Case Study: a major chemical processing company in Utah achieves reliable tank heating with Valin Corporation's process heating solution

a major chemical processing company in Utah keeps two tanks at 170F with Valin Corporation

A major chemical processing company in Utah faced a challenge maintaining two oil holding tanks at a precise 170°F for its expansion project. The customer's engineering firm had recommended an in-line immersion heater, but Valin Corporation expressed serious concerns about the high watt density causing the viscous F300 oil to coke and ruin the heater elements.

Valin's solution was to specify a lower watt density NWHO-style heater, which prevented coking and premature failure. The vendor also convinced the customer to use its electric heat tracing on the recirculation and railcar offload piping. As a result of its thoroughness and expertise, Valin secured the order without a competitive bid and became the customer's go-to resource for heating solutions.
