High-Temp Insulation: Ceramic Fiber's Role in the Oil & Gas Industry

In today's economy, oil and gas are an intrinsic part of manufacturing across all industries. They are the building blocks of many products, such as plastics and chemicals.??

Oil and gas are energy sources for several industries, such as steel production. If not used directly in production, oil and gas are necessary for transporting goods and services over road, rail, or air.??

The role of ceramic fiber

Converting extracted oil into usable products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, etc., requires processing at high temperatures. This changes the oil's chemical makeup and purifies it for conversion into different product forms.

Conversion typically involves processing the oil via tubes that pass through a high temperature furnace, essentially a sizeable box-shaped structure critical for the process. Due to the refractory/insulation package, these furnaces must minimize heat loss.??

Ceramic fiber products (blankets, modules) are not just effective, they are also highly reliable and offer the lowest heat loss and maximum efficiency for this application.?

This reliability ensures that throughput can be maximized, and the heat input into the process can be optimized, providing a secure solution for your high-temp needs.

Unlocking the Potential of Ceramic Fiber in the Oil and Gas Industry

Ceramic fiber has been available in the oil and gas industry since the 1970s. However, many companies must fully implement these highly efficient materials into their standard design practices and considerations
