High temperature tank wall and roof

Top view of with foamglas insulated storage tanks

Thermal insulation tank wall and roof solutions for tanks operating at above ambient temperatures. Our tank wall and roof systems will limit heat transfer and provide mechanical, moisture and corrosion resistance so that process control is assured.

Storage tanks are used to hold a variety of organic liquids or gases including raw materials, intermediates, final products or usable byproducts. High amounts of energy can be wasted due to hot storage tanks not having proper insulation. 

Tanks can vary in design and equipment, the type of construction and the storage temperature often depends on the properties of the products that are going to be stored in them.  With such a broad variety of chemicals, a detailed assessment is necessary to ensure that all aspects are taken into consideration to ensure that a product can be stored and handled in a safe and efficient manner.

Without a reliable insulation system, storage tanks can lose energy, money and put employees at risk. The growing worldwide demand for chemical products and proper storage and handling makes energy efficiency and safety of storage tanks even more important.

 

 

A well performing insulation system for your tank walls and roof will save energy, lower maintenance costs and improve worker safety around hot storage tanks. The temperature difference between the outside temperature and the temperature inside of the tank can differ quite a lot making the tank walls and roof of a hot storage tank are areas that are susceptible for heat transfer and energy loss. Therefore, it’s imperative to have a good thermal insulation system installed to help reduce energy loss and costs. 

The impermeable, closed-cell nature of FOAMGLAS® insulation will help limit ingress of moisture and possible Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) risks that could deteriorate storage tanks.  Should a leakage occur, most hazardous substances or fumes do not impact FOAMGLAS® tank base systems, helping to protect tank content.  

  • Single or double layer system of FOAMGLAS® insulation.
  • The insulation system shall be fully bonded to the substrate with PC® adhesive appropriate for the application conditions.
  • Coating or cladding appropriate for the environmental conditions shall be installed to protect insulation system from weather and mechanical damage.
