Ensuring Reliable Temperature Control for
Municipal Water and Waste Treatment
Municipalities invest significant time and resources to ensure access to clean drinking water while effectively treating wastewater to protect the environment. In these applications, trace heating plays a critical role—not only for freeze protection but also for maintaining the required temperatures of the aggressive chemicals used in treatment processes.
Flow Protected. Systems Secured.
With Drexan’s expertise, we provide precisely engineered heat tracing solutions that deliver long-lasting performance, especially on plastic piping and tanks, where accurate temperature control is essential for efficiency and safety.
We’re redefining trace heating with innovative, high-performance solutions that keep critical systems operational, no matter the conditions.
Drexan HeatTracer cables and connection systems are:
- Able to serve the most demanding environments including hazardous and non-hazardous areas as well as areas where corrosive exposure may be of concern.
- Certified to CSA (CUS), UL standards for use
throughout North America. - Suitable for both metal and non-metal pipes, tanks and vessels.
Hazardous locations are defined by the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) section 18 and the National Electrical Code (NEC) as; those areas in which the potential for fire or explosion exists due to the presence of flammable gases or vapours and combustible dusts.

Why Is Process Temperature Maintenance Important?
Prevent Freezing
Protect pipes, valves, and tanks from freezing in cold environments.
Maintain Chemical Temperature
Ensure chemicals stay effective with precise heat control.
Prevent Corrosion & Equipment Damage
Stop condensation that causes corrosion in systems.
Enhance Sludge Processing
Control sludge viscosity to improve flow and prevent clogs.
Improve Safety & Compliance
Reduce risks from chemical hazards caused by temperature swings.
Cut Energy Costs & Boost Efficiency
Targeted heat tracing reduces waste and lowers operating expenses.
