• Insulate piping, towers, tanks, and drums for entire new Cheil polycarbonate plant in South Korea.
• The design goal was heat conservation.
• Process temperature was 121°–343°C (250°–650°F).

Aerogel Solution

• Aspen Aerogels provided a large supply of Pyrogel® 6350 and Pyrogel® 10350 material for insulating the plant.

Benefits

• The Pyrogel insulation met heat conservation requirements throughout the plant.
• The insulation was efficient to install, particularly on towers and vessels, enabling contractors to lower the labor cost and total installed cost.
• The aerogel solution was one of the lowest total installed cost solutions.
• The aerogel solution also provided huge energy savings due to its water resistance properties.
