ELECTRICAL HEAT TRACING
Electrical trace heating systems play a pivotal role in protecting critical infrastructure across various industries. From preserving process integrity in industrial plants to preventing freeze-related damage in domestic settings, SMUVE’s solutions are meticulously engineered to keep your operations running smoothly, safely, and sustainably.
At SMUVE, we understand that when equipment must be shielded from freezing or when uninterrupted liquid flow is essential, only the highest design standards will suffice. That’s why our trace heating systems are purpose-built to keep critical processes operational, no matter how extreme the conditions.

Features of Electrical Heat Tracing
Electrical tracing systems use heating cables applied along the piping to maintain a constant fluid temperature, preventing freezing and ensuring proper flow. This solution is particularly valued for:
Thermal precision
Provides accurate temperature control for sensitive processes
Easy installation
Flexible cables fit pipes of any shape or size
Low maintenance
Few mechanical parts, requiring minimal upkeep
When to Choose Electrical Heat Tracing
Electrical heat tracing is particularly suitable when precise and stable temperature control is needed. It is the optimal solution for applications requiring
Specific temperature maintains
Quick and flexible installation
Available Power Supply
Long Line Piping System
Environments without an existing steam distribution network
Lower maintenance and operating costs
APPLICATIONS
FREEZE PROTECTION - SELF REGULATING TECHNOLOGY
Electric heat tracing systems keep non-flowing oils & high viscosity products in pipes, pumps and associated equipment from freezing by replacing the heat lost through the thermal insulation. Chromalox pipe heat trace systems are energy efficient, reliable and performance.
Our heat tracing protection solutions are typically applied in industrial facilities: ​
-
Crude Oil Lines and drain lines
-
Bitumen Oil Lines, Fuel Oil Lines
-
Air Ducting.
-
Filters, Pumpsets, Knock Out (KO) Drums, Vessels & etc.
-
De-Icing Application (+5Deg. C maintain)
APPLICATIONS
LONG PIPELINE HEATING - SKIN EFFECT TECHNOLOGY

Crude Oil
APPLICATIONS
TANK HEATING SYSTEM - SELF REGULATING TECHNOLOGY
Chromlalox industrial tank heating solutions store industrial liquids at the right temperature and minimize energy consumption, no matter the maintain temperature requirements. Safety, reliability and energy efficiency guaranteed.
​
​
Typical tank heating applications include:
-
Freeze protection of low/medium viscosity fluids (e.g. LNG Tanks, ammonia)
-
Maintain temperature of medium/high viscosity fluids (e.g. Crude Oil, Fuel Oil, Bitumen Tanks)
APPLICATIONS
PROCESS PIPELINE TEMPERATURE MAINTENANCE
Electric heat tracing systems replace heat loss in a pipe anywhere throughout an industrial process. Pipe tracing is critical for temperature maintenance in pipes that are expected to have stagnant fluids for extended periods of time. The ability to maintain liquids within a specified temperature for prolonged intervals helps keep operations at the greatest productivity level.

Typical applications include:
-
Fuel oil, asphalt, sulphur, waxes, hydraulics
-
Caustic soda, acids, polymers, sensitive chemicals
-
Vegetable oils, biodiesel, fat, syrup, chocolate
