Heavy Oils Refinery

Heavy Oils and Oil Sands

Unconventional crude oils are some of the most difficult to upgrade. Graham equipment provides reliable operation for the largest oil sands upgraders in Western Canada and South America for the conversion of these extra-heavy crude oils.

Lube Oil Fractionation

The production of lubricating oils from various crude oil slates requires predictable and reliable vacuum system performance. Graham Ejector Systems and Hybrid Ejector-Liquid Ring systems for lube oil service are found in the Middle East, North and South America, Southeast Asia, Australia and Europe.

Conversion processes

Many processes, including fluid catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, hydrotreating and coking require reliable equipment to support these specialized services. Graham works closely with Process Licensors, Equipment Suppliers and Plant Teams to produce products in the most energy efficient manner possible.
