heat loss, time to freeze, fluid outlet temperature, minimum flow rates, tracing wattage required, heat gain, etc., all based on the specific requirements of each project. Basic information needed for typical heat trace design includes: project name/location; minimum ambient temperature; above and/or below ground; depth…
READ MOREHow does the glycol protect the loop from freezing?Pure water freezes at 32° F, but a 60% solution of ethylene glycol pushes the freezing point down to -60° F. While the freezing point of pure glycol is only -39° F, the synergy between glycol…
READ MOREHeat tracing is the generic term which refers to the application of heat to a pipeline or vessel to prevent freezing, to thaw frozen fluid, to maintain viscosity or temperature of a fluid, or for other reasons such as to keep components from separating or…
READ MOREmidstream gas transportation company with activity in the Rocky Mountains maintain portions of their pipeline that are in places without access to utility grid power. In order to provide electrical power to their essential corrosion prevention equipment, such as their ICCP (Impressed Current Cathodic Protection)…
READ MOREQnergy’s Smartgen power solution is specifically designed toprovide seamless and extremely reliable power generation toremote locations. With multiple configurable and controllableoutputs, the Smartgen was programmed to output 240Vac(single-phase) electric power to provide charging services toa BNSF Signal Control room. Its smart logic was programmedto only…
READ MOREThe Smartgen was installed and commissioned at a remote site in British Colombia, Canada. It was placedadjacent to the Metering station and is fueled by pipeline gas. It is coupled directly to the control roomelectrical panel with both the 24 VDC and 208 VAC /…
READ MOREOver 280 communities in Canada–home to approximately 200 000 people–are not connected to the North American electrical grid and natural gas distribution pipeline systems. These remote, or off-grid, communities primarily rely on expensive diesel-fired generation, while others rely on smaller local or regional electricity grids based…
