Mokhatab, S. Towler, B F. New method developed for siting line heaters on gas pipelines. Oil and Gas Journal, 15 March 2004, 102(11) p.

In most onshore gas transmission systems, use of a line heater maintains the flowing mixture temperature above the hydrate-formation temperature. A new analytical technique estimates the appropriate location of the line heaters along natural gas pipelines, applying the general energy equation. An example shows that the proposed technique can be a simple, easy-to-use tool for designing the heating system of a gas transmission line.
