Kuwait Sludge separation project on steam heating design description:

In order to better separate the oil in the mud and sand, steam heating is added to the system in combination with the physical properties of the oil. Oil and water are also more likely to separate at higher temperatures.

The heating of the whole system mainly relies on the steam generated by the steam boiler to heat the normal temperature materials and the water used for subsequent sand washing. Different working conditions require heating temperature requirements are also different.

The calculation of the heat required for heating is based on the law of conservation of heat. That's the amount of heat that materials and water need to heat up. The heat here refers to the consumption, that is, the maintenance temperature of the material and water. So the whole system only needs to maintain the amount of heat it consumes. The heating coil is generally selected 304 stainless steel seamless steel pipe. The amount of coil is calculated according to heat transfer and heat transfer area.

In order to have a more significant heating effect, it is necessary to pay attention to the travel of the heating coil cannot be too far. On the contrary, we can conclude that if the cooling effect is obvious, the travel of the cooling coil should not be too short.
