Electric heating system thermal insulation port petrochemical pipeline

In the petrochemical industry in the north, when crude oil, diesel fuel, bitumen oil and other raw materials are transported through trunk pipelines, the pipeline system must be treated with thermal insulation and heating to ensure the smooth transportation of petroleum products. Now take Liaoning Yingkou Port as an example to briefly introduce the application of our electric heating products for pipeline insulation.

With the development of modern industry, the electric heating system is widely used for anti-freezing, anti-condensation and heat preservation of pipelines, valves, containers, tools and pipelines in petroleum, chemical, electric power, metallurgical, food, ship, offshore platforms and others. Places. Due to the numerous advantages of the electric heating method, it gradually replaced the traditional trend of steam heating. Electric heating is the use of electrical energy to heat uniform heat emitted along the length of the heating main or on a large plane, to compensate for the heat release of the heated object in the technological flow, to maintain the temperature of its environment within an acceptable operating temperature. Range, and meet the requirements of its technological process. In the northern region, in winter, oil storage tanks and auxiliary pipelines are required to heat the environment to reach an operational condition while operating with oil.

In the petrochemical industry in the north, when crude oil, diesel fuel, bitumen oil and other raw materials are transported through trunk pipelines, the pipeline system must be treated with thermal insulation and heating to ensure the smooth transportation of petroleum products. Now take Liaoning Yingkou Port as an example to briefly introduce the application of our electric heating products for pipeline insulation.

Currently, the most commonly used forms of electric heating are constant power electric heating cables, surface effect electric heating cables, and self-regulating electric heating cables.

Yingkou Port mainly includes the connection of petroleum products in the dock loading and unloading area and the main pipeline to the pipeline corridor to the rear of the tank. The electric heating pipelines in the oil tank area of this project are mainly DN900 trunk pipeline entering and exiting the group of tanks, DN500 pipeline entering and coming from the oil pump, and DN250 long-distance loading pipeline. The pipeline medium is crude oil and the operating temperature is 60 °C. The trunkline is equipped with continuous power electric heating cables, and each branch of the pipeline is equipped with constant power parallel electric heating cables, which are appropriately controlled by in-situ designed electric heating boxes.

The electric heating control unit has a built-in temperature monitor that collects the thermal resistance signal and the signal passes through the optical fiber vessel's PLC control system. When the system detects that the temperature of the pipeline is lower than the set temperature of the system by the temperature sensor, the system will automatically adjust the power to start the electric heating, otherwise it will automatically turn off, To stop the electric heating (start at 50 °C and stop at 60 °C).)

In addition to crude oil, the pipeline environment of Yingkou Port includes diesel, gasoline, bitumen oil, ballast water, and fire extinguishing water. Pipe sections in the loading and unloading area are relatively short, so constant power heating cables are used. Long pipelines in the pipeline gallery use electric leather heating. The load of the electric heating system of the skin is complex and complex, is a composite load consisting of inductance, capacitance and resistance, and imposes high requirements on the transformer. The skin effect transformer is different from the transformer used to power the product, and is a special electric heating transformer with skin effect.

At present, our electric heating cables are in normal use in Yingkou Port. In the future, we will continue to cooperate with Yingkou Port and continue to contribute to the heating and insulation of Yingkou pipes.

Electrical heating installation precautions

Electric heating cable is a heating method that uses insulation resistance or resistance heating wire to create a temperature after power supply. It can automatically adjust the output temperature and reasonably maintain the process temperature requirements to keep warm, raise the temperature and protect the heating equipment from freezing. The insulation and antifreeze effect of the container is very good.

Which electric heating should be chosen for the main pipeline transport of heavy oil

Transport of heavy oil through the pipeline over long distances and long-term retention in the pipeline will result in a drop in temperature due to heat dissipation and increased viscosity, which will cause the pipeline to be blocked by freezing or condensation-related accidents. Electric heating is widely used as effective insulation of pipelines and anti-freeze protection.

Which electric heating cable should be considered for a 4 km pipeline

According to the statistics of the Hydrometeorological Center, the average daily minimum temperature at the location of the CNPC tank farm is 5 ° C, and the average daily maximum temperature is 14 ° C. Since the freezing point of the PX is about 15 °C, the supply pipeline needs heat preservation and heating. The oil depot has been in operation for many years without a stable source of steam, therefore, this project is considering the use of electric heating technology.

Application of outdoor electric heating cable in oil main pipelines with high paraffin content

Long-distance crude oil pipelines with a high paraffin content with freezing temperatures above 50 °C. According to the requirements of the production plan of the plant, the volume of oil transportation through the pipeline is 150 thousand rubles. Tons per year, maximum-200 thousand. Tons per year.. According to the thermodynamic analysis of the pipeline, the initial supply temperature of the pipeline is 80 ° C (TN), and the temperature of the end entering the tank is 60 ° C (Tu). Since the transportation temperature needs to be adjusted according to the time of year, it sometimes needs to be transported by heat.

What heating product to choose for main infusion pipelines

In petrochemical engineering, trunk infusion pipelines are the lifeblood of the factories. The temperature in the northern region is too low in winter and the pipeline needs to be insulated to compensate for the heat loss due to the low temperature in winter to ensure the normal operation of the pipeline.

The role of leather tracer cables in the insulation of asphalt main pipelines

The toughness of the asphalt is greatly affected by the temperature. When the temperature decreases, the toughness of the asphalt increases, and the drop in resistance of the asphalt during pipeline transportation increases; when the temperature falls below the freezing point, the asphalt solidifies, causing the pipeline to clog and the conveyor belt to come to trouble. Therefore, electric heating and heat preservation during the transportation of asphalt are very important.
