Insulation

What is Mechanical Insulation?

Mechanical insulation is a thermal barrier, commonly applied to surrounding pipes, ducts or tanks that reduce the transfer of heat. This keeps the respective hot or cold temperatures contained, controls moisture to prevent mold growth and aids in energy (and cost) conservation.

A tool that pays for itself

The return on investment from properly installed mechanical insulation comes through reducing energy costs, reducing emissions, protecting lives and increasing the life expectancy of costly equipment.

Following completed Superior Industrial Insulation projects, a public university in Ohio realized a return on investment in 10 months, while an industrial steel mill facility had an ROI for their mechanical insulation in less than 30 days.

Industrial Insulation

Mechanical insulation effectively reduces heat loss or gain in mechanical systems, helping facilities maintain optimal process temperatures with less energy input. This translates directly into lower utility costs, reduced fuel consumption and a smaller carbon footprint.

Commercial Insulation

Mechanical insulation delivers significant energy savings for commercial buildings by minimizing heat loss and gain in HVAC systems, piping and ductwork. Proper insulation helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures, reducing the workload on heating and cooling equipment.

Cryogenic Insulation

Cryogenic insulation is essential for safely storing and transporting extremely low-temperature substances such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquid oxygen and other industrial gases. By minimizing heat transfer into cryogenic systems, this specialized insulation helps maintain the required low temperatures, preventing product loss through evaporation or boil-off.

Removable Blankets

Removable insulation blankets are reusable, tailor-made covers engineered to insulate valves, flanges, pumps, turbines and other critical components. Unlike traditional insulation, these blankets can be quickly removed and reinstalled.

Spray Foam Insulation

Spray Foam

Spray foam insulation is a high-performance insulation material that expands on contact to fill gaps, cracks, and voids throughout your building envelope. Unlike traditional insulation materials, spray foam creates an airtight seal that prevents air leakage while delivering some of the highest R-values available in the insulation industry.

Corrosion Under Insulation

Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is one of the most costly and persistent challenges in industrial maintenance. Advanced coatings under insulation are engineered to provide long-term corrosion protection in the harshest thermal cycling and moisture conditions – without sacrificing productivity or compliance.

Superior Insulation Energy Audits

Energy Audits

The goal of a mechanical insulation energy audit is to help building owners and facility managers reduce energy consumption, lower utility costs, improve system efficiency and support sustainability initiatives by optimizing the performance of mechanical insulation throughout the facility.
