Thermal Insulation

ContraFlex®

ContraFlex® Thermal Insulation jackets save energy, CO2 output and costs on plant room equipment and boilers.

Thermal energy savings

Example 4” valve in a plant room with 50mm insulation jacket

Advanced Insulation have a dedicated team of surveyors qualified to measure dimensional and heat loss information from valves, flanges and other plant room equipment. This information can be fed back to a unique heat loss survey program in order to calculate the expected savings in both CO2 and energy costs.

Using state of the art surveying technology, each valve, flange or piece of equipment is examined for energy losses, surface temperature and CO2 emissions. ContraFlex® Insulation jackets provide extremely short term returns on investment, whilst also protecting personnel against elevated temperatures.

Energy Survey Executive Summary

*Actual UK example

High Temperature Insulation Jackets

ContraFlex® High Temperature Insulation jackets are utilised where application operating temperatures are anywhere up to 1100°C. Hot surfaces dissipate heat quickly, so it is important to maintain equipment temperatures as well as protect personnel from potentially harmful burns.

These jackets are often used to effectively insulate turbines, boilers, pipes, flanges, valves and vessels.

Where traditional materials would fail, high temperature insulation jackets

come equipped with specifically selected infills, fabrics and fixings for the desired application.

Site surveys are conducted to determine the location of installation, environment, measurements of equipment and design, i.e. where access points are required.

A range of insulation infill materials are available including needlemat, AES wool or Pyrogel® depending on the application temperature and specification.

High Temperature Turbine Insulation

ContraFlex®

ContraFlex® High Temperature Insulation jackets have a large track record on steam and gas turbine installations worldwide

ContraFlex® High Temperature Turbine Insulation jackets provide a removable solution up to three times more efficient than traditional methods, dramatically reducing shut-down times. Overall cost savings through reduced manpower, scaffolding and ease of installation.

The ContraFlex® brand has been used by EDF Energy at nuclear power stations across the UK, including EDF Hartlepool - where it was used to insulate a number of applications including IP and HP governors and stops, IP cylinders, MBFP cylinders and at Hinkley Point B, covering similar applications.

With shutdown periods costing a typical nuclear power station in excess of £1million per day, ContraFlex® reliably delivers fast turnaround and significant savings for contractors and end users alike.

ContraFlex® jacket patterns can be tailored to all Turbine Manufacturers specifications globally.

Trace Heating Jackets

ContraFlex®

ContraFlex® can be fitted with integrated trace heating to maintain equipment temperatures and/or prevent frost

ContraFlex® Trace Heating jackets provide a solution for flow assurance, to prevent the formation of waxes or crystallisation. ContraFlex® Trace Heating jackets are fitted with a trace heated cable and a thermostat or regulator for quick and easy removal and re-installation.

If the temperature drops below the desired level, the trace heated cable would raise the temperature of the equipment back up to the relevant operating temperature.

Equipment located in harsh environments, particularly in the winter months, can be subject to freezing. ContraFlex® Trace Heating jackets provide winter protection for water treatment plants, refineries and offshore facilities where flow assurance is critical.

ContraFlex® jackets can be designed and manufactured in accordance with the NORSOK R-004 specification for frost protection.

Cryogel® Insulation and ContraFlex®

ContraFlex®

ContraFlex® Cryogel® Insulation jackets are designed for equipment with regular inspection and maintenance requirements

Cryogel® Z insulation provides a solution for below ambient temperature applications within LNG and oil and gas processing facilities. Cryogel® Z, by Aspen Aerogel has a lower k-value than other insulation materials on the market, meaning that less insulation thickness is required.

ContraFlex® has been used alongside Cryogel® on valve, flange and fitting insulation to provide a removable outer skin, designed to make the application process quicker.

Advanced Insulation supply the complete package consisting of Cryogel® Insulation with an insulation or PFP jacket outer layer, depending on the client specification.

For cold insulation plus PFP, ContraFlex® provides a solution suitable for jet fires or hydrocarbon pool fires.

Cold Insulation and Temperature Control

ContraFlex®

ContraFlex® insulation and passive fire protection jackets can be used within LNG facilities in conjunction with cryogenic insulation

The application of Cryogel® and ContraFlex® is very simple. First, the Cryogel® Z insulation is installed using foil tape and vapour barriers as per the Aspen Aerogel recommended application procedure. The system is finished with a weather protection layer or primary vapour barrier, before installing the ContraFlex® insulation or PFP jacket.

ContraFlex® works in conjunction with most major cold insulation materials, making it an ideal solution for valves or equipment subject to maintenance.
