Steel vs Fiberglass Tanks: Choosing the Right Material
When it comes to industrial fluid storage, few decisions are as critical as choosing the right tank material. The most common choices, steel tanks vs fiberglass tanks, each bring unique advantages and considerations depending on the environment, stored material, and long-term maintenance expectations. At Smith Industries, where custom steel storage tanks are designed and fabricated to meet API 12F and 12D standards, the choice of material is a matter of performance, reliabili

Choosing the Right Heater Treater for Your Oil Production Needs
When produced fluids reach the surface, they rarely arrive in neat, separate streams. Crude oil, water, gas, and fine solids often travel together as tight emulsions that are difficult to break in a reasonable footprint or timeframe. A heater treater is the workhorse that warms, settles, and separates those phases so downstream equipment, storage, and sales points run smoothly. Choosing the right heater treater is not a one size fits all decision. It depends on your productio
