Sponsored Content: Helping to prevent CUI In Hydrocarbon Processing – An Engineer’s Perspective
Insulation systems in hydrocarbon processing facilities are integral to the effective thermal performance of process pipes and vessels. While insulation plays an important role in process control, energy efficiency, noise reduction and passive fire production, it is important to consider how an insulating system stands up to a persistent threat in hydrocarbon processing facilities – corrosion under insulation.
Development of novel epoxy closed-cell foam for personnel and corrosion protection—Part 2
Most industrial assets operating at elevated temperatures require thermal insulation for energy conservation, thermal protection or process stabilization.
