ASTANA, Kazakhstan, July 17. Inductive-conductive electric heating systems have been installed at the production facilities of the emergency recovery point Priirtyshsk of the Pavlodar oil pipeline Department of KazTransOil (Kazakhstan's national operator of the main oil pipeline), the company told Trend.
According to KazTransOil, installing these systems will reduce operating costs by 38.4 million tenge (about $80,000) per year. Thanks to these systems, a zero level of emission of pollutants into the atmosphere associated with the heating of production facilities at the Priirtyshsk emergency recovery center has been achieved.
Before the introduction of inductive-conductive electric heaters, a boiler house running on liquid fuel supplied heat to the production facilities of the emergency recovery point Priirtyshsk of the Pavlodar oil pipeline Department of KazTransOil.
As the company noted, currently, heating the production facilities of KazTransOil with inductive-conductive electric heaters is carried out only at the emergency recovery point in Priirtyshsk.
To note, KazTransOil is the national operator of the main oil pipeline in Kazakhstan. It is a part of the KazMunayGas group (a national oil and gas company) and owns a diversified network of main oil pipelines with a length of 5,400 kilometers.
