Bitumen Heating
Bitumen Trace Heating Pipework
Cross Electrical (Nottingham) Ltd specialise in the design, installation and maintenance of bitumen trace heating systems for storage, handling and processing facilities throughout the UK and overseas.
Having successfully installed Trace Heating systems for a broad range of applications to the industry, we offer a complete service regarding the trace heating of handling and processing Bitumen in its liquid state.
Bitumen Trace Heating
System Design
Liaising with all clients, we listen closely to their individual requirements, offering practical advice regarding the temperature control of pipework, intended for the management
and handling of liquid Bitumen.
Our design engineers understand the importance of supplying a reliable, safe and maintenance free temperature control system. One that comprises heating cable, thermal insulation and temperature controllers to ensure Bitumen can flow freely at all times, without solidifying or blocking the pipework between storage vessels and delivery points.
Next day delivery service
For those clients with established Bitumen processing facilities, we offer a next day delivery service, providing fully terminated trace heating units from our range of XSSTC, heavy duty stainless steel sheathed heating cables.
Alternatively we offer our standard range of XSS/SC stainless steel sheathed heating cables or our XCN/SC cupro-nickel sheathed heating cables.
These fully terminated heating units can be installed by the client’s own pre-approved engineers.
At Cross Electrical (Nottingham) Ltd, we aim to deliver newly designed or replacement heating units on a next day service whenever possible.
