Aerogel helps the petrochemical industry address extreme environmental challenges
The petrochemical industry has long been confronted with the tests of high temperatures, strong corrosion and complex working conditions. Traditional insulation materials are difficult to meet the requirements in terms of performance, lifespan and safety. As a new generation of highly efficient insulation materials, aerogel products, with their outstanding performance, are becoming the ideal solution for the petrochemical industry.
Aerogel has an extremely low thermal conductivity and can significantly reduce energy consumption. Meanwhile, it requires less installation space and is particularly suitable for application in areas with a high density of equipment. Under conditions of high temperature and alternating cold and hot, aerogel can still maintain a stable structure, is not prone to aging or falling off, thereby significantly enhancing the durability and safety of the insulation layer.
In addition, aerogel is highly compatible with anti-corrosion coatings, is flexible to install, and can adapt to complex equipment environments. Its non-absorbent property effectively avoids common problems such as expansion and leakage of traditional materials, providing more reliable heat insulation and protection for the petrochemical industry.
Aerogel for Petrochemical Industry
Aerogel is a superior insulation material for the petrochemical industry, used in pipelines, reactors, and tanks to maintain extreme temperatures, save energy, and protect assets from Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) due to its ultra-low thermal conductivity, hydrophobic nature, and ability to fit in tight spaces. Aerogel offer excellent thermal performance, water repellency, and CUI defense, helping facilities reduce downtime, lower operating costs, and meet sustainability goals by improving process efficiency and stability.
Pipeline Insulation: Protects against heat loss/gain and provides CUI defense.
High-Temperature Equipment: Insulates reactors, vessels, and furnaces in harsh environments like delayed coking units.
Storage Tanks: Maintains process conditions and insulates large storage units.
Offshore Facilities: Offers passive fire protection and insulation for FPSOs.
Forms: Available as blankets, powders (for coatings/fillers), and integrated composites.
Handling: Encapsulated products help manage dust; proper handling is needed to prevent skin/eye/respiratory irritation.
