Bitumen Transport
Our Electric Heat-Traced Flowline (EHTF) solutions offer efficient Temperature maintenance and shutdown mitigation to keep your bitumen flowing.
Transporting bitumen, Vacuum Tower Bottoms (VTB) or similar high-viscosity fluids requires high temperature pipelines with active heating to ensure flowing conditions and avoid solidification during shutdowns.
- Temperature Management: ensuring flow assurance and preventing bitumen solidification.
- Reheating / Restart: Enabling potential pipeline restart through active heating.
- Safety: Safeguarding against environmental released with double containment systems.
