LIT Industries, and its parent company, Pacor, Inc (Bordentown, NJ) now stock and fabricate aerogel insulation for refining and petrochemical piping, vessel and tank applications. Available as either Pyrogel® (for high temperature applications) or Cryogel™ (for cryogenic applications), aerogel products are now available from stock from both our North Carolina and New Jersey locations.
Pyrogel offers these special applications:
- Overwrap System – A single layer of 6 mm Pyrogel XT with metal jacket is wrapped over the existing insulation and jacketing to drive the moisture out of the wet inner layers, resulting in improved thermal performance and reduced operating costs.
- High Temperature Composite System – Most high temperature insulation materials have to be applied in extremely large thicknesses to achieve required insulating values. Because of its extremely reduced thickness and profile, Pyrogel XT can be used in combination with other materials to substantially reduce thickness.
- Economical Combination System – A single 6 mm layer of Pyrogel XT can be applied to the inner surface of such rigid materials as perlite and calcium silicate to provide a "cushioning" effect, which reduces damage and waste. Adding Pyrogel XT also lessens the amount of rigid insulation needed, reducing the overall thickness by 50% - 80%.
Cryogel is the ultimate thermal protection for cryogenic applications, and is currently used in a number of LNG applications.
