Small Gas heaters

Small Gas heaters

Small Gas heaters

(OP)
I am designing a small natural gas pressure reducing and metering station where a heat input of approximately 30 kW is required to heat the gas to prevent icing, hydrate formation and liquid drop out.

I am looking for a suitable heater to heat the gas.  Obviously the natural choice is a water bath heater, but the duty is on the low side making it unfeasible due to the cost of the required engineering.  

I have been advised that there are small off the shelf gas heaters (cheap and cheerful).  If any one has any experience of these and can point me in the right direction I would be grateful.

I have done the Google and Altavista searchs but they did not come with anything.

Thank you in anticipation

RE: Small Gas heaters

Small skid mounted package units sold as direct-fired heaters (that are not necessarily off the shelf), but if given the fuel composition, process fluid, and flow rate lbs/hr a number of companies can supply these with burner/forced draft fan and control panel.  You might look at associated sites at www.jehar.com.  Or just type in the word direct fired heaters.  Hope this is of help.  It is one possible solution to many others available.
