E-POWER Cable route for power supply
Acetylene plant - BASF SE Ludwigshafen

BASF in Ludwigshafen has started the construction of a new acetylene plant, which is to be commissioned in 2019. For the operation of the plant, an additional and extensive supply of electrical energy is required, which ensures flexible operation with separate control of individual cable runs by means of "multi-division routing" and can be supplemented or d as required. For safe and stable cable routing, Gerodur protective conduits of the high-performance class are used, which resist a reduction in service life due to thermooxidative ageing as a result of additional thermal loads during continuous operation of the power supply. The multi-layer E-POWER^® protective pipe route was supplemented by further EMDS protective pipes for the additional laying of media or signal lines. A total of 7.75 km of pipe was installed in this parallel laying in the collection trench.
