LNG Pipe Insulation
- Criteria and Selection Jim
Young, application technology leader, Dow Chemical
Company Engineers designing and specifying systems
and selecting materials for LNG-pipe insulation
face a myriad of alternatives. Dow has considerable
experience with LNG insulation. Young has been asked
to review the insulation needs for LNG facilities,
the types of decisions to be made, and Dow's approach.

Using Perlite Insulation for LNG Storage and
Processes Tom Potzer, consultant,
Perlite Specialist Perlite has been used for many years in LNG
facilities and has played a significant role in
insulating large cryogenic tanks. Perlite concrete
blocks have also been used for the base insulation
of double wall cryogenic tanks and perlite loose
fill has been used to insulate the annular spaces
in these tanks as well as cold boxes and ships.
Potzer has been asked to discuss new innovations
with perlite and how it is being used most effectively
today.

LNG Insulation Technology: Introduction to Aerogel
Insulation Blankets
John Williams, market research manager, Aspen Aerogels Aerogels
are highly porous solids formed from a gel in which
the liquid is replaced with a gas. It has been called
the world’s lightest solid, consisting of more
than 95% air. Williams has been asked to describe

coatings, refractory, abatement, etc.). It was
the contractor for the Elba Island insulation.
Smith has been asked to describe the issues around
insulating an LNG terminal, the attributes of
insulative materials that help in the installation
and commissioning, as well as the life-cycle cost
of the product.
