ControTrace® bolt-on heating elements have been the preferred steam tracing solutions for heating pipe, tanks, and vessels since 1980. These thermal solutions are a cost-effective alternative to fully jacketed piping and, in comparison to steam tracing, offer greater heating capacities and reliability. These heating elements also prevent cross-contamination between the heating medium and the process. Today, over five hundred miles of ControTrace® heat tracing elements are in service in plants and refineries around the globe.
