Direct electrical heating systems

Our direct electrical heating systems are designed for use in flow-line and pipelines to prevent the formation of wax and hydrates, which could slow the stream of hydrocarbons.

Why use direct electrical heating systems?
Direct electric heating system increase and/or maintain temperature in a flow-line either by intermittent or continuous heating, to support flow assurance in a relatively environmentally friendly way.
Core benefits

Application

  • Our direct electrical heating systems are grounded to seawater for safety and reliability reasons
  • Unique cable protection systems (mechanical protection system)
  • Ability to take total system deliveries/responsibilities including topside power
  •  

Features

  • Integrated protection system that automatically protects the subsea equipment
  • Insulted pipes ensure heat is delivered as efficiently as possible
  • As an external part of the flowline, repair and inspection is possible
