Heat Tracing

Heat Tracing for Poly Tanks involves attaching heating panels to the outside of the tank. The panels maintain the liquid in the tank at a minimum temperature. The size and power of the panels is custom calculated based on the size of the tank, the location where the tank will be placed in service, the chemical storage application and the desired maintenance temperature.

Heat Tracing is always used in combination with polyurethane foam insulation. Once the heat tracing panels are attached to the tank, the insulation is blown on over the panels and the mastic coating is applied.

A NEMA-4 control box is attached to the outside of a tank that has heat tracing panels. The controls allow for changes in the temperature settings as well as control of the alarm settings that can be used. Heat tracing requires AC power.
