Petroleum Mining

Aerogel insulating felts are mainly used for the insulation of high-temperature steam injection lines on the ground of thick oil extraction, where the medium temperature is between 350°C ~ 400°C. Lightweight and thin aerogel products can greatly reduce the amount of insulation layer, and effectively reduce the temperature drop and pressure drop of steam in the long-distance transportation. It can replace traditional insulation materials such as silicate mat, glass fiber, rock wool, mineral wool, etc.

Petroleum refining

Aerogel insulation felt is mainly used in refining equipment, media pipeline insulation, generally used at a temperature of 200 ° C ~ 650 ° C. Because of its extremely low thermal conductivity can effectively reduce the volume of the insulation layer, thereby increasing the rate of refining pipeline in the plant area. And it has excellent hydrophobicity, PH value is neutral, can avoid moisture absorption into the water caused by electrochemical corrosion on the erosion of the pipeline, extend the service life of the pipeline, while reducing the late maintenance costs.

Pipeline insulation project status quo

1. Unreasonable insulation structure, construction thickness is not standardized, insulation construction is not in place;

2. Easy deformation, easy to settle, poor thermal stability, large breakage rate, poor insulation effect in the later stage, unable to meet the process requirements;

3. Poor thermal insulation effect and decline significantly, resulting in increased maintenance costs of insulation works, equipment operating costs;

4. The service life is basically only 3~5 years, and all of them need to be replaced by the expiration date;

5. Incomplete waterproofing, easy to absorb water and moisture corrosion of the pipeline, the thinning of the pipe wall to bring security risks.

Advantages

1. The special structure of aerogel and its waterproof and compression-resistant characteristics make its service life up to more than 20 years, much higher than traditional materials;

2. Excellent thermal insulation performance, unique nano-scale structure and holes can effectively prevent heat transfer, is currently the world's lowest thermal conductivity of solid materials, only 1/3 ~ 1/5 of the traditional thermal insulation materials, reduce heat loss;

3. The unique nano three-dimensional grid structure provides extraordinary high-temperature stability and constant and long-lasting thermal insulation performance;

4. With excellent overall waterproof performance, while allowing water vapor to pass through, will not be damp, water absorption corrosion of the pipeline, to ensure that the thermal insulation properties of long-term effective, is the ideal choice of pipe insulation materials;

5. Have good flexibility and tensile and compressive strength, can resist brutal construction, long-term use without settlement, deformation. Avoid other insulation materials in the long-term high temperature, vibration, water and deformation and insulation performance decline;

6. Green environmental protection, to ensure employee health, environmental quality and equipment safety;

7. Light and convenient, easy to install, save transportation, construction costs.
