The nature of processing chemical mixtures in various applications often require heating elements to be designed to allow for even flow heat transfers along an entire area. Immersion heaters are designed to apply a gradual heat that can reach the extremities of a container with the proper insulating factors.

Chemicals with acidic properties often require a lower watt density to prevent the erosion of a sheath (stainless steel 316 is often used) in which case for larger containers, Wattco flanged heaters are used. For smaller mixtures, often 500 gallons or less, screw plug heaters are used for their ease of use and maintenance.

Larger containers that do not have access openings on the bottom of the tank, or polypropelene tanks with open covers often use Wattco over the side heaters where they can rest on the side of the tank wall and eminate heat to the extremities of the tank basin. Cold section risers are available to prevent jeopardizing the structural integrity of the polypropelene tank. Horizontal elements found at the bottom of the tank use heating properties (heat rises) to heat up the chemical mixture from the bottom up. This efficient use of electric heating allows for your mixture to be thoroughly heated to your target temperature without any worries of damage to the structural integrity of your tank. Additional benefits of over the side heaters include the ability to move the element to several tanks, reducing overall costs of purchasing more than one heater for your application.
