Amazing Global Sustainability Case Studies
Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Bangkok, Thailand
When it was first opened in September 2006, the Bangkok International Airport was the largest airport in the world by floor area (563,000 square meters or 6,060,000 square feet). It is the sixth busiest airport in Asia. Sustainability was a big part of the initial building plan and the architects and contractors working on the airport were tasked with finding sustainable, innovative materials to use in its construction.
Our Translucent PT coating was chosen as an insulation and protective coating for use over hundreds of aluminum panels that make up the airlink bridges at the airport. The coating was applied by the contractor as a spray application prior to installation during construction and it offered a combination of sustainable benefits:
- Thermal insulation
- Energy savings
- Thin film/space saving
- Condensation prevention
- Corrosion/corrosion under insulation (CUI) prevention
- Water-based, non-toxic, low VOC product
Corporate Sustainability Project Over 38 Factories in 28 Countries
It’s very fulfilling to know our coating technology helped a large international textile manufacturer, and one that makes the red thread used in Major League baseball, reduce their global energy consumption by more than 10% and lessen their global carbon footprint by an estimated 2%, while providing them with energy cost savings of over $1,000,000 US annually. This major project saw the product pay for itself in less than a year. The coatings improved worker health and safety in two important ways:
- Reduced the exterior surface temperature of the equipment
- Reduced the heat radiated into the work environment
The company coated all their dyeing machines in 38 factories around the world with our Heat Shield™ High Heat and EPX4 coatings to insulate and provide moisture and chemical resistant long-term insulation. This project is an example of our Extreme Customer Support. We conducted a 4-day Application Training Program for regional managers from around the globe. They then flew back and conducted training at their regional facilities and taught their maintenance teams how to do the easy coating application.
IMSS - Mexico’s Social Security and Health Administration
Some of our projects go beyond just saving energy and reducing heat transfer, sometimes they can actually help save lives. The IMSS, Mexico’s Social Security and Health Administration, had a critical issue in their main data center in Monterrey, Mexico with their server room getting too hot during the summer months, which caused the servers to go into an automatic shutdown mode to avoid heat damage and data loss.
When this happened, doctors around the country that needed access to patient records on those servers couldn’t reach them when they needed to. So our Crystal roof coating was used on the roof of the data center and lowered the internal room temperature during the hottest month of the summer by an average of 27%, from an average 33.7C (92.7F) to 24.5C (76.1F), solving the issue with heat related server shutdown and ensuring that health providers could access vital patient records when they needed to.
Yang Ming Marine Fuel Savings for Container Ship
When a Netherlands based maritime services company wanted to help their client, Yang Ming Marine, they turned to INI's thermal insulation coatings. The Heat Shield™ High Heat insulating and anti-corrosion coating was applied to the HFO tanks and tubular system and overcoated with a marine top coat to protect it from salt water.
The coating reduced the diesel fuel use by 30%, reducing the daily diesel fuel use by 360 liters per 24 hours, which equates to more than 7,500 liters of diesel fuel (approximately $3,525 USD) saved during a typical 21 day round trip Asia/US/Asia journey.The cost of application and materials was $16,100 USD. The payback period was only 95 days of sailing. The coating prevented CUI and preserved valuable space on the vessel.
Here’s to global sustainability and a healthier planet!
Whether you live in China, Australia, Italy, Germany, South Africa, the U.S. or somewhere in between, energy savings and sustainability are smart business. An easy and affordable way to meet many energy saving, worker safety, and other sustainability goals is to insulate and protect surfaces with INI coatings. Our patented technology is used everywhere from boilers and steam pipes to roofs and walls as a simple, long-lasting spray-on solution that has much greater longevity than older fibrous types of insulation.
