Heating jackets keep chemical dosing lines flowing

An Inditherm product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 24, 2005

Inditherm has developed a solution that can heat multiple chemical dosing pipelines inside a single heating jacket.

Inditherm has been supplying the water utility industry for some time and has developed a number of innovative heating and insulation solutions, which offer significant benefits over traditional methods, such as electrical trace heating and fixed insulation and cladding.

One area where there is a strong requirement is heating of certain chemicals used in water purification, some of which can start to thicken or crystallise at temperatures below 16C.

Inditherm has developed a solution that can heat multiple chemical dosing pipelines inside a single heating jacket.

The alternative is to heat and insulate each line individually, which is time consuming and makes later access difficult.

Using Inditherm's solution offers several major benefits, such as rapid installation time, ease of access and maintenance, and significant energy savings.

Based on experience gained from previous contracts, the company has recently launched an improved range of heating jackets for chemical dosing lines.

These come in various widths and consist of a heating element comprising Inditherm's unique, patented carbon polymer technology, mounted on foam insulation and encased in a welded, waterproof outer envelope that can be folded to encase all the pipes.

The cover is secured in place using Velcro and the whole unit placed in standard cable trays or ducts, along with the power supply cables.

Running at 24 to 48V, they are also completely safe and draw very low power.

Inditherm is already an approved supplier to some UK water utilities and their alliance partners under the new asset management programme (AMP4) that is aimed at improving the quality of both drinking water and waste water.

Utilities can save considerable energy and maintenance costs using Inditherm solutions, which also include removable covers for pipework, pumps and chemical storage tanks.
