How to choose an electric heating cable for a gas production plant in a gas field

Many gas fields of the Tarim oil field are located in uninhabited desert areas, and the winter here is very cold, with an extreme minimum temperature of-28 ° C. In order to avoid accidents, it is necessary to carry out antifreeze and heat preservation treatment of devices, meters and related pipelines (i. e. E. Install the electric heating system). Air, primary pressure valves, differential pressure, flow, etc., impression tubes and transmitters, etc.

The Tarim Oil Field accelerated the development and construction of the Hetianhe, Kekeya, Akimu and other gas fields, allowing people in the resource areas to play a leading role in benefiting from oil and gas exploration and development. At present, daily natural gas supplies from the Tarim field to southern Xinjiang account for 1/5 of the total exports.

Many of the gas fields of the Tarim oil field are located in uninhabited desert areas, and the winter here is very cold, with an extreme minimum temperature of-28 °C. Cold climatic conditions cause great inconvenience in the production and operation of natural gas pretreatment plants, especially automatic control devices and meters on site are largely dependent on ambient temperature. If the temperature is too low, it can cause freezing and solidification of the measuring pipelines. In order to avoid accidents, it is necessary to carry out antifreeze and heat preservation treatment of devices, meters and related pipelines (i. e. E. Install the electric heating system). Air, primary pressure valves, differential pressure, flow, etc., impression tubes and transmitters, etc.

Currently, thermal insulation techniques commonly used in oil and gas fields mainly include electric heating and steam heating. The Tarim gas field mainly uses electric heating technology, and electric heating systems are installed in many places at the pretreatment plant to provide equipment and appliances at the thermal insulation station.

Electrothermal insulation technology is a heating technology that directly converts electrical energy into thermal energy. The electric heating system mainly consists of an electric heating system, an insulation layer and a waterproof layer. The electric heating system includes a power switch, thermostat, temperature sensor, electric heating wire and connecting box, compensates for the heat loss of equipment through direct or indirect heat exchange to compensate for the increase in temperature. Insulation or antifreeze requirements.

The design workload of the electric heating system is small, the design is convenient and simple, and the maintenance is small; the device is simple, the heating is uniform, the temperature control is accurate, and it can be controlled remotely and remotely. Controlled to realize automatic control, has high efficiency and can greatly reduce energy consumption, explosion-proof, all-weather, high reliability and long service life, avoids waste steel and water resources, saves environmental protection materials; no leakage, which is conducive to environmental protection.

The electric heating model selected by the pre-treatment installation is a constant-power parallel belt electric heating HBL2(Q)-J3-30, that is, the voltage level is 220 V and the power per meter is 30 W, and the thermostat design temperature is 20 degrees Celsius. Selection principles include: the choice of the heating resistance class and the heating temperature class of the electric heating tape depending on the operating temperature and the maximum operating temperature of the pipeline or equipment; the power and length of the unit.

The technical means of electric heating and heat preservation mainly include: gas field water, oil condensate, operational sewerage, household sewerage, prevention and control, household water and other land pipelines, fittings, key, installed pressure gauges, pressure sensors, pressure pipe. Sections, side mounted radar level gauge, magnetic float level gauge, pipe gauge, etc.

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.
