WHAT IS ELECTRIC HEAT TRACING
Protect your process
LNG CONFERENCE MOSCOW, MARCH2017
Electric heat tracing protects
critical processes by
maintaining process
temperatures and providing
freeze protection
PENTAIR
WHAT IF HEAT TRACING FAILS
Protect your process, your installation, and your people
LNG CONFERENCE MOSCOW, MARCH2017
Failure will result in frozen equipment, blocked pipes,
production loss, plant shutdown, structural equipment damage,
repair work, safety issues …
PENTAIR
HEAT TRACING DESIGN REQUIRES AN INTEGRATED APPROACH
Integrated approach for lower Total Cost of Ownership
LNG CONFERENCE MOSCOW, MARCH2017
Complete designed systems, including
heating cables and components,
insulation, control & monitoring,
power infrastructure
Multiple engineering disciplines are
involved: process, mechanical, piping,
electrical, instrumentation
PENTAIR
OTHER TYPES OF TRACING INCLUDE STEAM AND FLUID TRACING
Other types of tracing :
• Steam
• Recirculating Fluid
• Hot Oil
• Glycol
Heat tracing is used to maintain temperature of non-flowing fluids by replacing the heat lost through thermal insulation on pipes, vessels and associated equipment
Pentair provides the appropriate technology for the specific application

HEAT TRACING CHALLENGES FOR LARGE PROJECTS IN ARCTIC CLIMATES
3. Extreme cold temperatures affect materials + personnel. • Select reliable, qualified products
• Designs must consider upset conditions (LNG - cryogenics)
Materials and Designs Must Be Compatible with Demanding Applications
LNG CONFERENCE MOSCOW, MARCH2017
4. Many facilities are unmanned + access to equipment is difficult• Limited time & personnel for field interventions
• Advanced control & central monitoring is key for operational reliability with
minimal site intervention
2. Many stakeholders involved from around the world• Global support from pre-FEED to construction phase
• Local support during start-up and operations
1. Project management & Engineering is complex• Large Engineering capacity + standardized work
• Accurate, fast change management + clear progress reports

HEAT TRACING SOLUTIONS FOR YAMAL LNG3. SELECT RELIABLE, QUALIFIED PRODUCTS
• Raychem invented self regulating heat tracing + recognized as a global standard
• Large installed base operational in arctic climates in Russia + globally (offshore/onshore)
• Widest range of heat tracing technologies for all LNG applications
• Products that are exposed to cryogenic exposure are tested and qualified at -170°C
• 2000 km+ of Raychem heat tracing cables on Yamal LNG
Products have to withstand LNG cryogenic exposure
LNG CONFERENCE MOSCOW, MARCH2017
PENTAIR
HEAT TRACING SOLUTIONS FOR YAMAL LNG 4. SMART CONTROL & MONITORING
• We selected local control systems with central monitoring, providing optimal total cost of ownership + highest operational reliability
• 1200 hazardous area electrical field panels + 35 central control & monitoring panels for full visibility from central location
• Real time monitoring, for pro-active maintenance and reduced site activities (real-time data, alarms, history logging, trending, …)
• Flexible, user-friendly programming and adjustments during commissioning and operations
Operational reliability. Full visibility. Less site interventions.

PENTAIR
HEAT TRACING SOLUTIONS FOR YAMAL LNG 4. SMART CONTROL & MONITORING
Unique smart capabilities specifically for this project:
• We developed a remote monitoring device in the field panels, for central monitoring of all electrical circuit breakers on site
• We developed low temperature cut-out limits in our controllers, to switch off heat tracing circuits in case of unforeseen cryogenic LNG exposure, to protect tracing system
Smart control & monitoring = lower risk for installations + less exposure for personnel to arctic conditions
Smart control & monitoring = lower risk for installations and personnel

When harsh arctic conditions call for unmanned plants,
the use of advanced control & monitoring in electrical
heat tracing systems ensures operational reliability of
your process with minimal need for site activities
