Application of electric heating in asphalt pipelines and tanks
Since the object of heating is asphalt, it is necessary to maintain a high temperature and high heating power, so a heating cable with MI mineral insulation and a consistent heating structure was chosen.

The electric heating uses electric heating energy to replenish the heat lost by the heating body in the process to maintain the most acceptable process temperature of the flowing environment The electric heating is uniform along the length of the pipeline or over a large area of the tank volume Heat release, which is different from the electric heating, where the heat load is highly concentrated at one point or over a small area. Electric heating has a small temperature gradient and a long time of thermal stability, which is suitable for long-term use. Many projects in the past have also used thermal insulation methods such as steam and water heating to prevent oil pipelines from being affected. Medium flow due to low temperature. However, all aspects of the effect are not as good as in electric heating.
Take the petrochemical plant in Karamay as an example to see how to choose electric heating cables in the process of asphalt production and transportation. The plant's electric heating system is mainly used in the asphalt tank area, including new and old bitumen oil inlet piping in the trade floor, 800,000 tons per year propane deasphalting inlet pipeline, etc. D.
Since the object of heating is asphalt, it is necessary to maintain a high temperature and high heating power, so a heating cable with MI mineral insulation and a consistent heating structure was chosen.
Mineral Insulated Heating Cable MI has the characteristics of high reliability, high efficiency metal sheath and mineral insulation, high mechanical strength, etc. D. It consists of all inorganic materials, has no aging phenomenon, has a long service life, the maximum maintenance temperature is 600 ℃, explosion-proof and constant power. It is suitable for high temperature and low temperature pipeline equipment requiring high reliability, underground pipelines, long pipelines, etc. D.
Although the one-time investment in electric heating is high, operating costs are significantly reduced and the economic benefits are very significant. In the process of production and transportation of oxidized bitumen raw materials, electric heating has fully shown its characteristics of good handling, high reliability, high efficiency, energy saving and economy.

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.
