CELLULAR GLASS INSULATION for lng applications
FOAMGLAS® Cellular Glass Insulation vs Cold-Service Aerogel Blanket Insulation in Cryogenic Applications
This white paper compares FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation and cold-service aerogel blanket insulation in many important categories for cold/cryogenic applications.
Insulating LNG Piping
In August of 2024, a market installation study was conducted by and independent, third-party insulation contractor, commissioned by Owens Corning Insulation Systems, LLC.
This study timed the installation of different insulating materials to a common specification to analyze both, time to install as well as cost of labor and materials.
WHY CHOOSE FOAMGLAS® CELLULAR GLASS Insulation?
Discover the benefits of using FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation for your industrial LNG applications.
The equipment in LNG storage and loading facilities and receiving terminals (except vaporizers and downstream equipment) operate at an approximate temperature of -161°C (-258°F) and require appropriate insulation.
There are several regulations and requirements that involve fire risk assessment and protection. Frankly, it can be confusing to understand, but this paper will clarify the basic requirements a facility needs to follow and how industrial insulation can play a role in helping to make LNG facilities a safe place to work.
LNG is a mixture of low-molecular-weight hydrocarbons that has been cooled down to liquid form for ease and safety of non-pressurized storage or transport. Multiple critical factors should be evaluated to determinate whether an insulation system should be considered for LNG service.
