Process Heating Co. Unitized Storage Tank Heaters Provide Controlled Heat for Temperature-Sensitive Materials
Melissa Larson | September 30, 2014
Process Heating Co. offers Lo-Density Unitized Storage Tank Heaters, which can be installed into any above-ground tank or vat and dissipate controlled heat as low as three watts per square inch on the heater’s sheath to prevent coking or damaging of temperature-sensitive material.
Unitized Heaters feature drywell-style elements that reside inside the sheath, making them accessible from outside of the tank and eliminating the need to drain the tank to service the elements. Electric heat offers 100% energy efficiency because all of the energy is used to heat, when compared to the inefficient burning of fossil fuels. Each heating unit is designed for the individual application, and can be customized to meet the specific needs of the manufacturer or user for sheath diameter, number of elements and sheath length, or applications such as extreme temperatures, increased amperage or specialty metals.
Typical materials that benefit from precise, electric, low-watt density heating include asphalt, light and heavy fuel oils, diesel, bio-diesel, glycerin, lube oils, hydraulic fluids, resins/epoxies, animal fats, molasses and other sensitive materials. Electric heat also provides additional environmental benefits, including the elimination of stacks to monitor for emissions as well as no air quality or boiler permits to pursue and maintain.
