Undergound storage vessels
Thermal insulation solutions for underground vessels operating at below or above ambient temperatures. Our systems for direct burial provide high compressive strength while limiting heat transfer providing mechanical, moisture and corrosion resistance so that process control is assured and energy costs are kept at a minimum.
installed and maintained properly, underground vessels can have the potential for hazards. Possible leaks or damages to the vessel can exist undetected for years and could cause severe consequences in terms of overall safety and soil pollution.
Many underground vessels are made of steel and therefore could be subjected to corrosion because of leakages, overfilling or direct contact with ground water. This is one of the reasons why underground vessels should be insulated with an insulation system that is capable of meeting the mechanical and corrosion resistance requirements of direct burial, while providing long-term insulation efficiency.
Due to the pressure of the surrounding soil, it’s important to choose an insulation material that has a high compressive strength without additional structural protection. This will help to ensure that the insulation does not compress, which could harm the thermal efficiency and overall performance of the system.
FOAMGLAS® cellular glass insulation system can help to protect your underground vessel from possible ingress of any moisture or other liquids which will limit corrosion of the tank itself. It can help the system to remain dry, which helps to maintain its thermal efficiency, process control, and content integrity, while lowering operating costs.
The high compressive strength of FOAMGLAS® insulation makes it an ideal material for direct burial applications because it can withstand the soil pressure. It’s high compressive strength allows it to maintain same thermal properties throughout the lifetime of the vessel.
Because it is non-combustible and will not absorb liquid hydrocarbons, it contributes to the fire safety of the installation. Should a leakage occur, it will not absorb the possibly flammable liquids.
