Oil & Gas Processing Equipment

Exploration and production of oil and natural gas requires the use of many different types of bulk material handling and processing equipment. KWS provides equipment for conveying and metering frac sand, proppants, drill cuttings, mud additives and chemicals used in the production process. Drill cuttings disposal is a major issue and KWS has helped develop processes for both thermal and chemical neutralization. Our heavy-duty Continuous Mixers and Thermal Processors are important components of the process. The operating conditions in the oilfield are very harsh and KWS equipment is designed and built to withstand even the toughest applications.
