Back to case studyAerogel Blanket Insulates Entire New Polycarbonate Plant
Easily installed on entire plant´s piping, towers, tanks, and drums
Challenges
- Insulate piping, towers, tanks, and drums for entire new Cheil polycarbonate plant in South Korea.
- The design goal was heat conservation.
- Process temperature was 121°-343°C (250°-650°F).
AEROGEL SOLUTION
- Aspen Aerogels provided a large supply of Pyrogel® 6350 and Pyrogel® 10350 material for insulating the plant.
Benefits
- The Pyrogel insulation met heat conservation requirements throughout the plant.
- The insulation was efficient to install, particularly on towers and vessels, enabling contractors to lower the labor cost and total installed cost.
- The aerogel solution was one of the lowest total installed cost solutions.
- The aerogel solution also provided huge energy savings due to its water resistance properties.
