In chemical production, the temperature of the heated liquid must be maintained by heating the pipeline in order to prevent the liquid from solidifying when transported by pipeline. Steam heating is a traditional method of thermal insulation and heating of liquid materials during transportation and storage. Since the steam temperature is much higher than the temperature the liquid should maintain, steam heating often causes energy loss, and the insulation effect in winter is poor, and the steam heater freezes easily and affects performance. Especially in the transportation and storage of some highly corrosive liquid media, it is easy to cause local corrosion and perforation of the pipeline, and often flow and burst. Smudges, leaks, etc. not only threaten the safe operation of the finish, but also seriously pollute the environment.
A major chemical group in our province has decided to use our electric heating to insulate the sulphuric acid pipeline in a 100,000 t/year caustic soda plant. After one winter operation, the temperature control effect of the pipeline is better, fully meeting the technological requirements. Effectively eliminates the easy clogging of hydrochloric acid pipelines in winter, not only avoids large labor losses and material resources, but also avoids the operational risk caused by the blockage of sulfuric acid pipelines; The heating temperature can also reduce the corrosion of hydrochloric acid to pipelines.
The electric heating system mainly consists of two parts: the control unit and the electric heating cable. The control unit uses temperature control units, and each circuit is equipped with a temperature measurement point to track, measure and control the process temperature of the pipeline. At all times. Based on the specified temperature value, when the system temperature is lower than the set temperature, the circuit is automatically connected to increase the temperature of the pipeline process; when the system temperature is higher than the set temperature, the temperature control system automatically turns off. Power source and limit temperature: a set temperature is reached.
The plant's heating facilities are diluted sulfuric acid with a 75% mass fraction and concentrated sulfuric acid with a 98% mass fraction. The service temperature is 15 degrees Celsius, and the external texture temperature is:-20.1 degrees Celsius. DN80 pipe diameter, carbon steel material. The total length of the gas pipeline is about 800 m.
Based on the fact that the current pipeline technology is mature, materials such as heating cables are resistant to corrosion by acids and other environments, and the control temperature meets the process requirements, and automatic control cannot be realized. Use acid-resistant anti-corrosion and explosion-proof electric heating belt with self-temperature control.

(6) Bending radius: 25.4mm at-20 °C, 35mm at-60 °C
(7) Insulation resistance: The insulation resistance between the electric heating conductor and the metal shielding layer shall not be less than 50 MOM.
After winter operation in 2021, it has been proved that the heat preservation effect of the electric heating system is good, and the operation is stable and reliable, which ensures the normal operation of the sulfuric acid pipeline and the production system is safe and efficient. Since the self-regulating electric heating belt adjusts thermal power according to the wall temperature of the inlet pipe (environment) when it is applied to anti-freezing and heat preservation in industrial piping and equipment, it can accurately maintain the process temperature and eliminate equipment and pipeline failure due to local overheating. Corrosion and perforation caused by this can effectively prevent the launch, Leakage and dripping, improve the production environment of the enterprise, and get double profits from energy saving and environmental protection.

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.

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.
