Congratulations to all the participants and winners of the 1st annual NIA's Insulation Project Art Gallery Showcase and Competition. Thank you to the 13 companies who participated! The goal of this showcase was to highlight the creativity, artistry, and craftsmanship of contractor projects representing mechanical and industrial insulation systems.<\/p>\n
Pipe insulation was a 2-layer, half round shiplap, staggered joints with vapor retarder. The elbows were either a foam 2 piece or a 2-layer two-piece rubber due to tight installation positioning and chosen to reduce the amount of seams\/cut joints and provide a vapor retarder. Rubber was used on flanges and valves for maintenance. Outside, aluminum jacketing was used to withstand the elements, with stainless banding (not screws) to keep the vapor barrier undamaged. On the fittings bigger than stamped 2-piece fittings, gored segments were installed. Jacketing with two different colors for supply and return allows brewery employees to easily identify systems.<\/p>\n

Please describe the design considerations for the insulation, or reasons <\/strong>why any part is not insulated.<\/strong> <\/p>\n Our scope of work for the project consisted of insulating new mash cookers, stills, and vessels for the expansion, which was completed in phases beginning with the mash cookers. The application includes a high heat cooker that requires a quick cool down. The four photos depict the different phases of construction, with the facility erected around the now insulated mash cookers. The number of protrusions required precise design and application.<\/p>\n Please describe the design considerations for the insulation or reasons why <\/strong>any part is not insulated.<\/strong> <\/p>\n Sound blankets were fabricated to reduce sound from pipes, vessels, and equipment used for natural gas distribution. Sound enclosures were erected with tube steel and box rib. These enclosures were installed over instrumentation, actuator valves, and other pieces of equipment that needed to be accessible. The sound enclosures were lined with duct liner board and had loaded vinyl with silicone cloth door flaps.<\/p>\n Please describe the design considerations for the insulation or reasons <\/strong>why any part is not insulated.<\/strong> <\/p>\n Removal and re-installation of insulation and covering after repair of large-scale boiler duct. This project was a remote site at a generation station. Duct size was 40 ft. x 40 ft. and up to 10 stories in height. Please describe the design considerations for the insulation, or reasons why any part is not insulated.<\/strong> N\/A<\/p>\n Installation of insulation and lagging on two horizontal vessels for thermal efficiency and personnel protection. A prefabricated insulated vertical panel system also was installed on a crude oil tank.<\/p>\n Please describe the design considerations for the insulation or reasons <\/strong>why any part is not insulated.<\/strong> The project was to exchange and replace exposed elements. It was also an energy saving and personal protection project.<\/p>\n Please describe the design considerations for the insulation or reasons <\/strong>why any part is not insulated<\/strong>. Cameron LNG is a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal situated along the Calcasieu Channel in Hackberry, Louisiana to provide global markets with direct access to LNG supplies on the deep-water ship channel with a 3-train natural gas export liquefaction facility.<\/p>\n Please describe the design considerations for the insulation or reasons <\/strong>why any part is not insulated. Project Cold Storage Warehouse<\/p>\n Please describe the design considerations for the insulation or reasons <\/strong>why any part is not insulated<\/strong>. The project was to insulate 180 feet of pipe above water for a steel mill\u2019s sanitary sewer while floating on a barge. It required skill and problem solving to overcome obstacles. The entire section of piping was insulated including flanges and a check valve.<\/p>\n Please describe the design considerations for the insulation or reasons <\/strong>why any part is not insulated<\/strong>. <\/p>\n The MSG Sphere is the largest spherical music and entertainment arena in Las Vegas. It was designed by Populous to seat 18,600 visitors for a one-of-a-kind immersive video and audio experience. The insulation system includes custom patterned perforated metal panels over acoustical insulation and then a plaster system that includes an acoustic insulation board.<\/p>\n Please describe the design considerations for the insulation or reasons <\/strong>why any part is not insulated.<\/strong> New construction for a hot service vessel in West Texas.<\/p>\n Please describe the design considerations for the insulation or reasons why <\/strong>any part is not insulated<\/strong>. Our Project consisted of insulating the Ammonia system for a food processing facility. Low temp vessel had 6\" thick double layer Polystyrene. High temp vessel had 4\" thick double layer Polystyrene.<\/p>\n Please describe the design considerations for the insulation or reasons why <\/strong>any part s not insulated<\/strong>.

\n
\nThis project was designed solely for acoustics to reduce the decibel through pipe and equipment and not for thermal properties. The materials were chosen for their sound attenuating properties. A coating was applied and then covered with custom-made thermal blankets to reduce sound.<\/p>\nParticipants\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
