Heat Insulation of Equipment for the Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Industry

It is very common situation that the equipment which have complex surfaces have insulation problems in the Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Industry. The traditional materials are inadequate and ineffective for this problem. Such materials do not fully adhere to the surface. In the application of such materials both the effort spent is high and the completion time of the work is long.
In general, the insulation needs to be partially or completely replaced after 2 or 2.5 years.
 
Isollat ​​insulation, which is both simple and complex, can be successfully used as an insulation and corrosion resistant material in pipelines pumping crude oil and fuel oil, in tanks where petroleum products (gasoline and kerosene) are stored, in separate turbine units for gas pumping and other process equipment. In such cases, the use of Isollat ​​insulation successfully achieves what you desire.
 
The most common example of using this insulating material is to protect tanks which are filled with lighter petroleum fractions (gasoline, kerosene, etc.) from overheating by exposure to the sun. The boiling point of these petroleum products is about 40 °C. The metal can heat up to 80 ° C in summer and in some regions where the climate is not so hot. This causes the inside of tanks and ships to evaporate. Therefore, the loss can reach 40% of the total volume.
 
Another important issue is related to the insulation of tanks for the storage of ammonia, sulfuric acid, styrene and other reactive liquid gases used in the petrochemical industry.
 
It is important that the heat insulation in storage tanks where fuel oil, diesel, bitumen etc are stored in should be monolithic.  Isollat-Effect insulation can be applied reliably to the problematic area where heat bridge without seams and joints can be occurred. If the structure is thin this provides both heat insulation of the storage equipment and protection of the structure from corrosion.
 
When using a high-pressure airless gun, the liquid consistency of the material ensures that it adheres tightly to the surface in a short time and prevents the formation of "cold heat bridge".
 
The use of Isollat ​​insulation in oil, gas plants and petrochemical manufacturing industry reduces the use of fire equipment and also, it does not require the removal of tanks from the production cycle.
It is extremely important to use Isollat ​​insulation to eliminate condensation on the metal surfaces of oil and gas equipment. Isollat ​​insulation, which has both low emissivity and thickness as 1.5-2mm, quickly reduces the condensation, which is an extremely important situation for oil-producing regions in cold climates.
The main advantages of insulation are:

• The liquid consistency of the insulation ensures good insulation for difficult areas;
• The application process takes a short time;
• No welding is applied during insulation;
• It fits on the surface;
• It is used as a finishing coat;
• It prevents condensation on metal surfaces;
• It is applied without interrupting the production cycle;
• It protects metal surfaces against corrosion;
• Coloring is possible.
