Heatwork AS

PetroHeater was built specially to meet the stringent requirements of the petroleum industry.
The system was developed and tested in collaboration with Statoil for use on the LNG plant at Melkøya. All equipment and machinery used in the petroleum industry must meet specific and stringent requirements.

Based on cutting-edge technological innovation and components from only the best suppliers, HeatWork’s heating and thawing concept is patented and market-leading.

GSM
A GSM control unit allows the machine to operate unattended and will send a text message alert if there is anything that needs attention.

CE-marking
All our models carry the CE mark and are designed to meet European requirements.

Service
The machines have very few, easily accessible service points. Our unique position with close ties to the market, service and maintenance personnel and 24-hour emergency helpline give our customers a major competitive edge.

Increase your profitability with HeatWork! Our systems can be applied in a myriad ways, and our heating and thawing solutions are superior to those of our competitors.

Year-round operation
Winter is no longer a waiting game – maintain a high level of activity year-round and avoid lay-offs and halts in production.

Win tenders
With HeatWork in your outfit, you can guarantee your tender’s time schedules and quality assurance, which significantly reduces your liability risks.

Lower operating costs
Low fuel consumption means low operating costs, and the cost of each thawed square meter is thus extremely low. PetroHeater can thaw 200 m2 in 48 hours, which gives it a running cost of NOK 6.72 per m2, compared to thawing costs for coal and hot air at NOK 140 and 211 per m2, respectively (The hot air costs are calculated on the basis of a 20-m2 thaw area, as thawing 200 m2 is impractical for this thawing method).

HeatWork has worked closely with the market and developed machines with different properties and capacities, tailored to your needs.

Wide range of applications
The machine’s areas of application span several stages of building and construction projects; from thawing frozen ground, protecting ground from frost and curing concrete, to heating buildings, halls, etc.

Area
Depending on the type of machine and additional equipment used, our systems can thaw areas of 10 – 800 m² and protect areas up to 1600 m2.

The machine is delivered ready-mounted on a CE-certified trailer for easy transport and use.

HeatWork has developed and patented a 3-part hose drum.

Low heat loss
Our machines offer maximum heat transfer; used in conjunction with HW insulation mats and tarpaulins, the heat loss is as low as 5 %.

Thawing effect
A large pump and short circuits mean that the system fluid circulates quickly and has a high return temperature. For example, you can quickly thaw an area of 200 m² to a depth of 30-40 cm in 24 hours. We have the highest documented heating effectiveness in the industry at 91.55 %.

HW Insulation mats
Our specially developed mats, with 3 layers of reflective aluminium coating, minimize heat loss and save you both time and money.

HeatWork’s heating and thawing concept is the most environmentally-friendly option on the market.

Low C02 emissions
HeatWork is environmentally friendly: our thawing methods emit 93 % less CO2 than the hot air method, for example. CO2 emissions in kg per m2: HeatWork, 2.23; coal, 60.8; and hot air, 70.2.

Closed system
The heat-transfer liquid is environmentally-friendly and circulates in a closed system.

Direct heat
The hoses are laid directly on the ground and covered. Heat is transferred into the ground with the heat loss as low as 5 %, which, in turn, means low fuel consumption.

Indoor climate and working environment
Heating the building using radiator fans connected to HeatWork improves both the indoor climate and your working environment. The fans are quiet and do not give off fumes nor increase humidity. In addition, they distribute the heat evenly.
