Often, the functionally safer a system is built, the less reliable it becomes. Part one of this two-part series discussed how to handle independent protection layer alarms. In this article, I’ll demonstrate the concept using the example of a refinery furnace.

When constructing a new canola crushing and oil refining plant capable of processing 2,500 metric tons of canola seed per day, one of the largest Canadian canola producers sought a process heating system capable of mitigating the unavoidable sub-freezing temperatures affecting production during winter.
Check insulation on piping and vessels. Look for damage and susceptible areas that might be exposed to freezing conditions. And replace and add insulation as needed. These are among the steps to take to avoid freezing critical process heating systems in cold weather.
A lack of effective cooling due to heat exchanger failure can cause production losses and unplanned downtime. Fortunately, two common causes of exchanger loss — mechanical failures and chemically induced corrosion — can be prevented.
Heat exchangers are used in many critical processes to protect other valuable manufacturing equipment, optimize energy consumption and reduce associated operating costs. A properly selected, installed and maintained heat exchanger can help enhance the reliability and efficiency of a fluid system.
Designed to provide freeze protection and process temperature maintenance for high power, high exposure industrial heat-tracing applications, Raychem mineral-insulated heating units ensure operational reliability and corrosion resistance in harsh environments.
Boilers are an integral part of the processing industry’s success, providing steam for a variety of manufacturing applications. When a facility boiler goes down for planned maintenance or an upset occurs, the lost production time can be costly.
Designed to protect and warm the contents of containers in hazardous areas, ATEX-certified heaters for drums, IBC tanks and gas bottles can be safely used in hazardous areas.
