Conventional Vs Removable Insulation Covers

Removable Insulation Covers provide a full solution to all insulation requirements. They are precisely engineered to fit any shape, with insulation layers stitched in between high temperature/ weatherproof fabrics.

Removable Insulation Covers are custom-designed, reusable, easy-to-use and cost-effective. They are durable to extreme weather conditions and provide a long-term solution to the client. Thus, they are a very reliable alternative to conventional insulation in petroleum, petrochemical, power generation, marine and other industries.

Conventional Insulation vs Removable Insulation

Conventional Insulation Removable Insulation
Conventional Insulation Best Removable Insulation Cover
Not reusable: Conventional insulation such as rockwool needs to be removed, disposed and replaced with new insulation every time the equipment or instruments need inspection and maintenance. Reusable: Removable insulation covers are easily removed and reused after every inspection and maintenance.
Safety Risks and Low Thermal Efficiency: Complex shapes can either be left uninsulated or insulation can be damaged over time. Thus compromising the thermal efficiency and safety of the personnel No Safety Risks and High Thermal Efficiency: All types of shapes can be covered with jacket type removable insulation. Which keeps the system at high efficiency and minimum safety risk.
Labor Intensive: Removal of insulation and cladding is time consuming and prone to damage. Simple Removal and Reinstallation: Significantly less labor is required as the removable insulation is easy to remove and reinstall.
Assets at High Risk: Re-used cladding is damaged and prone to leaks, which can promote CUI. Assets at Minimum or No Risk: Prevents leaks and CUI as equipment is covered with water resistant removable insulation.
Cost Intensive: Additional cost and labor required to remove, dispose and reinstall during maintenance and inspection. Cost Effective: Labor costs are significantly minimized due to simple removal and reinstallation process. Whereby, disposal and insulation replacement costs are totally eliminated.
Careful removal of insulation and cladding is time consuming and prone to damage. Quick & simple removal.
Re-used cladding is damaged and prone to leaks which can promote CUI. Prevent leaks and CUI as the equipment is wrapped with water ressistant removable mattress.
During maintenance insulation is easily damaged. Thus, needs to be disposed and replaced incurring additional cost. Removable mattresses are re-used after maintenance and are easy to reinstall
Certain areas can be left uninsuated due to complex shape or damaged insulation. Uninsulated equipment can be safety hazards and allow significant heat loss. Due to customized design and robust insulation, equipment are fully insulated. Insulated equipment prevent safety hazards and prevent significant heat loss.

Features

1. Insulation cover material – Usually high performance fabric based:

  • Tear and abrasion-resistant
  • Weather resistant
  • Non-combustible
  • Withstand temperatures up to 1600°F (871°C)
  • Oil and water-resistant

2. Insulation material: Providing the bulk of the insulation properties of the system such as: Aerogel (Pyrogel®XT-E or Cryogel® Z), Mineral wool, Ceramic Fibre

3. Custom-fabricated

4. Uses different types of securement system to held the cover in place such as:

  • Wire with lacing hooks
  • Straps
  • Buckles
  • Velcro
  • Double D-ring with straps
  • Springs, etc.

 
5. Lasting fit for all types of equipment

6. Durable

Key Benefits

  • High Quality – High quality fabrics and insulation materials utilised in producing long lasting and durable covers
  • Custom Made – Covers are engineered for a custom fit and designed to fit tight for specific components and also irregular shapes.
  • Ease of Installation – Covers can be quickly installed and removed
  • Energy Saving– Good heat preservation especially over complex shapes reducing energy losses
  • Personal Protection – The insulation lowers exposed surface temperature shelping to reduce the chance of accidental burns.
  • Condensation Control – Prevents pipe sweating and moulding.
  • Noise Reduction – As the jacket insulate the noisy equipment's, it reduces sound transmission.
  • Corrosion Protection -Insulation jackets are waterproof and weatherproof reducing water ingress.
  • Cost effective - Very fast payback on investments
