Skid-Mounted Electric Circulation Heating System

Packaged circulation heating

The Skid-Mounted Electric Circulation Heating System combines an electric heater, circulating pump, make-up water tank and control cabinet on a common base. It supplies heated circulating water to oil storage tank coils or radiator circuits, then reheats the returning water to maintain the required heat supply.

Designed for well sites and oilfield facilities, this packaged electric heating skid can serve locations with limited fuel-gas availability. XGTHERMAL coordinates the heater, pump, piping and controls around the connected heating load. In tank-coil service, the circulating water transfers heat to the stored oil through the coil wall.

XGTHERMAL skid-mounted electric circulation heating system for oilfield tank-coil heating
Circulating Heat Supply Heated water supplied to tank coils or radiators and returned for reheating
Heater + Pump + Tank Heating, circulation and make-up water equipment integrated on one base
Coordinated Controls Temperature regulation linked to pump operation, flow and water level
Typical applications

Built for tank coils and circulating-water heating.

This system is used where heat must be delivered through a circulating-water circuit. The connected tank coils, radiators or heating branches determine the required duty, supply temperature, circulation flow and pump head.

Oil storage tank coil heating

Transfers heat through existing or project-selected coils to help maintain stored oil temperature.

Single-well tank heating

Provides a packaged heat source for well-site tanks served by a circulating-water circuit.

Sites with limited fuel gas

Offers an electric heating option where fuel gas is unavailable or insufficient and site power is suitable.

Radiator and facility heating

Supplies heated water to compatible radiator circuits at oilfield facilities.

Existing heating-circuit upgrades

Integrates heating and circulation equipment for retrofit projects after reviewing existing coils, piping and power capacity.

Heating challenges

Match the heat source to the whole circuit.

A heater alone does not establish a working heat-supply system. The pump must move sufficient water through the external circuit, the connected coils must transfer the heat, and the controls must coordinate temperature, flow and water level. These requirements are reviewed together.

Process challenge Heat demand across an external circuit

Tank coils and radiators need the right water temperature and flow to deliver the required heat.

XGTHERMAL design focus Coordinated heater and pump selection

Heating power, circulation flow and pump head are matched to the connected load and piping resistance.

Operational risk Loss of circulation or water

Pump failure, low flow or low water level can interrupt heat delivery and cause abnormal heater temperatures.

  • Electrical capacity and the connected coil or radiator duty set practical limits on package selection.
  • Water quality, scaling tendency, insulation and winter freeze protection are reviewed for the circulation circuit.
  • Pump and heater sequencing, expansion allowance and system pressure protection are defined together.
Integrated electric heating skid with circulation and control equipment
Engineering design

One package, coordinated with your supply and return circuit.

The circulation pump moves water through the electric heater and out to the connected heating circuit. After releasing heat through tank coils or radiators, the water returns to the skid. The make-up water tank supports replenishment, while expansion, venting and pressure protection are selected for the final circuit arrangement.

  • Pump flow and head selected from the complete circuit requirements
  • Make-up water tank arrangement and liquid-level monitoring matched to the circuit
  • Heater, piping, valves, instruments and control equipment assembled on a common skid
  • Supply and return connections, electrical feed and site signals defined during engineering
Control and protection

Coordinate circulation, heating and protective shutdown.

The control system coordinates circulation and heating rather than treating them as separate devices. Heating is enabled only when the specified operating conditions are satisfied. Automatic temperature control and alarm reporting support reduced routine operator intervention, with inspection and maintenance still required.

Supply-temperature control

Supply-water temperature feedback regulates heat input against the circuit setpoint.

Pump and heater sequencing

Circulation is established before heating is enabled; stop and cooldown sequences follow the selected design.

Low-flow and low-level protection

Insufficient circulation or water level can inhibit heating and initiate an alarm or shutdown.

Independent temperature and electrical protection

High-limit temperature protection, pump overload and electrical-fault trips complement normal control. Pressure protection is selected for the complete circuit.

Sizing & RFQ Guidance

How to Specify a Circulation Heating Skid

Start with the heat required by the connected tanks or radiators. Circulation flow and the supply-to-return temperature difference establish the heat carried by the water. Final selection also checks warm-up time, distribution losses, coil capacity, pump head and the pressure limits of the complete circuit.

Technical FAQ

Common engineering questions.

How is this different from a circulation heater alone?

A circulation heater is the heating component. This electric heating skid adds the circulating pump, make-up water tank, piping and controls needed to serve an external heating circuit. Buyers may also describe it as a packaged hot-water heating skid or an electric circulation heating unit.

Does crude oil circulate through this skid?

In the tank-coil arrangement described here, water circulates through the skid and the storage tank coils; the oil remains in the tank. Direct crude oil heating and oil-water-gas process heating are different duties and require a separate equipment selection.

How are the circulating pump flow and head selected?

Pump flow is matched to the required heat transport and the permitted supply-to-return temperature difference. Pump head is determined from the heater, external piping, valves and coil resistance. Static head and suction conditions also need review according to the circuit arrangement.

Can it replace a gas-fired tank heating system?

It can be evaluated as an electric alternative where a suitable water circuit and sufficient electrical capacity are available. Selection must check the existing coil duty, site power supply and operating schedule. Energy cost depends on local electricity and fuel prices, so savings are assessed for each project.

Do you manufacture electric heating skids in China?

Yes. XGTHERMAL is a China-based manufacturer of skid-mounted electric heating systems for oilfield applications. We support package configuration, coordinated controls, fabrication and project documentation for domestic and overseas customers.

What certification documents can be supported?

Project documentation can be prepared around IEC 60079 / GB/T 3836 hazardous-area requirements, NDT, material certificates, FAT records and, where required, project-specific ATEX, IECEx, EAC or JIP33 alignment discussions.
