How to choose electric heating method for bitumen with high freezing point, residual oil and paraffin oil

To ensure the orderly functioning of the production, public, processing, operational or warehouse process for some special environments, it is necessary to provide measures to compensate for heat from the outside-electric heating.

In the process of industrial production, in order to realize the normal operation of the process and energy saving, most of the hot processing equipment and pipelines need to be isolated. However, heat loss is still inevitable. In some gas pipelines, condensate is formed due to temperature differences, which leads to corrosion of equipment pipeline materials or "hydraulics". The decrease cannot meet technological requirements, and in some environments crystallization occurs due to temperature changes. Temperature reduction, block equipment or pipelines, etc. D., all this creates difficulties in production. Therefore, in order to ensure the orderly functioning of the production, public, technological, operational or warehouse process for some special environments, it is necessary to provide measures to compensate for heat from the outside-electric heating.

Due to the complex environment production conditions in the process pipeline, the choice of heating environment should be carefully studied and carefully considered according to the process conditions when determining the heating system Oil and gas are designed for high freezing temperature environments such as asphalt, residual oil, paraffin oil, etc. D. The correct choice of electric heating method is very important for the normal production of the device.

Electric heating consists in the use of electric heat to compensate for the heat loss of the heated object in technological processes in order to maintain the temperature of the medium.

The main types of electric heating are: induction heating method, direct switching method, and resistance heating method.

Resistive heating products are commonly used in pipeline engineering. This electric heating method uses the principle of resistive heating of the circuit to compensate for the thermal losses of the pipeline.

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.
