Oil and gas pipelines are the main part of the offshore platform construction project. During long-term operation of the pipeline, in conditions of severe external weather and other weather conditions, the operational condition of the pipeline will be affected to varying degrees, therefore, the gas oil pipeline must be isolated.
At present, the oil, gas and water pipelines of offshore oil platforms mainly use heat preservation in the heat preservation environment and electric heating. In special cases, these two forms of heat preservation can be used together. The first is mainly based on the low thermal conductivity of the insulating medium (for example, mineral wool, glass wool, rubber and foam, etc. E.) to reduce the heat loss of fluid in the pipeline.
Volume lost; the latter uses electrical energy to replenish heat lost by the medium in the pipeline during the process, so that its temperature can be maintained within the most acceptable range of process temperatures. 、 From the according to the to-the-from-to-the-the-in position 不 不达达不 保olev to the "with a. bts"

The surface of the pipeline to be laid shall be cleaned of oil, foreign inclusions and sharp edges and corners, and if any, shall be sanded to smoothness and then coated with aluminum foil. It is forbidden to cross or overlap the laying of electric heating cables to prevent overheating and affect the service life. Due to the presence of pipe joints, shut-off valves, etc. The actual length of the electric heating cable to be laid will be slightly more than the calculated one, so there should be a margin along its length, as a rule, in the range of 5%-10%.
The insulation resistance must be measured before installation, and its value must be at least 10 Mhm, and the test run can only be performed if the resistance core is certified. Before the test start, check the wiring of each functional switch of the electrical control cabinet and start it for 1 hour, and the insulation of the pipeline can only be performed if there are no violations in the operation of all departments.
The temperature sensor and measurement probe should be placed at the lowest temperature point at the top of the pipe, attached only to the outer wall of the measured pipe, fixed with an aluminum foil tape, and should not touch the heating cable. At the same time away from the heating organ more than 1 m.

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.
