Frost protection for utility pipework in
water and waste water treatment plants can be supplied in the form of either
heated or unheated removable jackets. These are produced in both standard and
bespoke forms, and can be fitted around virtually any shape of pipework, pump or
valve.
Using removable, heated or unheated jackets for has several advantages over
traditional trace heating and cladding systems:
- Installation is far quicker, reducing the time that
installers need to work on site.
- Users have easy access for maintenance or repair of
equipment. This is especially useful for pumps, which require maintenance.
Trace heating rarely lasts for more than three removals and cladding is
usually damaged beyond repair after only one or two removals. Inditherm
jackets can easily be removed and replaced multiple times without damage.
- There are no sharp edges, so there is less chance of
personal injury.
- The low voltage power supply is safe, even in wet conditions.
Process Water around Screens
Inditherm has gained valuable experience in heating and insulating the
process water pipework around screens. The energy efficient solution, which also
uses Inditherm's removable jackets, ensures rapid installation and ease of
maintenance.
Sludge Lines
Sewerage sludge transfer lines (STLs) are
notorious for blocking up, especially in areas where there is a high fat content
in the sludge. This necessitates regular jetting out and sometimes the
closure of the sludge digestions system and CHP plant. At best, exposed sludge
lines should be protected and in some cases heated to prevent the build-up of
fatty deposits.
Inditherm's heated removable jackets are an ideal, cost-effective solution to
this problem and can be fitted to pipes of any size. They can melt out the
sludge, reducing its build-up on pipe walls and reducing the need for regular
plant shutdown for pipe cleaning, with its attendant costs, H&S risks and
potential loss of use of CHP and other plant. Improved flow also reduces pumping
costs.
