Offshore Plant

Aerogel insulation solution for FPSO, FLNG, and other floating production facilities
FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) and FSO (Floating Storage and Offloading) systems are economical offshore production methods widely used in marine oil and gas production regions worldwide.
These floating production facilities have the ability to economically access oil and gas fields located in deep seas or remote waters.

Various forms of marine floating facilities such as FPSO, FLNG, and FSRU play a key role in the global energy industry, and performance that can withstand extreme marine environments is essential.
While insulation is applied to these vessels to meet specific thermal requirements, conventional insulation materials often failed to adequately withstand the harsh conditions of marine environments.

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is a major hidden threat in marine facilities.
Using insulation materials that are resistant to saltwater and mechanical impact and can simplify operator work at sea can significantly improve vessel safety and dramatically reduce CUI-related downtime.

When conventional insulation materials absorb water, they create an environment that causes internal corrosion, which can lead to serious asset damage, product loss, and operational delays.
Additionally, when insulation materials get wet, their insulation performance deteriorates rapidly, becoming virtually useless, which also reduces the vessel's production capacity.

Our aerogel blankets are specifically designed for these marine industry environments, providing excellent insulation performance, simplified maintenance and repair (TAR) work,
and stability that can be operated without worrying about insulation performance degradation.

Advantages
