The production process of a coking plant involves many process links that need to maintain temperature, and heat tracing is an electric heating equipment that can provide stable heat, and it has been widely used in coking plants. Here are some of the specific application scenarios of heat tracing in coking plants.
1.Tar pipeline heating: Tar is one of the main products of the coking plant, and during the tar pipeline transportation process, a certain temperature needs to be maintained to prevent tar condensation. The heat trace can be wound around the tar pipe, providing it with stable heating and ensuring the flow of the tar.
2.Gas pipeline insulation: Gas is generated during the production process of the coking plant, and the gas pipeline needs to be insulated to prevent gas cooling and condensation. Heat tracing can be installed outside the gas pipe to provide constant heat and maintain the temperature of the gas.
3.Heating of chemical feedstocks: Coking plants involve the processing and handling of many chemical feedstocks, which can only be reacted or separated at specific temperatures. Heat tracing can be used to heat storage tanks, reactors and other equipment for chemical raw materials to meet process requirements.
4.Storage tank heating: There are many storage tanks for storing liquids in the coking plant, such as tar storage tanks, ammonia storage tanks, etc. At low temperatures, these liquids may freeze or crystallize, affecting normal storage and delivery. The heat trace can be wrapped around the outer wall of the tank, providing it with heat and preventing the liquid from freezing.
5.Equipment anti-freezing: Some equipment in the coking plant may be frost damaged in the cold winter, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Heat tracing can be installed in the inlet and outlet pipes, pumps, valves, etc. of the equipment to provide freeze protection.
6.Coking wastewater treatment: The wastewater needs to be heated in the coking wastewater treatment process to improve the treatment effect. Heat tracing can be used to heat wastewater pipes and treatment equipment to maintain the proper temperature.
It should be noted that in practical applications, the selection and installation of heat tracing should be designed according to specific scenarios and requirements to ensure its safe, reliable and efficient operation. At the same time, the relevant installation and use specifications should be followed, and regular maintenance and inspection should be carried out to ensure the normal operation of the heat tracing.
