	Valve failures occur across all process industries as a result of improper jacketing.  "Stop Welding on that Valve", published in May 2001 issue of Chemical Processing, highlights the problems most often encountered with weld-on jackets and the benefits of specifying bolt-on jacketing.  For additional information, visit Chemical Processing website at www.chemicalprocessing.com.
	Plant engineers have three principal heating options – tracing, fabricated jacketing, and bolt-on jacketing.  This article by Henry Gaines, PE, discusses which option provides the best performance and lowest installed cost.
	Uniform pipe wall temperatures can be maintained on sulphur vapor lines to eliminate process interruptions caused by corrosion or blockage. Controls Southeast, Inc. reports on a typical case in point using a very cost effective bolt-on heating system (ControTrace). This article is reprinted from the January February 2001 issue of British Sulphur Magazine.
	Controls Southeast, Inc. offers a unique, cost effective system for maintaining uniform pipe wall temperatures in difficult heated process applications. This article from the November 2000 issue of Chemical Processing magazine documents the methodology used and the success achieved in two case studies.

	This article from the July/August 1999 edition of Sulphur Magazine profiles the 10+ years of successful operating experience Martin Gas Sales has enjoyed with ControHeat and ControTrace in molten sulphur service. Martin Gas Sales, the largest independent domestic distributor of sulphur, talks about the important life cycle advantages that a bolt-on thermal maintenance system can provide.
	"Make the Right Choices in Thermal Maintenance" was edited and published by Chemical Engineering Magazine . It was written to illustrate those situations that make thermal maintenance applications more challenging and provide general guidelines to help inform readers about what heating technologies should be considered.

	"Temperature Control With Bolt-On Jackets" was published by Chemical Processing Magazine in August 1997. The article compares traditional jacketing technologies for process equipment (valves, pumps, meters, instruments) with respect to technical performance, economy, availability and adaptability.  For additional information, visit Chemical Processing website at www.chemicalprocessing.com.
	"Solving Problems With Bolt-On Jackets" was published in the Sept/Oct 1998 issue of Sulphur Magazine and provides a brief historical on the evolution of the bolt-on jacketing technology. It goes on to compare the bolt-on jacketing system to more traditional jacketing systems specifically outlining the benefits of the bolt-on system for Sulphur service. Several Case studies are presented as well as some important reference material like the viscosity curve for sulphur.
	Dave Hornbaker co-authored the paper entitled "Eliminating Condensation and Resulting Corrosion in Sulphur Tail Gas and De-Gas Lines" with Graham MacPherson of Millennia Resource Consulting. The paper was presented at the Sulphur Conference 1999 in Calgary Canada. The paper presents a real world model from the largest Natural Gas Plant in Alberta Canada.
	Henry Gaines, Jr., PE, Authored the paper "Maintaining Process Temperature with Bolt-On Jackets". The Paper was presented at the Valve World Expo, The Hague, Netherlands, in the fall of 1998.
	Maritime Reporter & Engineering News called the bolt-on heating system design on the M/V Sulphur Enterprise one of the top 10 mariner innovations of 1999. The Enterprise uses ControTrace and ControHeat bolt-on heating jackets to maintain temperature of process lines and equipment sufficient to transfer 24,000 tons of molten sulphur on and off the ship weekly.
