Electrical heating of the compressor pipeline in the associated petroleum gas zone

As an effective insulation of pipelines and antifreeze, electric heating is widely used in petroleum, petrochemical, chemical and other industries. The heating is to use the outside world to supply heat to a pipeline or equipment. When the heat generated is equivalent to that of a pipeline or equipment, the pipeline can maintain a relatively constant temperature at that temperature. This method of supplying heat from the outside to pipelines or equipment is electric heating.

As an effective insulation of pipelines and antifreeze, electric heating is widely used in petroleum, petrochemical, chemical and other industries. The heating is to use the outside world to supply heat to a pipeline or equipment. When the heat generated is equivalent to that of a pipeline or equipment, the pipeline can maintain a relatively constant temperature at that temperature. This method of supplying heat from the outside to pipelines or equipment is electric heating.

Heating can be divided into three forms: 1. Steam heating is called steam heating with steam as heat medium 2. Electric heating is called electric heating with electricity as energy source Water heating.

Compared with steam heating, electric heating has attracted more and more attention from users due to its advantages of accurate temperature control, high heat transfer efficiency, easy installation, convenient operation and maintenance, etc. D.

The electric heating system of the pipeline consists of a heating cable, a power junction box, a terminal junction box, a heat shrinkage kit, a temperature sensor, mounting accessories and other materials.

This article considers, as an example, the electric heating of compressors pipelines in the associated petroleum gas production area to represent the entire process of designing electric heating pipelines. In 2010, we delivered a batch of electric heating cables to an oil-producing country in the Middle East. The proven reserves of the field's oil amount to about 2.8 billion barrels, natural gas reserves-70 billion cubic meters, its development is planned to be carried out in four stages. The central technological station of the field carries out the main technological processes, such as oil and gas separation, desalination and drying, pressure increase and external transport in the first stage of field development. Among them, crude oil is transported to other pressure-raising stations via pipeline after three-phase separation, heat exchange, delay, stabilization and other processes at the preparation station.

The main function of the associated gas compression zone with heavy oil is to receive gas from the heavy oil zone, separate it with an advanced buffer tank, then feed it into the compressor for boost, and finally transport it to the commercial gas zone after cooling. Air cooler. Including two compressor installations, one working and one backup. To prevent damage to the compressor due to gas entrainment, electric heating has become an extremely important task.

At present, the field electric heating has been in operation for two years and is in good condition.

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.
