Winterization and freeze protection of piping, tanks, and instrumentation is a common requirement in many process plants, particularly those with significant systems in the plant exposed to harsh weather. Freeze protection applies heat to pipes, tanks, or vessels to offset the thermal insulation loss. Heat always transfers from hot to cold. The risk of a freeze-up often gets ignored because the result may not be critical to plant operation or personnel. Safety examples of such applications include drinking water drain lines and effluent systems. However, many other winterization systems can be crucial to personnel safety and plant operation. For example, a major chemical company in North Carolina in the United States once suffered a freeze-up on an electrical heat traced boiler level-sensing instrument line. This small problem cascaded into a boiler shutdown, which led to a freeze-up of the entire plant due to the widely applied steam tracing within the facility. After being down for

 

Incorrectly installed pressure relief devices provide unnecessary safety risks and delay operations when removed or repaired. In an emergency, PRVs are usually the last line of defense. The ASME and the National Board certify all PRV assembly procedures, testing facilities, and technicians. Signs and symbols on pressure relief devices mean the National Board or ASME has approved them as safe.  Tri-State Technical Sales maintains UV and NB assembly and testing certification . We're proud to provide our customers flexible shipping options and high-quality products PRV's at affordable prices. Our partnership with ARI enables us to provide ongoing assistance regardless of the application's complexity.  In addition, Tri-State stocks ARI relief valves to reduce lead times.
