How to do a good job of thermal insulation when petrochemical equipment is frequently disassembled?
Some petrochemical equipment is prone to high temperature and heat during operation, which will not only cause energy waste but also be dangerous. Therefore, it is necessary to insulate it, which is not only low cost, but also does not require the replacement of existing industrial infrastructure and can be carried out quickly during shutdown and maintenance.
Whether it is flanged or welded, valves should generally be insulated to detect potential leaks of the valve during daily visual inspections and prevent oil from penetrating into the rest of the insulation layer.
For example, the insulation sleeve can be easily disassembled, reducing the maintenance workload in the event of damage, and the maintenance of the valve can also be easily carried out. And because this can reduce heat loss, it is definitely worthwhile to insulate the equipment.
In addition to the need to consider energy economics, it can reduce heat loss and save energy. Insulation also plays a big role in the safety of operators and equipment operation. In any case, equipment manufacturers and plant managers must absolutely consider the environmental safety issues around operators and stipulate strict protection measures when necessary, such as the requirement to wear personal protective equipment should be limited to a minimum.
