Gas & Oil
Secondary oil recovery requires heated steam to extract thicker deposits or deeper reserves. Mineral Insulating (MI) cable is a perfect high-temperature, outdoor heating solution used in the Oil
& Gas industry. Oil companies often require freeze protection for their pipelines containing oil and other liquid by products. To protect these lines, they use BriskHeat’s self-regulating heating cable. It is easy-to-install, extremely rugged, has long circuit lengths up to 660 ft (201 m) and rated for use in hazardous areas. They may use silicone rubber blankets and custom cloth heating jackets on vessels for viscosity control. Heating tapes and cables are also used to prevent condensation in gas lines.
APPLICATIONS
FREEZE PROTECTION FOR PIPES
Animal owners such as farmers and ranchers need to make sure their animals, which often spend a considerable amount of time outdoors, have water to drink.
FREEZE PROTECTION FOR TANKS
Tanks and vessels (we will call "tanks") are often exposed to cold weather. Some are sitting outside, while others may be in an unheated area of a building.
FREEZE PROTECTION FOR CONTROL PANELS
Electronic components inside control panels and monitoring devices need protected from cold temperatures.
IBC / TOTE WARMING
Users of Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC) often need to raise the temperature to reduce viscosity or protect the contents from the cold. Maintaining an elevated temperature ensures materials remain ready for production and easy to dispense.
ROOF & GUTTER ICE DAM PREVENTION
During cold winter months ice dams form on the edge of rooftops and cause significant roof damage along with safety hazards from falling ice.
SCIENTIFIC ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTATION
In many Research & Development and Laboratory applications, surface heat is required to successfully conduct experiments and tests. The heat may be required for a number of reasons.
EMERGENCY DE-ICING AND FREEZE PROTECTION
The cold weather can wreak havoc on exposed valves, pumps, pipes, bearings, filter housing, and other industrial objects. When these parts freeze, they typically become unusable, and in extreme conditions damaged.
PREHEATING AND WELDING STEEL
The cold weather can wreak havoc on exposed valves, pumps, pipes, bearings, filter housing, and other industrial objects. When these parts freeze, they typically become unusable, and in extreme conditions damaged.
