Science and technologies

During development of scientific and technical policy, we are guided by development and implementation of high-end technologies that conform to the up-to-date requirements of the process solutions market, high standards and criteria of environmental safety for oil and gas facilities.

PETON proprietary Research & Development Center

In 2022, in order to ensure technological sovereignty of the country and necessity of transition to a model of implementing full cycle chemical technologies independently, Peton proprietary Research & Development Center was established. The R&D Center comprises several divisions: 

• laboratory for investigating the internal devices of mass transfer equipment to study the operation of contact devices for rectification, absorption processes, knockout devices and test benches to look into the internal devices of extraction process;
• laboratory for synthesizing chemical products, and specifically at high temperatures and pressure;
• chemical analytical laboratory for identifying produced compounds, separating and analyzing complex mixtures in terms of quantity, as well as for solving reverse engineering tasks;
• laboratory for investigating hydrodynamic processes for studying and developing new technologies and equipment in the field of hydrodynamic processes.

Unique laboratory

At the premises of PETON Holding in Ufa, Russia’s unique laboratory for the creation and field testing of high-performance mass-transfer and separation equipment was established and operates.

The laboratory is equipped with the benches for field testing of the equipment manufactured in SRDI OIL&GAS PETON (trays, packings, baffles, coalescers, filters, distributors that are the “core” of the key basic processes in gas and oil processing: rectification, absorption, separation) for vessels up to 9,000 mm in diameter, including transparent hydraulic benches up to 1,800 mm in diameter.

Research and production achievements
