What You Need To Know About Trace Heating Services
Electrical trace heating is a crucial factor in the smooth operation of any company. Before you invest in a company that offers industrial services, ensure that they offer quality and well-installed heating systems. By doing so, you can save your company from experiencing any detrimental operational issues and costly production over time.
Temperature Maintenance
Temperature maintenance is the control and regulation of temperature while using temperature-sensitive substances, by-products of heated processes and potentially explosive materials. Trace heating along with thermal insulation with industrial coatings are used to operate ambient temperatures, which satisfy the thermal balance. Thermal balance is a condition where the heat output from trace heat systems is equal to the heat lost from the pipes.
Following are the innovative solutions for temperature maintenance:
· Process equipment: including boilers, the balance of plant
· Process pipe work: including transfer lines
· Fuel oil and gas lines
· Storage equipment: which includes tanks, vessels, silos
· Instrumentation: pumps, valves, nozzles etc.
· Ash handling: for cyclones, hoppers, and related equipment.
Frost Protection
Frost protection systems are installed to prevent unnecessary damage costs and expensive machine breakdowns and reduce the risk of injury to your workers and the public. Trace heating for frost protection works to maintain the temperature above the freezing point by maintaining the balance between the heat losses with the supplied heat.
It is applied to the following:
● Water supplies: including fire water circuits, chilled water supply (CWS)
● Process equipment
● Storage equipment: which includes tanks, vessels, silos
● Instrumentation: including pumps and valves
● External decontamination showers
● Process piping: for frost prevention/ condensation
● Footpaths and walkways.
Industrial coatings
Industrial coatings and specialist linings are used to increase the lifetime and to improve the asset’s integrity. It helps in preventing unnecessary extra maintenance and, ultimately, reducing operational and asset future expenditures. Industrial Coatings companies offer services ranging from abrasion, impact, erosion & corrosion-resistant coating systems.
Types of Industrial Coatings services include:
· Protective Coatings & Specialist Linings help in protecting and prolonging the lifespan of the equipment. It’s helpful in preventing any unnecessary expenditure on maintenance.
· Concrete Protection- concrete can also be used to coat the bund wall that surrounds a bulk storage tank. It acts as a protective barrier to keep the split substance within the bund wall.
· Floor Coatings- There is a number of specialist coatings available for floor applications, such as epoxy coatings and hygienic grade coatings. Look for a company that offers surface preparation capabilities in-house so that you can stick to one contractor for your entire project.
· Industrial coating of site facility includes off-site surface preparation with the help of different types of coatings and specialist linings, by roller, brush or spray gun application, such as ducting sections, vessels, tanks, incinerators, pipe spools and structural steels.
· Industrial Painting & Decoration involves innovative solutions developed to improve your business and increase your equipment’s lifetime.
· Passive Fire Protection (PFP) coatings are an essential application across the power, oil & gas and processing industrial sectors. When the coatings are exposed to high temperatures for extended periods, the coatings expand into an insulating layer to limit the heat transfer between the substrate and the heat source.
· Surface Protection improves the performance of the coating and prolongs its lifetime.
