If you dread removing and reinstalling fiberglass, calcium silicate, or rockwool insulation, you are not alone! But guess what? Insulation installation and maintenance does not have to be so difficult. There is an easier way.
Insulation is a necessary part of many tank operations. Unfortunately, corrosion under insulation can be a huge problem, accounting for high maintenance costs and equipment failures.
For all the ways that insulation can improve safety and process efficiency, it can also cause moisture to sit on pipes for prolonged periods of time, which can then lead to corrosion. This corrosion, which occurs under the insulation (otherwise known as CUI) can weaken equipment, leading to dangerous leaks, spills, and contamination.
