Electric heating and temperature maintenance in large crude oil storage tanks mainly consists of winding electric heating cables around the outer wall of storage tanks and using electric heating cables to heat oil in storage tanks to maintain temperature and heat. Compared with traditional hot water or steam heating, the electric heating method has the advantages of simple installation, uniform heating, accurate temperature control, water saving, high heat exchange efficiency, long service life, no environmental pollution, design, installation and maintenance. Small and other advantages, because the new generation heating technology after steam heating and hot water heating is widely used.
The electric heating system for maintaining the temperature of the tank is mainly composed of electric heating cables, temperature measurement devices, power distribution boxes, electric heating connectors and related accessories. The temperature detection device is used to determine the temperature of the tank surface and transmit the temperature signal to the temperature controller. When the detected temperature value is lower than the set temperature, the electric heating will automatically start through the control system, otherwise the power will be automatically turned off to stop the electric heating.
Constant power electric heating belt can be divided into single-phase, two-phase and three-phase according to the working voltage, and parallel and series types according to the working principle. The maximum use length of the serial electric heating belt is longer, the heating range is larger, and the electric heating power circuit is smaller.
In 2018, we used our constant power electric heating cable to prevent freezing for electric heating and maintain the temperature of two new floating-roof oil tanks on the line for a crude oil pipeline heating reconstruction project at Daqing Oil Field. The average temperature of the coldest month in the area is-30 °C and the extreme minimum temperature is-50 °C. The insulation material of the tank is 100mm thick composite magnesium aluminosilicate, the freezing temperature of the storage medium is 25 ° C. The oil tank should maintain a temperature above 3 °C.
After more than four years of operation, our electric heating products are still in good condition. Each year, the liquid level in each storage tank drops below 4.5 m for about 200 days, and the operating cost of each storage tank is about 480,000 euros. Yuan/year The operating costs of the two storage tanks have been saved up to 960,000 yuan/year in four years.
Our electric heating cables provide good social and economic benefits for the maintenance and energy saving of the entire oil pipeline.

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.
