Our expertise in delivering professional custom aerogel solutions can revolutionize your project and pave the way to a greener and more efficient future.
Project Summary
It took 3 months to finish this insulation modification project in 2019 in Jiangsu, China.
Compared with the previous insulation material—aluminum silicate wool(160mm thick), our Thermosphere-HT650 High Temperature Aerogel Insulation Blanket(≤650℃)(50mm thick) can save over 40% energy of 1.7km urea medium-pressure steam pipeline in the chemical plant. What’s also saved is the pipeline installation spcace and costs of maintenance and disposal. As our aerogel blanket is 100% inorganic and lifespan up to 25 years.
Every year, almost 1700tons/km of CO2 emisson is reduced.
It took only 2.5 years for the chemical plant to recover the total investment(CNY2092,100). Worth it!

Technical Requirements
Furnace internal operating temperature is 1100℃. Previous insulation material failed to withstand this extreme temperature and the mechanical force during operation as the furnace rotates. Failure of insulation material resulted in uneven temperature rise and caused the furnace body to rupture. Issue needed to be addressed immediately.
Project Results:
Satisfied all technical requirements with only 1/2 of thickness of original design. External surface temperature maintained at 60℃, and reduced temperature difference between upper and lower parts of furnace. Client reported significantly faster temperature rise inside chamber after upgrade.
Technical Requirements
The overall pipeline is approximately 2 km long. During summer, the ambient temperature is quite high, and the temperature inside the pipeline needs to be maintained below -162°C to reduce the evaporation of LNG during transportation.
Project Results:
Aerogel insulation’s superior insulation performance effectively reduced the evaporation of LNG. Applying aerogel insulation also reduced the thickness of the insulation layer, making the entire pipeline more aesthetically pleasing. Aerogel has a long service life and good stability, which lowers the maintenance costs of the insulation material.
Technical Requirements
Reactor operating temperature 195℃.
Internal pressure 1.5 Mpa.
Maintain external surface temperature below 50 ℃ while operating.
Project Results:
With reduced insulation thickness, more operating space is freed. Noticeable increase in energy efficiency with low temperature fluctuation inside reactor chamber and reduced noise while operating.
Technical Requirements
Pipe diameter 159mm;
Steam operating parameters: • Temperature 300℃ • Pressure 9.9 Mpa • Flow volume 7.5 t/h • Flow rate 38.8 m/s
Reduce heat loss, maintain external surface temperature below 50℃
Project Results:
Satisfied all technical parameters with only 1/3 of thickness of original design. With unit heat loss of 68.8 W/m, the upgrade achieved 43.1% increase in energy efficiency.
Technical Requirements
Pipe diameter 377mm.
Heat Transfer Oil temperature 240℃.
Reduce heat loss, improve oil temperature at the end of pipeline.
Project Results:
After applying aerogel insulation, the thinner insulation layer created more operating space. Client reported a 41.8% increase in thermal efficiency compared to original design.
Technical Requirements
Liquid nitrogen must be kept below -198 ℃ to avoid loss from evaporation.
Condensation will also need to be prevented to reduce safety concern and maintenance cost.
Project Results:
After applying aerogel insulation, client reported a more stable internal temperature of storage tank and no condesation. The thinner insulation also allows more work space around the tank.
