Grupo Modelo, Guadalajara, Mexico - Steam Pipe Insulation

Reduction of energy consumption with steam pipe insulation and reduced surface temperature by 36 degrees F

Problem

Grupo Modelo needed steam pipe insulation at their Guadalajara, Mexico facility to insulate, reduce surface temperature, and protect equipment from corrosion and moisture.

Solution

Heat Shield™ High Heat was applied to heat interchangers - large steam pipes - and other equipment to insulate, protect against corrosion, and decrease the amount of energy used for equipment processes. Preliminary results showed a 20 degrees Centigrade (36 Fahrenheit) difference after a 3-coat coverage (approximate thickness of 7 mils dry film thickness).
