Thermal Insulation

Cold and Hot Pipe and Vessel Insulation in Oil and Gas Projects – WGC Company

At WGC Company, we prioritize the efficient insulation of hot and cold pipes and vessels in oil and gas projects to enhance safety, optimize energy use, and ensure compliance with industry standards. Hot insulation is essential for pipelines and vessels transporting high-temperature fluids such as steam and heated oil. It minimizes heat loss, improves system efficiency, and protects personnel from burns. Common insulation materials for high-temperature applications include calcium silicate, mineral wool, and ceramic fiber, which offer excellent thermal resistance and durability.

For cold insulation, WGC Company implements specialized solutions to maintain low temperatures in systems handling cryogenic or chilled fluids, such as LNG and refrigeration units. Effective cold insulation prevents condensation, energy loss, and ice formation, which could compromise operational integrity. We utilize materials like polyisocyanurate (PIR), polyurethane (PU) foam, and cellular glass, known for their low thermal conductivity and moisture resistance.

At WGC Company, we ensure all insulation systems are designed and installed following industry standards such as ASTM, API, and ISO 12241, preventing corrosion under insulation (CUI), reducing thermal expansion stress, and prolonging the lifespan of infrastructure. Our insulation solutions contribute to the reliability and efficiency of oil and gas facilities, supporting sustainable and cost-effective operations.
