Typical early applications included the electric tracing of transfer lines for oil, asphalt, chemical products and waxes.
Electric tracing proved especially useful for long runs of pipe.
|
|
Heating for hoppers and silos. |
|
|
Freeze protection of piped water. |
|
|
Preventing moisture from condensing out of piped natural gas. |
|
|
Low-viscosity maintenance of pumped fluids including petroleum products, vegetable oils, polymeric and resinous materials and aqueous concentrates and slurries. |
|
|
Avoidance of condensation and subsequent improper burning of fuel gas in refineries. |
|
|
Transfer of molten process chemicals such as phosphoric acid, sulphur and p-xylene. |
|
|
Preventing freezing of control valves and compressor damage. |
|
|
Eliminating pipeline corrosion due to wet hydrogen sulphide resulting from condensed moisture. |
