Influence of electric heating on pressure increase in the liquefied petroleum gas storage tank
A tank for the storage of catalyzed liquefied petroleum gas in the refinery, its content is about 63.3% propylene and 36.7% butene. It was found that the pressure of saturated propylene vapor is 1.32 MPa at 30 ° C. and the pressure of saturated butene vapor is 0.35 MPa. After calculation, its saturated steam pressure is 0.82 MPa, which is very close to the working pressure of 0.8 MPa in our normal production. Therefore, we only need to maintain the storage tank temperature at 30 °C in winter to match the performance. Needs.

Liquefied petroleum gas is a mixture of hydrocarbons consisting of two elements, carbon and hydrogen Chemically organic compounds formed by carbon and hydrogen are collectively called hydrocarbons. Relatively high pressures are required to liquefy methane, ethane and ethylene with carbon atoms of less than three. More molecular hydrocarbons with more than four carbon atoms are in a liquid state at room temperature, so under normal conditions they are not components of liquefied petroleum gas. The main components of liquefied petroleum gas are hydrocarbons containing three carbon atoms and four carbon atoms, which in industry is also called carbon three and carbon four.
The saturated vapor pressure of a mixture of liquefied hydrocarbon gases is the vapor pressure when the gas-liquid phase of the mixture is in equilibrium at a certain temperature. That is, when the evaporation rate of the vapor molecules is equal to the condensation rate, the pressure and temperature are different, and the saturated vapor pressure is different The higher the temperature, the higher the saturated vapor pressure of each component. The temperature, the components are different, the saturated steam pressure is different, and the carbon vapor saturated pressure of compounds with shorter chains than those with longer carbon chains. Since the liquefied gas is a mixture, not a pure substance, the pressure in the cylinder depends on the mixture.
Taking as an example the catalytic liquefied petroleum gas of the refinery, its content is about 63.3% propylene and 36.7% butene. It was found that the pressure of saturated propylene vapor is 1.32 MPa at 30 ° C. and the pressure of saturated butene vapor is 0.35 MPa. After calculation, its saturated steam pressure is 0.82 MPa, which is very close to the working pressure of 0.8 MPa in our normal production. Therefore, we only need to maintain the storage tank temperature at 30 °C in winter to match the performance. Needs.
The application principle of the electric heating cable is as follows: when the medium is stored or flows in the container tank of the pipeline, it must give heat to the outside. The temperature required for the environment meets the technological requirements. After repeated negotiations, we put a powerful 50 W/meter electric heating belt at the plant.
The series of constant power parallel electric heating tapes has a constant calorific value per unit length. The longer the electric heating belt is used, the greater the total output power, and the maximum usage length of one circuit is longer; it is mainly used for various high-temperature piping, instrumentation, and tanks. hull equipment insulation, Maintaining temperature and heating high, can be used in explosive gas situations in the first and second premises of the plant.

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.
