Case Studies
The LINDE's monitoring records indicate that the average pressure level of the tank was 1500 (kpa) before the tank was painted with INSULADD ThermalBlock Radiant Barrier Tank and Pipe Coating. The achieved estimated annual savings each yeay after the application of INSULADD ThermalBlock is USD$3,000 and the average pressure level in the tank was 1277 (kpa).
The cost for painting the tank was about $1,000 USD, A full payback and return on investment within a period of four (4) months.
Conclusion
- Potential Huge Savings for Cryogenic Tank or Pipe Owners or Manufacturers
- Hassle Free Method
- Short Payback Period
- An Investment rather than Expenditure
- Huge potential savings for Petroleum & Chemical Storage Facilities.
