Tank Insulation
Our TufSeam vertical standing seam tank insulation systems provide long-term thermal control for chemicals, oil, and food storage. Custom-engineered panels ensure precise fit, reducing energy costs by hundreds of thousands annually. Durable stainless steel jackets withstand hurricane-force winds without penetrations.
Coke Drum Insulation
Patented U.S. Patent No. 10,323,190 coke drum insulation accommodates thermal expansion while preventing water intrusion. Floating ring design allows easy panel removal for weld inspections. Stainless steel jacketing resists coke dust buildup and corrosion.
Piping Insulation
We fabricate and install thermal piping insulation using materials like fiberglass, perlite, and foamglas. Aluminum or stainless steel jacketing ensures durability. Turnaround installations complete within 3-5 days with expert specification support.
Spherical Vessel Insulation
Custom TufSeam systems for hot/cold spherical vessels combine insulation materials with stainless steel cables and jacketing. Patented designs (U.S. Patent No. 10,302,253) minimize thermal conduction while accommodating expansion in ammonia and gas storage applications.
Insulation Fabrication
We manufacture insulation blankets, piping coverings, and vertical standing seam panels in our Texas facility. Pre-fabricated components ensure quality control and rapid installation for industrial facilities requiring maintenance-free thermal solutions.
Questions
What industries do your insulation systems serve?
We serve chemical, oil, gas, ammonia, asphalt, brewery, food, electricity, nuclear power, and marine industries with specialized insulation solutions.
How does your vertical standing seam insulation differ from traditional methods?
Our patented TufSeam system eliminates rivets and screws, uses double-rolled seams for weatherproofing, and accommodates thermal expansion without scaffolding during installation.
What materials do you use for cold storage insulation?
Cold systems combine insulation layers, vapor barriers, and stainless steel jacketing to prevent condensation damage in low-temperature applications.
Can you retrofit existing coke drums with your insulation system?
Yes, our patented coke drum systems (U.S. Patent No. 10,323,190) can be installed on existing drums during turnarounds or new builds using floating ring technology.
How do you ensure proper fit for custom tank insulation?
We engineer panels to exact tank dimensions, using horizontal cables and double-rolled seams to accommodate expansion while maintaining secure attachment.
What makes your spherical vessel insulation unique?
Our patented systems (U.S. Patent No. 10,302,253) use compression sleeves and stainless steel components to optimize thermal performance in spherical storage tanks.
