A pipeline heater comprising a plurality of flameless catalytic IR emitters positioned about a section of pipe in a substantially diamond-shaped configuration, the diameter of the pipe section being greater than the diameters of the heater inlet and outlet manifolds in order to increase the residence time of the fluid within the heater. The pipeline heater may comprise a single or multiple passes of the pipe section therethrough, each pass having a plurality of catalytic emitters positioned thereabout in a substantially diamond-shaped configuration.
