Pipeline Preheating Case Study for Energy Project – Sunward Intelligent

Project Background

 

In energy projects, pipelines need welding.

 

Before welding, the pipe must be heated.

 

In this project, Sunward Intelligent was working on pipeline installation.

 

They needed a stable way to heat the pipe before welding.

 

The Problem on Site

 

The team used gas flame to heat the pipe.

This caused several problems:

  • The temperature was not even
  • Different workers got different results
  • The flame was not safe
  • The process was slow

These problems affected both quality and progress.

 

Customer Needs

 

The customer wanted a better way.

They needed:

  • Faster heating
  • Stable temperature
  • Safer working method
  • Easy use on site

 

Our Solution

 

We suggested using an induction heating system.

We provided:

  • 60KW air-cooled induction heater
  • Flexible heating belts
  • The system can be set up quickly.
  • It can also adjust power during use.

 

On-Site Application

 

The system was used on the pipeline:

  • Pipe diameter: about 600 mm
  • Heating width: about 300 mm
  • Target temperature: 300°C

After setup, the system started working on site.

 

Results

 

Induction Heating gave stable heating during use.
