Characteristics of chemical storage and transportation heating system heating and adaptation requirements for electric heating
Compared with steam heating, electric heating has the best energy-saving effect, it is easy to centralize and accurately control. Thus, at present, the use of electric heating to realize centralized heating of pipelines with materials in storage and transportation systems is the main direction.

The utility engineering conditions necessary for the electric heating of pipelines in the factory area of chemical enterprises are complete, and the heating methods are flexible and varied depending on the conditions of the facility, but the warehouse and transport systems of enterprises are often located in the periphery of the plant or in remote areas, as well as public engineering facilities not completed Inspection and maintenance management is difficult. Compared with steam heating, electric heating has the best energy-saving effect, it is easy to concentrate and accurately control. Thus, at present, the use of electric heating to realize centralized heating of pipelines with materials in storage and transportation systems is the main direction.

The storage and transportation production is an intermittent operation, and the material conveyor transportation process has many dynamic changes. The same material storage and transport system sometimes supplies, sometimes receives, and sometimes does not require heating, because the temperature of the material being transported exceeds the heat. Tracking the control temperature. Thus, temperature control has higher requirements for the operation of electric heating, and there are more opportunities for energy-saving optimization of temperature control.
Heating Characteristics of the Chemical Storage and Transportation System
The purpose of heating the pipeline in the storage and transportation system is mainly to prevent freezing and prevent the formation of condensate. If the heating system fails and shuts down, the pipeline will not freeze during the production interval and the pipeline will be static and the raw materials and products of the commercial plant will be transported.
There are many kinds of materials stored and transported in the chemical storage and transportation system, and each material system is independent, the material is of a different kind, and the temperature controlled by the electric heating is different, resulting in a complex power source. Scheme.
There are many pipe sections in the tank area of the chemical storage and transport system, the length of the pipe is short, and the heating temperature of each pipe section varies greatly, while the pipe sections outside the tank area are generally long, even several thousand meters long.

Requirements for the organization of warehouse and transport production of electric heating system
According to the characteristics of warehouse and transport production, it is necessary to take advantage of the powerful advantages of DCS and other centralized detection and control systems of electric heating in order to solve the difficulties associated with frequent start-up and stop of electric heating. caused by a large number of heaters. Circuits, non-constant electric heating temperature and dynamic pipeline network.
Heating cable should be selected with accurate temperature control.
Electric heating cables must meet the requirements of intuitive fault response, easy search for fault points, and fast fault handling.

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.
