drill. Critical components in these tools require protection from wear, corrosion, and vibration.  X³ services for these components include heat treatment, surface technology, and HIP.

Typical treated parts include:

• Bearing sleeves
• Flow diverters
• Wear pads
• Electronic chassis
• Piston supports
• Manifolds

Pumps

Oil and gas customers depend upon a broad range of manual and automatic pumps to keep processing systems operating effectively. High pressure, extreme temperatures and tough environmental conditions can challenge performance.  X3 Innovations solutions help protect pump integrity. Our coatings reduce friction and provide reliable erosion and corrosion resistance – ensuring pump efficiency and durability throughout your processing system.  X3 Innovations services for these components include heat treatment, thermochemical surface treatments, surface coating technology (thermal spray + ceramic densification), and Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP).

Typical treated parts include:

• Impellors
• Shafts
• Seals
• Sleeves
• Pump casings
• Rotors
