Electric Bayonet Heaters
Efficient, Low-Maintenance Heat for Remote Tanks
When your tank is located far from centralized steam or hot oil systems, running pipe, insulation, and infrastructure can get expensive—fast. That’s where this electric tank heater system shines. Designed for small-scale heating needs in remote or stand-alone tanks, this package offers a plug-and-play solution that mounts directly to the manway.Perfect for applications requiring 100,000–200,000 Btu/hr, this system is ideal for tanks storing materials at lower temperatures—like biodiesel tanks needing consistent 80°F heating.
Why This System Works
- Runs on Electricity – No need for steam or thermal oil infrastructure.
- Cost-Effective Setup – Just run electrical to the tank, mount to the manway, and you’re good to go.
- Minimal Maintenance – Simple install, minimal moving parts, long operational life.
- Right-Sized Heat – Best for applications under 200,000 Btu/hr.
Note: Not recommended for tanks that require 1–2MM Btu/hr. This is a compact, efficient option for small or supplemental heating.
