Odessa, Texas manufacturer of custom mobile pumping and heating equipment: hot oil units, frac heaters, kill trucks, 600 HP pump trucks and ASME D.O.T. cargo tanks.
Energy Fabrication, Inc. is a custom manufacturer of mobile pumping and heating equipment for the oil and gas industry, based in Odessa, Texas. The company has been in business since 1991 and incorporated since 1992, and states that it services Texas and ships worldwide, describing its work as providing oilfield equipment for the Permian Basin and globally.
Units are engineered to customer specification rather than supplied from a fixed catalogue, and the company states that all manufacturing is done at its own facility. New and used stock units are listed alongside custom builds.
## Heating equipment
Hot oil units are diesel or propane fired, with a two coil assembly in Sch 40 or Sch 80 domestic material, 75 BBL storage tank, 480 gallon propane storage, onboard fire control systems and standard internal coating. Drive is either dual hydrostat hydraulic or mechanical PTO.
Frac heaters are built for propane, diesel or natural gas firing at a stated 80 percent efficiency, with eco air or direct fired burners, multi pass coil arrangements and finned tubing. Super heater coils are available in seamless carbon steel, chromium molybdenum seamless alloy steel and stainless steel. Fuel tanks run to 3,000 gallons on truck mounts and 5,000 gallons on trailer mounts.
| Unit | Heat exchanger input |
| --- | ---: |
| Hot oil units | 7m Btu/hr standard |
| Multi-plex units | Up to 21m Btu/hr |
| Frac heaters | 16m to 40m Btu/hr |
## Pumping equipment
Kill trucks run truck-driven triplex pumps through a Spicer transfer case, with oil bath chain, belt or gear drive, and are offered in body load or cargo trailer style on DOT 406, 407 or 412 tanks. The 600 HP pump trucks carry high pressure kill systems, 40 gallon triplex lube oil systems, four inch plumbing with stainless butterfly valves and internally coated components, and the company states that every unit is tested to maximum design flow and pressure.
| Unit | Pump horsepower | Maximum pressure |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Hot oil units | 60 to 165 HP | 10,000 PSI |
| Kill trucks | Up to 600 HP | 15,000 PSI |
| Multi-plex units | Up to 600 HP | 15,000 PSI |
Multi-plex units are built for applications needing more pressure and heat capacity than a standard hot oil unit, carrying a 75 BBL DOT 412 split tank and volumes to 13 BPM. Kill truck volumes range from 3.5 to 15 BPM.
## Cargo tanks
ASME and D.O.T. cargo trailers are produced to 406, 407 and 412 specifications, including USDOT 412 acid transport, with an ASME U stamp available. Standard features include quarter inch shell and heads, up to four compartments at 4,000 to 6,000 gallons, single point or Watson Chalin 50,000 pound air ride suspension, four or six inch plumbing, Girard safety valves, and acid resistant vinyl ester internal coating at 20 to 28 mil. DOT approved rear damage protection and a rollover system are fitted, and drawings and calculations are provided to the customer.
