The devil is in the details! And this is also applicable to many hidden costs!
A petrochemical plant is a complex facility with many processes running 24/7. The maintenance of piping and casing of the petrochemical furnace for instance, is very important to let the operation run smoothly. Failure on this will bring very high costs.
But did you ever think about the costs of loosing energy in your process?
Unwanted cold air ingress due to leaks around for example tube penetrations in your furnace will increase your energy usage considerably. To prevent this, Insulcon has a variety of flexible seals in its offering to minimize this issue and let you save on your energy costs.
One of them is the Wearflex® quilted sleeve. Those sleeves are flexible seals and designed to seal all kind of tube penetrations, through the wall or the roof of for example cracking furnaces. They are suitable to absorb large axial and lateral movements, prevent cold air ingress through the protrusion and are applicable up to 900°C. Next to this, they can absorb axial as well as lateral movements.
