Tank Insulation

Storage tanks and vessels in industry are as variable in size, shape and media temperature as the processes they support. However, they all have one thing in common - the need for effective insulation that meets all of the requirements of the process in terms of maintaining stability, preserving heat and cold, and satisfying all safety requirements, such as protecting personnel from hot or cold surfaces.

With Cryolene, ISOVER has developed a special product for cryogenic applications, such as LNG tanks, which ensures excellent thermal protection while retaining mechanical flexibility, even at very low temperatures.

No matter which ISOVER product you choose to thermally insulate your pipes and tanks, acoustic insulation and fire protection are automatically included - all ISOVER products are non-combustible and offer low air permeability for improved acoustics. And if corrosion is a concern on stainless steel surfaces, choose ISOVER AS-Quality products with hydrophobic and water repellent properties and low chloride content to reduce the risk of corrosion under the insulation (CUI).

Finally there is a selection of different facings, such as reinforced aluminium foil or non-woven glass tissue, to complete the product range.

So whatever your requirement, ISOVER has the right solution for you.

For the walls of tanks operating at continuous temperatures up to 250°C, ISOVER glass wool slabs offer the ideal solution, combining lightweight and efficient thermal insulation with acoustic insulation to reduce noise transmission.

Lightweight and quick to install, ISOVER glass wool slabs can be used with a range of different factory-applied or independent facings to provide enhanced performance in key areas such as mechanical strength, water/ humidity resistance and acoustics.

As well as the range of high performance slabs, ISOVER also offers light crimped and lamella mats for higher mechanical stability in tank wall constructions up to 400°C. Compression packaged in rolled form, they cut transport requirements, are easier to handle and reduce installation time with fewer joints to minimise thermal bridging. Their flexible structure also means they even adapt perfectly to fit curved and uneven tank wall surfaces.

For higher temperatures ISOVER offers a special range of solutions in ULTIMATE for high energy efficiency and stone wool for advanced mechanical performance.
