Slug catchers at a gas-processing plant in West Texas, USA.
Late in the project schedule, the team needed immediate, no-wait passive fire protection on a pair of slug catchers. Pyrogel® XTF delivered both thermal performance and PFP in one material — protected on schedule, reusable for inspection.
End-of-project insulation crunch with PFP requirements.
The insulation phase is always near the end of a project — and this site needed immediate, no-wait PFP on a remote West Texas gas plant.
- Compressed schedule at project end. Insulation phase always near completion.
- Immediate, no-wait fire protection. No window to wait for cure or coating cycles.
- Remote West Texas location. Logistics for traditional PFP materials would have slipped the schedule.
Pyrogel® XTF delivers thermal + PFP in a single blanket.
One material, fast install — the slug catchers protected on time without separate PFP and thermal trades.
- Thermal and passive fire protection in one. No staged coatings; install once.
- Versatile format, intuitive install. Fast even with non-specialist labor.
- Removable and reusable for inspection. Reduces total cost of ownership over the asset life.
- Superior CUI / CUF protection. Same material, no PFP-coating compatibility issues.
Slug catchers protected on time.
Pyrogel® XTF’s versatile format and fast, intuitive install ensured the slug catchers were protected on schedule with passive fire protection delivered alongside thermal — no separate coating trade required.
