Are there any experience shares regarding insulation for the tower bases in atmospheric and vacuum distillation units?
Thread Content
Regarding the skirt bases of the towers in atmospheric and vacuum distillation units, for example, the outer wall temperature of the atmospheric tower skirt base is relatively high; ordinary paint tends to peel off, which affects its appearance and also leads to heat loss. No insulating materials are used in the design. Are there any experiences regarding insulation that can be shared? What materials should be used?
Based on the welding requirements at the junction of the tower skirt and the tower, it is better to apply a layer of insulation. Prevent burns, reduce heat loss, and minimize welding stress at joints.
