Installation method of electric heating cable for oil tank drying pipeline
The northern oil depot uses antifreeze methods and passively drills oil tanks many times a day. Not only is the labor intensity high, it will also cause loss of oil products and environmental pollution. If you are not careful, it will also lead to accidents with frost damage. At present, a more popular method of heat preservation is the electric heating cable using electric heating.

Generally, new vertical metal oil tanks are provided with drainage holes for drainage pipes at the bottom of the pipes. The dehumidifier tube is below the bottom of the oil tank, which is the lowest point of the entire oil tank. Due to oil products stored in oil depots, large and small breaths are taken during storage and transportation, and old products are loaded from an oil refinery (vessel) for the entire process of dragging to the oil depot for unloading into an oil tank, a certain amount of water must be poured into the tube. Even if there is a small amount of water in the tube, it will accumulate in the dehydration tube. Under the low temperature conditions in the north, the water accumulated in the dehumidifier tank and the dehumidifier valve will gradually freeze, and as the ambient temperature decreases, the volume of ice accumulated in the pipe will gradually increase at a certain temperature, which will easily lead to cracks in the pipeline and fittings. In this case, an oil spill accident occurs, entailing grave consequences.

The selection and installation of electric heating products is relatively convenient. The oil base can choose the corresponding specification, model and installation method according to the actual situation. Its power consumption, design, equipment, construction, installation, operation and maintenance account for only one-tenth of the cost of other heating methods.
When installing electric heating of pipelines and oil tank drying valves, the electric heating belt should be uniformly attached to the surface of the pipe and valve, and the electric heating belt should be routed as far as possible at an angle of 45 ° below the pipe, so that the thermal field is uniform and fixed. After all the wiring is completed, the electrical insulation of the system should be checked. After passing the test, a test run can be carried out. After 4 hours of switching on, if no abnormality is detected, the insulation of the pipeline can be carried out. The dehydration pipeline is neat and uniform after heat preservation. Beautiful and generous, it can complement the harsh winter cold, ensure that the oil tank can survive the winter safely, and avoid freezing and damage problems of equipment.

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.
