World-renowned hummus manufacturer, Sabra, which is jointly owned by Pepsico and the Strauss Group, needed a reusable insulation option that was easy to sanitize for the garlic paste line at their South Chesterfield processing facility. The line, which spanned three separate rooms, needed to maintain a constant temperature of ~30F to avoid bacteria production. The company was having a difficult time finding an insulation option that could handle frequent sanitization and would not harbor bacteria or compromise the pipeline''s R-value. Because of this, the line operated uninsulated, resulting in a monthly loss of ~$100k in waste/scrap.
Thermal Analysis Shows Superiority of Dragon Jacket Insulation Compared to Fiberglass. Heat loss on pipelines and tanks is a process inefficiency that results in significant wasted energy and huge costs to businesses. Our analysis proves that Dragon Jacket can reduce annual heat loss by more than half when compared to Fiberglass and that larger pipe diameters represent the greatest opportunity for savings.
The team at the Hanford Nuclear site in Kennewick, Washington, needed an insulation solution for a complex section of outdoor waterline that kept freezing at pipe supports. The waterline was experiencing heat loss and freezing despite being equipped with a heat trace system, because the existing fiberglass and tin insulation had degraded, been exposed to moisture, and no longer provided its stated R-value. Hanford was looking for a long-term replacement solution that would be safe and easy to install for the sub-contractor, DKB Insulation, who needed to work lean and efficient in a lite-hazardous environment.
SoCal Gas needed an insulation solution to protect the pipes and fittings on an expansion at one of its Los Angeles area gas dehydration facilities. They needed insulation that provided better protection than the existing fiberglass and tin system that was repeatedly failing under the compression caused by regular foot traffic. The recurring damage resulted in denigrated insulation R-value and widespread pipeline CUI, as well as costly repairs and maintenance.
Dragon Jacket Insulation Protects Forced Main Sewer Line on Suspension Bridge in Bonners Ferry Maintaining team member safety and protecting the river from contamination were top priorities on this forced sewer line insulation project that spanned the entire length of a suspension bridge on the Kootenai River in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Crews needed to be able to work quickly and efficiently as they installed one new line and replaced an existing line.
Excel Loading Systems manufacturers loading arms for the safe and efficient transfer of liquids and gasses to trucks, railcars, and totes. For clients operating in extreme weather, Excel needed to be able to provide a complete insulation solution for their arms that has an R-value capable of keeping liquids from freezing during transport and loading/offloading. Due to the loading arms'' complex design and moving parts, the insulation had to be fully customizable, flexible enough to allow for movement, and durable enough to withstand harsh operational conditions.
Welch-Comer Engineering, out of Spokane Valley, WA, was tasked with finding a viable insulation solution for the Whitworth Water District''s underground pipeline project in Spokane, WA. The project consisted of two hundred feet of slowly curving radius pipeline to be installed underground within a twenty-inch steel casing.
In the harsh North Dakota winters, where temperatures can drop to -40, the oil and gas industry needs insulation products to protect their pipelines from freezing. In order to protect their wellhead componentry, RTR Oilfield Services called upon Dragon Jacket for a customized insulation solution.
Government officials in the city of Kellogg, Idaho needed an insulation solution to protect a water main spanning across the Elizabeth Park Bridge. The one-hundred feet of pipeline operates under the stress of vibration from vehicle traffic and required a durable insulation solution that could withstand constant movement, while also providing protective benefits against the freezing temperatures of harsh Northern Idaho winters. To ensure maximum functionality, they installed Dragon Jacket insulation across the length of the pipeline.
