Heated Loading Arms

Heated Loading Arms

Loading of highly viscous product is most challenging during transfer to tank trucks or rail cars.
Heated Loading Arms are specially designed to keep fluids flowing when ambient temperatures are low or the liquid is with highly viscous,such as Bitumen, Asphalt, Molten Sulphur, etc, The high viscous products require heating to assist transfer easily.
Heat traced top loading arms are highly recommended for handling transfer viscous products.

Description

Loading of highly viscous product is most challenging during transfer to tank trucks or rail cars,

Heated Loading Arms are specially designed to keep fluids flowing when ambient temperatures are low or the liquid is with highly viscous,such as Bitumen, Asphalt, Molten Sulphur, etc, The high viscous products require heating to assist transfer easily.

Heated loading arm,also know as loading arm with heat tracing, it can be used in various industries where materials need to be loaded or unloaded at high temperatures. They are commonly used in the petroleum, chemical, and food processing industries.

In the petroleum industry,heated loading arms are used to transfer crude oil, asphalt, or other viscous liquids from storage tanks to trucks or railcars. The heated loading arm maintains a consistent temperature to prevent the material from solidifying or clogging the transfer lines.

In the chemical industry, loading arms with heat tracing can be used to transfer molten sulfur, caustic soda, or other hazardous materials. The heated arm ensures that the materials stay in a liquid state during transfer, reducing the risk of accidents or spills.

In the food processing industry, heated loading arms can be used to transfer products like chocolate, molasses, or syrup. The heated arm keeps the products at a consistent temperature during the transfer process, maintaining the quality and viscosity of the product.

Ways of heat tracing can be:

 

There are several ways that a heated loading arm can maintain the temperature of the material being transferred.

Electric Heating: An electric heating system uses electrical resistance to generate heat in the loading arm. The arm is fitted with electric heating elements, which can be controlled by a temperature controller to maintain a specific temperature.

 

Steam Heating: A steam heating system uses steam to heat the loading arm. The arm is fitted with a steam jacket, which is connected to a steam supply. The steam flows through the jacket, heating the material being transferred.

 

Hot Water Heating: A hot water heating system uses hot water to heat the loading arm. The arm is fitted with a water jacket, which is connected to a hot water supply. The hot water flows through the jacket, heating the material being transferred.

 

Thermal Oil Heating: A thermal oil heating system uses a heat transfer fluid to heat the loading arm. The arm is fitted with a thermal oil jacket, which is connected to a thermal oil heater. The thermal oil flows through the jacket, heating the material being transferred.

 

The choice of heating system will depend on the specific application and the properties of the material being transferred. Factors such as the required temperature, the viscosity of the material, and the safety requirements will all be taken into consideration when selecting the appropriate heating system for a heated loading arm.
