AIS provides winterisation solution for sewage treatment plant

Our client, a sewage treatment plant in Litchfield, required winterisation of pipework and valves to ensure their smooth operation during the approaching winter months. The concern was that when left unprotected, the pipes would freeze, and ice would cause them to expand, potentially leading to costly repair work and extensive downtime. Both insulating and weather resistant, AIS ContraFlex® jackets were chosen as the ideal solution for protecting essential equipment from the elements.

EDF continue to trust AIS to repair and replace turbine fleet insulation jackets

Building trust is at the forefront of what we do. Therefore, we are delighted to report that EDF has used ContraFlex® jackets to repair and replace jackets on valves, governors and stops in various stations for over eight years. Since every turbine is unique, our team continues to make bespoke applications to fit the customer's turbines. Furthermore, the removal and maintenance of our jackets is up to three times quicker than traditional methods - resulting in millions in cost savings for EDF.

PFP helps maintain operations in the Arctic

Operating in arctic temperatures, our customer has three gravity-based structures (GBS) with LNG and condensate storage in the hull. Each structure needed protection to ensure it would remain operational and exceed health and safety requirements. We recommended that the GBS have winterisation and acoustic protection that met fire and blast criteria and would exceed health and safety requirements.

CASE STUDY

Jackets cause positive reaction for chemical company

C-Capture designs and installs innovative carbon capture technology using post-combustion capture of carbon dioxide from emissions across a range of industries. Operating across a broad range of temperatures, C-Capture needed the solution designed, manufactured and fitted on piping, valves, vessels, heat exchangers, pots and separators before shipping the skid unit fully insulated.

Highlights

The challenge

C-Capture's compact design meant our team had to be careful of clash points. We also had to work with minimal space available to install the insulation jackets. The skid's variable design meant C-Capture required an efficient, flexible solution that could be adjusted on site where required.

Our design

Our team consulted C-Capture on a wide range of designs, fabrics and infills. We were able to provide a tailor-made removable and cost-effective solution for process skids as a result. The infill materials were changed where clash points occurred to ensure the jackets would provide maximum insulation properties in small spaces.

The improvement

All jackets were installed in significantly less time when compared with traditional cladding type insulation. This was a result of our product design and expertise.

Cost-effective solution provided within tight timescale

C-Capture were delighted with the product and service offered by our team. Design, production and installation were completed within a three-week window ensuring that they achieved their project timescales. Our material expertise was a real benefit to the team as they were not familiar with the range of infills or fabrics available for flexible jackets.

Other highlights

For future maintenance purposes, all drawings and parts were labelled to ensure replacement jackets could be ordered if required or new parts installed on otherOur consultative approach with C-Capture provided a high-quality product with a fast turnaround for allC-Capture were delighted with the results: "We are very pleased with the quality of the product, the ease of removal and We're also very grateful for the quick turn around you were able to provide, thank you." - C-Capture Process Engineer.
