CRYOGENIC INSULATION WITH PERLITE

During expansion the bubbles account for the excellent insulating properties and light weight of Expanded Perlite. It is because of these unique properties that Perlite has found wide acceptance in the insulation of cryogenic and low temperature storage tanks, cold boxes, shipping containers and food processing facilities. In addition to its thermal properties, Perlite is relatively low in cost, easy to handle and non-flammable.

Advantage

  • Perlite insulation exhibits low thermal conductivity and has excellent thermal properties.
  • Does not shrink, swell, warp or slump.
  • Low cost, easy to handle and install.
  • Non-combustible, meeting fire regulations and therefore lowers insurance rates.
  • Inorganic material that is vermin and rot resistant.
  • As a result of its closed cell structure, the material does not retain moisture.

Amol Dicalite Limited has executed many Perlite Cryogenic Insulation projects and so far we have successfully completed insulation of 23 LNG tanks including 3 tanks in Guangdong, China and 8 tanks in Qatar. In fact in last one year we have completed 9 LNG tanks in USA, Qatar and in India.

In year 2009, we have performed insulation on one ‘LIVE’ LNG tank (live top-up) in the USA.

All of our Portable Plants were designed specifically for site expansion work based on the experience gained through over 40 years of doing this work in the field. These Portable Plants incorporate the most reliable technology that we have been able to develop over these many years of experience.

We now have seven (7) Portable Plants that are capable of working anywhere in the world and also an internal vibration system for big LNG tanks that is successfully developed and very efficient. We can give our clients just about any level of forced settlement they require to pre load the resilient blanket on these tanks. We have insulated large size LNG tanks in India, Qatar, China and the USA.

Amol Dicalite Limited has insulated numbers of Cold Boxes and Double Wall Storage Tanks like Ethylene, Propylene, LOX, LIN, LAR etc.

Amol Dicalite Limited has experienced people (‘Perliters’) who operates a fixed Perlite Plant at our factory also operates the Portable Plants since 1990 to execute cryogenic insulation jobs worldwide. The company has a large and highly trained team of Indian and American nationals. The team we have is very well equipped and well trained to execute jobs in time, on schedule and in budget.
