Enormous Energy Saving Potentials

Insulation directly contributes to more sustainable business, your business performance, and the environment. PETROLINE carries out insulation projects in all industry sectors. Our approach guarantees that each project conforms to the quality standards and safety requirements that the customer specifies.

Enormous Energy Saving Potentials

Next to raw materials, energy represents the largest single cost element of most manufacturing processes. PETROLINE recognize thermal insulation as a valuable investment and a tremendous asset to energy conservation and process efficiency.

Properly maintained insulation contributes significantly to a plant’s operating bottom line, in turn helping to reduce CO2 emissions, carbon footprint and operating costs.

Therefore, significant untapped energy saving potential exists. Quantifying this damaged or missing insulation and calculating the associated energy loss is a unique service offered by PETROLINE.

Plant Integrity

PETROLINE gives companies insights into the options regarding energy reduction and decreasing CO2 emissions. We help clients to visualize the costs and corresponding repayment period that go hand in hand with the improvements to be carried out. With our advice, our clients are perfectly primed to reduce their energy usage and to curb losses resulting from gas leaks, etc.

Multidisciplinary Approach

PETROLINE is famous within the market for its multidisciplinary approach. We are able to offer insulation works in a complete package, together with scaffolding and painting, for example.

PETROLINE can deliver complete management for a turnaround or shut-down of a plant in which insulation works are to be carried out. Naturally, we are happy to take work preparation and full implementation into account.

High quality materials for a strict regulated process

In order to guarantee the LNG cold temperature of -160°C, high-quality insulation applied in accordance with strict specifications is essential. Insulation systems consisting of Polyisocyanurate (PIR) rigid foam or cellular glass insulation, applied in multiple layers, in combination with high performance vapor barriers are used in order to produce the necessary degree of insulation.

Mechanical and weather protection to the installed insulation is achieved by the application of specified cladding materials, which include stainless steel; Aluminized steel or UV cured GRP.

The Polyisocyanurate (PIR) rigid foam used for pipe, equipment and storage tank insulation is produced specifically for use in LNG insulation systems, and has to have the required mechanical properties in order to accommodate the thermal stresses involved, in addition to possessing the necessary thermal properties.

Cellular glass insulation is also used for cold insulation of pipe work, equipment, storage tanks, and ships. Cellular glass is a lightweight material consisting of millions of packed glass cells. Each glass cell provides long-term performance, and together it can insulate the material under all possible conditions.

Industry standards are leading

These materials are used in both the onsite insulation application to pipe work and equipment and the offsite pre-insulation of pipe work and equipment and are applied in strict accordance with LNG industry standards specifications which include the Shell DEP, CINI, Chevron.

Installation of materials is by operatives fully trained in LNG insulation application and strict quality control procedures are followed during installation.
