Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Thermal Insulation for the Mechanical Systems of a Refinery and Process Plant. It covers the importance of thermal insulation in industrial applications including the materials and their properties; the types of insulation materials, thermal conductivity and insulation performance factors; the considerations for temperature range, fire resistance, moisture resistance, and chemical compatibility; the material selection criteria, insulation cladding and protective finishes; and the insulated piping systems, insulation thickness and requirements. Further, the course will also discuss the insulation for pressure vessels and tanks; thermal insulation requirements for different types of vessels; the insulation thickness calculations based on temperature differentials and operating condition; the insulation installation methods for vessels and tanks; the insulation cladding design and corrosion protection measures; the insulation requirements for heat exchangers and boilers; the insulation selection criteria based on operating temperatures and heat transfer rates; the insulation for different types of heat exchangers; the insulation considerations for boiler components; and the insulation installation and maintenance practices for heat exchangers and boilers.During this interactive course, participants will learn the insulation requirements for HVAC ductwork and air handling systems; the insulation for acoustic control, vibration damping, piping and equipment in hazardous areas; the insulation testing procedures and methods; the insulation density, thickness verification, moisture and water vapor barrier testing; the quality assurance and inspection of installed insulation systems; the maintenance practices for insulation systems; the inspection and monitoring of insulation for damage, degradation, and moisture ingress; the repair and replacement methods for damaged insulation; the insulation retrofitting and upgrade strategies.; and the maintenance planning and documentation for insulation systems. link to course overview PDF
