Space-Saving HotCat
Pipeline Heater is the Advanced Catalytic
Alternative to Water
Tube Devices 

It’s ideal for:

  • Town Border Stations (TBS) and
  • wherever precise, manual temperature
    control is needed – and
  • space is at a premium!

HotCat is the Ultimate in
Efficient Freeze Protection
for Pipelines and
Downstream Regulators

HotCat pipeline heater consists of multiple
infrared heaters that apply a precise level
of heat directly to the custom-engineered
heat exchanger.  The pipeline heater design
employs greater surface area by doubling pipe
diameter in the heat exchanger. This maximizes
heat  transfer while slowing gas flow.  The result
is longest-possible retention time – and
best-possible transfer of heat energy to the gas.

Space-Saving HotCat
Pipeline Heater has
Manual or Automated
Operation

Automated HotCat units provide computerized
control over ramp-up, temperature and shut-down.
HotCat integrates easily with PCs, PLCs, SCADA
systems and networks.

Like larger HotCat systems, small-space HotCat
pipeline heaters can be installed close to
equipment. Where water tube devices require
15’ of clearance outside the Division 1 perimeter, 
HotCat can be installed in Class 1, Division 2
or 2, Group D areas without restriction. 

HotCat pipeline heaters are ideal for use
wherever real estate is expensive, for
farm taps, and for TBSs (Town Border
Stations*.) The small space HotCat fits
your space and your budget like no
water tube device!

Installs Quicker than
Any Water Tube System

Cut - flange - slide - bolt: That’s all there is to
installation!  Set-up is quick, because the unit is
ready to flange, and unless you add an optional
connection, there's no electrical connection
required, either. There's NO more work to do.

Did we also mention how quiet it is? 
No water tube means no noise!

End the “Glycol Haul!”

The HotCat pipeline heater is the lean, sensible
alternative to glycol/ water tube devices, which
present environmental, maintenance and
safety issues.
 

Backed by the Industry’s
Best Warranty

Everything is provided with the skid-mounted
HotCat.  And everything is protected for a full
year. HotCat pipeline heaters are covered by a
comprehensive two-year warranty.

On "small space" HotCats, the distance from
the bottom of the skid to the center of the flange
is 36". The cabinet length is the only dimension
that changes, from 60" long to 120",
in 1 ft. increments.

All HotCat pipeline heaters are custom-made,
and available in manual or fully automated
models.

  * Town Border Stations (TBSs) reduce
pipeline pressure from the higher level used for
transmission to a lower level necessary for
local distribution. A TBS generally has a line
heater such as the HotCat, and line filter,
which ensure the integrity of the natural
gas supply and prevent contamination
from moisture and particulate.
