FREEZE PROTECTION
WASTE WATER TREATMENT FREEZE PROTECTION
Effective solutions to protect wastewater treatment facilities from cold weather
Application
Wastewater treatment facilities are extremely vulnerable to freezing
conditions and other cold weather related problems due to the
amount of exposed tanks, pipelines, mechanical moving parts,
control boxes, etc. within the facility. Common problem areas
include transfer lines, sludge lines, valves, floats, bar screening,
stairs, platforms, and more. If these parts freeze, it can cause
significant downtime, and in some cases damaged equipment.
In many cases, these applications will require hazardous area
approved products.
Solution
For freeze protection on pipes, valves, tanks, and more, install
BriskHeat SLCBL self-regulating heating cable. SLCBL heating
cable is ideal for freeze protection applications because heat
output is self-regulated by ambient conditions and only provides
enough heat necessary to prevent freezing conditions. The cable is
run along and around the areas that need heat to prevent freezing
conditions. It can also be installed around doors, stairs, platforms,
and moving parts as a convenient way to prevent ice from building-
up. SLCBL self-regulating heating cable is approved for use in
hazardous area locations.
For energy efficiency and a longer product life, use Insul-Lock ® DS
foam pipe insulation to wrap around pipes and heater assemblies
where self-regulating cable is installed. The insulation helps to lock
heat in where it is needed to ensure an efficient and reliable freeze
protection system.
To prevent equipment from malfunctioning due to freezing
electronics, the BriskHeat ® TSREH enclosure heaters are installed
inside the control panel. They are silicone heaters with a built-in
on/off controller and mounted onto an aluminum plate. The
heater radiates the necessary amount of heat within the control
box to prevent freezing conditions from occurring. The aluminum
mounting plate has holes pre-drilled onto the flange for easy
installation. Additionally, Insul-EZ peel and stick insulation can be
installed around the control box to decrease heat-loss and further
protect electronics and keep systems operating.
MPC2 Multipoint Control Panels can be used with multiple heating
cables, tapes and blankets to maintain specific temperatures in
different locations.
