Application of MI reinforced heating cable for heating process pipeline with modified bitumen
The modified asphalt process requires a temperature of 380 °C, which leads to the use of steam heating not only in order not to achieve the heat preservation effect, but also to reduce the temperature of the modified asphalt in the pipe, causing difficulties in the flow. Modified asphalt, and it is difficult to achieve the required processing power and product yield. Reinforced coated heating cables to solve the problem of modified bitumen insulation.

When the chemical company upgraded the asphalt concrete process pipeline, it found that the original vapor barrier could not meet the demand. The steam temperature is only 130-150 ° C, while the modified asphalt process requires a temperature of 380 ° C, which leads to the use of genuine electric heating not only to achieve the heat preservation effect, but also to reduce the temperature of the modified asphalt in the pipe, as a result of which the flow of modified asphalt suffers. processing performance and product output are difficult to meet the requirements. In the end, the company decided to introduce our products with reinforced heating cable to solve the problem of modified bitumen insulation.
Reinforced insulated heating cable, that is, mineral insulated heating cable, consists of a metal core (heating body), the core is tightly surrounded by mineral magnesium oxide (insulation layer) and a metal tube (usually made of copper, steel or stainless steel, alloy 316L, 825, etc.). If desired, the layer of the anticorrosive outer shell of polyperfluoroethylene-propylene can be squeezed out of the metal shell.
Heating cables with mineral insulation are suitable for anti-freezing in industry or construction, as well as for heat preservation and heating of process environments. Especially for pipelines that require high power output or must withstand high temperature steam purging and work at high temperature for a long time, in environments that require anti-corrosion and explosion safety, the mineral insulated heating cables of the MISS electric heating system can show excellent performance.
After use on the modified asphalt pipeline, it was found that the reinforced heating cable emits heat evenly, there is no temperature difference in the length of the pipeline, the temperature is accurate, the response is fast, and it can easily realize automatic control, high reliability, fire protection, explosion protection and all-weather performance. The thermal efficiency of electric heating can reach 90-96%, while the total efficiency of steam heat exchange is only 40-60%.
When using armored heating cables to insulate modified asphalt pipelines, it is necessary to determine the upper and lower limit temperatures of the environment and the optimal operating temperature, maximum temperature, minimum temperature and average temperature to be maintained, and to check the pipeline material, the nominal diameter of the pipeline, length, material and thickness of insulating material, etc. D. Are convenient for design and choice.
In addition, it is also necessary to determine the presence of corrosive gases and flammable and explosive materials at the location of the electric heating installation in order to achieve the unity of economy and safety in design and selection.
When using a reinforced coated heating cable in a bitumen modified oil pipeline, the pipe material, the flange gasket and hole must be of high quality to reduce the maintenance frequency of the pipeline and the likelihood of damage to the electric heating, thereby extending the service life. Electric heating service life.
The actual production shows that the use of electric heating cables on modified asphalt pipelines is successful, and the semi-insulation of mineral insulated heating points has the advantages of energy saving, environmental protection, stable operation and easy maintenance. In addition, the mineral insulated heating cable is used on the company's tar and anthracene return pipeline, which also yielded good results.

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.
