Insulation and Laggings

Product Description

Insulation and Laggings:

Purpose of insulation

Therefore, insulation of storage tanks is a major factor in the functionality of storage facilities. It also serves the following purposes:

·         Costs savings: Insulation significantly reduces the heat and the so-called breathing losses of the substance.

·         Environment: In addition to the cost savings achieved, reduced heat losses will also lead to lower CO₂ emission. Reduced breathing losses of hazardous substances are beneficial to our environment.

·         Process control: Insulation will prevent tanks from freezing or being heated by solar radiation. It will also reduce the cooling of the stored substance, preventing it from setting and remaining in a solid form. In both cases case additional heating or cooling may be applicable.

·         Safety: A fire resistant insulation reduces the risk of a fire outside the tank igniting a flammable medium. It is also protection against contact by minimizing the surface (contact) temperature of the tank.

To be able to design a system, the following information is required:

Size of the component

Surface area of the component

Weight of the component

Number of components to be coated per hour

Number of working hours per day
