RAPID-ESP-HT
Neste Oil Oyj operates their largest refinery in Porvoo, Finland. Jabitherm pre-insulated pipes have been used since 2005. Many of those installations are safetyrelated fire exstinguishing systems. They needed to be trace heated due to enviromental conditions. For this specific application the pre-insulated pipes series RAPID-ESP-HT with a nominal width of 400mm were installed. Trace heated pre-insulated pipes are assembled at Jabitherm's factory with conduits for heating cable, skineffect systems or hot water operated systems. After the installation of pre-insulated pipes, heating cables or tape can be easily inserted and pulled through the conduits.
Trace heating
Heating cable runs of between 800 and 1000 m were realised without any cable joint at this refinery in Porvoo. Piping systems that need to be heated require appropriate empty pipes for the trace heating cables. Jabitherm Rohrsysteme AG integrates these into the existing insulation structure during production. Once the pipeline has been installed, the trace heating can be quickly and easily pulled into the empty pipes. The RAPID-ESP-HT system is used here.
