INSULATION PRODUCTS
© Copyright by The Freedonia Group, Inc. 77
nanocomposite insulations are foamed plastic. For example, Industrial
NanoTech supplies NANSULATE, a sprayed-on plastic coating that has
enhanced insulating properties. This nanocomposite product, which dries to a
rigid shell, is engineered to have higher R-values and lower thermal
conductivity than other types of insulation.

Residential Construction: Demand for foamed rigid urethane insulation
in residential construction applications is forecast to advance 1.2 percent per
year through 2008 to 175 million pounds. Use of this insulation in new
residential construction will be limited by a lackluster new housing
environment, which includes an expected decline in conventional housing
starts from the elevated levels of the 1998-2003 period. However, foamed rigid
urethane will continue to gain market share in residential applications,
somewhat offsetting the weak housing environment. Foamed rigid urethane

cyclical salt spray test with no rust, no flaking and
no loss of adhesion. Additionally, the product
maintained insulating performance when subject
to artificial seawater spray.
Third-party testing on the pigmented version of
this TIC product produced the following results:
? ASTM B117: 750 hrs passed with no corrosion and
no loss of adhesion.
? Temperature cycling from hot to cold and back
again can cause issues with thermal contraction
stress and components like valves or fittings
becoming loose. Carbon steel expands
approximately 0.75 in. per 100 ft for every 100°F
temperature change. Stainless steel expands
approximately 1.125 in. per 100 ft for every 100°F
temperature change.
On some piping, expansion loops or offsets are
used to give a pipeline more ‘give and take’, but this is
not always an optimum solution. This is another area
where TICs that are flexible enough to handle
expansion and contraction can assist in reducing the
effects of thermal stress by reducing surface
temperature extremes.
Summer weather challenges
Summer brings soaring temperatures and while this
may not be as challenging for products that are
compatible with being stored at warmer temperatures,
it can be the worst season for products that need to
be stored at cool temperatures. Typical summer
challenges include heat gain/evaporation and
condensation.
Heat gain causing evaporation is costly, meaning
that petrochemical storage becomes complicated
during the summer. According to an IOP Science
report, approximately 50% of operational losses in
the chemical and petroleum industry are due to
evaporative losses.2
Thermal insulation is key to keeping cool products
from heating up to their evaporation limit. While
there are many choices for this, TICs are one of the
most durable.
Case study
A petrochemical facility in the Middle East needed to
significantly reduce evaporation of methanol inside
storage tanks set in a hot environment. The company
found a solution with a TIC.
During the warmest months, the ambient
temperature in the region was as high as 55°C (131°F).
When the methanol reached temperatures in excess
of 33°C (91°F), it began to evaporate.
Traditional fibrous insulation with cladding was
not suitable due to the high humidity in the region.
The company also wanted to prevent corrosion of the
tanks, which was caused by the mineral wool. Three
coats of the TIC solution were applied on the exterior
of the tanks (approximately 300 µm wet film
thickness). The coating provided the petrochemical
facility with an effective thin film solution that was
highly durable and performed perfectly in the
demanding environment. It stopped the evaporation
of the methanol and offered long-term corrosion
prevention.
Condensation of chilled tanks and lines for LNG
and other cold products can often get worse in the
summer, when dew point differentials are higher.
Condensation can cause safety issues when water
drips on walkways or electronics. It can also
exacerbate corrosion. TICs can be effective up to a
point for controlling condensation as they can
typically prevent corrosion if the surface temperature
is within approximately 18°F (10°C) of the dew point
temperature.
For temperatures that are much further below the
dew point, a hygrotherm device can be used. These
are heating systems with temperature and humidity
controls that turn on heat in the event of high relative
humidity and/or low ambient air temperatures.
Winter weather challenges
Winter temperatures have their own set of unique
challenges for both keeping product heated to avoid
flow issues and combating ice formation on
Figure 3. Older types of insulation cause CUI, which
newer insulation coating technologies were designed
to eliminate.

treatment facility were coated with a heavy duty TIC

they were radiating into the building.

equipment and platform structures. Typical
challenges faced in winter include ice formation and
heat loss.
Ice formation on aboveground lines, tanks, and
offshore structures represents a significant personnel
safety issue. Ice can make walkways and railings more
dangerous to use and create slip and fall hazards.
Icicles that form on overhead tanks and structures
can fall, damaging gauges, vehicles, or other
equipment. Icephobic coatings are a solution to this
issue.
Icephobic coatings are intrinsically hydrophobic
(water repelling) so they discourage ice and icicle
formation on surfaces. Certain patented thermal
insulation coatings are icephobic, so users get the
benefit of both insulation and reduction of ice
formation.
Heat loss from fuel oil storage tanks, especially
those subject to offshore conditions, is another
concern during the winter that typically results in
higher energy costs from heating products to avoid
delivery issues. Employing wrap insulations with
aluminium covering on them is time-consuming,
expensive and causes the aforementioned issue with
CUI. It is also a short-term solution.
This is another area where TICs can be used. They
can be spray applied to the exterior of the tank and
no covering is needed, and they are built to endure
the harsh salt-spray environment.
Case study
China’s state-owned oil and gas company, Sinopec,
was reviewing new technologies for the dual
problems of keeping its offshore fuel oil tanks
insulated and corrosion free. The company
performed a successful study from October 2012 to
March 2013 with a TIC by SynavaxTM for insulation
and corrosion control. It had previously been
insulating the tank, which was on an offshore
platform in the East China Sea, with 8 cm mineral
wool covered by aluminium cladding. The tank had
to be kept between 68°C and 72°C (154°F and 162°F).
A 12-coat application of the TIC, approximately
1200 µm applied wet film thickness (0.12 cm), was
used. The company found that the new technology
was just as effective as the 8 cm mineral wool
(within a tested 3°C), and it stopped the CUI
problem.
Autumn weather challenges
Autumn is generally the mildest season with less
severe climate related issues.
Maintenance and improvements for sustainability
and other requirements do not always have to wait
for scheduled plant shutdowns. While some
maintenance may need to be carried out while
equipment is out-of-service, activities such as
spraying on a thermal insulation coating for
insulation and corrosion control can be done while
equipment is in operation.
Some clear TICs will dry more opaque when
sprayed onto a surface of approximately 76°C (171°F)
and above. Therefore, to keep the surface visibility,
its temperature should be lower during application.
After application, the temperature can be raised to
as high as 204°C (400°F).
Since there is less precipitation in autumn, this is
also a great time for exterior painting projects,
whether coating tanks for corrosion prevention or
railings to stop ice formation.
Conclusion
While state-of-the-art technology cannot yet
control the weather, it has come a long way towards
providing solutions to help combat its effects on
equipment and infrastructure. Oil and gas and
petrochemical facilities can benefit greatly and
reduce costs by seeking out and employing new
solutions for problems such as CUI, ice formation,
and heat loss or gain.
Many of these ‘new’ technologies now have
decades of successful field service behind them,
reducing the risk to a company that wants to replace
a 20th Century solution with a 21st Century one that
can offer them multiple benefits.
No matter which season, there is an innovative
solution to help combat the impact of increasingly
unpredictable weather and climate conditions and
keep products and assets protected and costs under
control.
