Design and Manufacture of High-Efficiency Heating Elements

Currently, oil-based and electric heating systems are widely used for bitumen heating. Both types require complex and precise design. Incorrect selection of system parameters and heating elements can lead to reduced efficiency and increased energy consumption, disrupting the production process and raising product costs. Poor system design can also degrade bitumen quality during heating, negatively affecting the durability and performance characteristics of the final product.

Designing heating systems for bitumen equipment involves more than just calculating basic parameters such as heat transfer area and heating element capacity. Critical aspects also include the configuration and layout of the heaters, surface power density, heat transfer fluid velocity and flow rate, surface temperature, and more. Designing heating systems for large-volume tanks — such as vertical aboveground and pit bitumen storage tanks — is especially difficult.

Specialists of "EBT" LLC provide consulting support, design and manufacturing services for heating systems and bitumen heaters.

Our services include:

- determining the required bitumen heater performance based on the equipment's technological requirements;

- developing the layout and configuration of the bitumen heating system;

- selecting optimal coolant flow modes to ensure efficient heat transfer and minimize pump load;

- developing recommendations for managing the bitumen heating system, including detailed equipment operation guidelines;

- comparative assessment of various options (systems and modes) for heating bitumen, etc.
