Our thermal insulation systems are designed for the oil and gas, petro, and power plants markets. Working with alkadiene and NBR/PVC rubber materials, the multi-layer design is aimed at achieving an optimal balance of thermal performance.
With protection against water vapor ingress and reduced weight and thickness, users can rely on durable, cost-effective, and energy-efficient insulation systems. For optimum operation, industrial facilities such as power plants require mechanical insulation on pipes, ducts, tanks, and equipment.
Mechanical insulation in a power plant controls temperature variation to help limit heat gain or loss on surfaces operating at temperatures above or below ambient temperature.
Proper selection prevents damage from weather, a corrosive atmosphere, water or chemical exposure, and other challenging conditions.
Selecting the type of mechanical insulation to install begins with asking basic questions and understanding the scope of work. Mechanical insulation is divided into three different categories based on the level of heat it can withstand. Mechanical insulation contractors need to know the operating temperature range of the plant’s system before installing insulation. Knowing if a system is outdoors, indoors, or both determines the type of protection needed to prevent damage.
