Application Case of Petrochemical Industry | Nano porous Thermal Insulation Material, Building Double Protection of High Temperature Working Condition Safety and Energy Conservation

Petrochemical industry is a typical high-temperature process industry, where core equipment such as refining plants, reaction vessels, high-temperature process pipelines, and storage tanks are subjected to high temperature, high pressure, and strong corrosion conditions for a long time. The thermal insulation performance directly affects production energy efficiency, equipment safety, and operation and maintenance costs. The industry has high-risk attributes of flammability and explosiveness, and has extremely high requirements for the fire rating, environmental friendliness, and stability of insulation materials.

The nano microporous insulation material, mainly made of high-purity nano silica, provides professional insulation solutions for high-temperature equipment in the petrochemical industry with its A-level non combustible safety properties, ultra-low thermal conductivity, energy-saving performance, and excellent weather and corrosion resistance. It balances safety protection, energy conservation, cost reduction, and long-term stable operation.

industry pain points

1. High thermal energy loss and high operating costs: Equipment such as heating furnaces, cracking furnaces, and steam pipelines have outstanding heat dissipation, and traditional insulation materials have fast insulation efficiency decay at high temperatures, resulting in significant thermal energy loss and driving up fuel consumption and production operating costs.

2. Strict safety requirements and multiple risk hazards: Petrochemical scenes are flammable and explosive, traditional organic insulation materials have insufficient fire protection levels, and are prone to combustion and release of toxic smoke at high temperatures, which can exacerbate fire risks and secondary injuries.

3. Strong corrosion under working conditions and short material life: The device is subject to long-term corrosion from smoke, acidic and alkaline media, outdoor temperature changes, etc. Ordinary insulation materials are prone to powdering, aging, and peeling, requiring frequent maintenance and replacement, which interferes with the continuous production rhythm.

4. The pipeline structure is complex and the construction difficulty is high: the factory area has dense pipe corridors, numerous irregular valves and elbows, poor adhesion of traditional hard insulation materials, complicated construction processes, and inconvenient maintenance.

Solution

Nano microporous insulation materials can be customized for different scenarios in the petrochemical industry: lining plates for furnaces and reaction devices to reduce heat dissipation, stabilize furnace temperature, and reduce fuel consumption; Flexible wrapping of high-temperature pipeline network to reduce heat loss and temperature drop during transportation; The overall insulation of the storage tank reduces the fluctuation of medium temperature and the frequency of energy replenishment; Simultaneously serving as a fire and insulation barrier, delaying the spread of fire and reserving emergency time.

Application Effectiveness

Through the systematic application of nano porous insulation materials, petrochemical plants have achieved a dual upgrade in safety and energy efficiency: significant reduction in equipment heat loss, synchronous reduction in production energy consumption and operating costs; The fire safety performance of the materials meets the requirements of high-risk scenarios, improving the overall safety level of the factory area; The characteristics of long lifespan and easy maintenance of the material reduce downtime and maintenance losses, significantly optimizing the overall cost of the equipment throughout its lifecycle.
