The chemical company's melamine plant decided to update the valves and pipelines of the melamine reactor with a high-temperature electrical system.
According to the technological requirements, under normal operating conditions, the temperature of the rebar of the reactor and pipelines is maintained at 380 ± 5 °C. Therefore, our mineral insulated heating cables have been selected for temperature compensation. Mineral insulated heating cables consist of a metal core (heating body), the core is tightly surrounded by mineral magnesium oxide (insulation layer) and a metal tube (usually made of copper, steel, or stainless steel, 316L), which has been subjected to multiple drawing, alloy 825, etc.). Our mineral insulated heating cables have a maximum operating temperature of 600 °C and a maximum thermal resistance of 800 °C.
After professional engineering design, the estimated thermal losses of the main and auxiliary pipelines at the outlet of the triamine reactor are 383.3 W/m and 193.9 W/m, respectively. It is secured with stainless steel ties to enhance heat transfer, and the outside is covered with a layer of stainless steel mesh, and the insulation thickness of the magnesium silicate shell is 70mm. This scheme does not use thermally conductive cement and aluminum foil, mainly taking into account the fact that local overheating of the high-temperature heating main will lead to damage to the pipeline. The electric heating scheme of the pipeline fully uses the original electrical control system, including the main circuit, leakage protection in the control system of the RSU, etc. D.
The conversion was completed on March 20, 2012. The temperature required for the reactor and pipeline valve is regulated by the DCS instrument. The temperature inside the valve reaches 380 °C, and during the trial run it reaches 420 °C. Increase the installation temperature during start-up, stop and emergency conditions, reduce the temperature setting value accordingly during normal operation. After more than a year of operation, the valve heaters and pipeline heat pipelines operate stably and reliably, fully meeting the needs of production and achieving the goal of technical conversion.

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.
