Storage Tank Insulation

Storage tank insulation to prevent thermal loss and thermal bridges

Storage tank insulation can help prevent heat loss, thermal bridges, and corrosion, ensuring optimal operation and energy efficiency for this essential part of many industrial processes.

The temperature of materials stored in tanks can vary greatly from process to process, so providing an appropriate insulation solution is of utmost importance.

PAROC® high-density stonewool storage tank insulation can withstand extremely high temperatures. This ensures maximum thermal efficiency, which leads to reduced energy consumption and costs.

It must also be noted that both storage tank walls and tank roofs need to be adequately insulated to guarantee optimal thermal resistance.

High-performance industrial tank insulation

PAROC offers various high-performance insulation solutions for tank wall insulation and tank roof insulation. We have a full range of water-repellent (WR) products (pipe sections, pipe elbow solutions, slabs, mats and wired mats). They all have very low water absorption and low chloride content, which can help to minimize the risk of corrosion under insulation (CUI). The average water absorption is 10 x lower than the toughest standards (EN13472/EN1607).

Benefits of PAROC® storage tank insulation

PAROC® Stonewool is a naturally derived insulation made by combining air with fine stones. The stones are melted and made into thin fibers that stick together with a small amount of binder. Thanks to the non-combustible raw material, stone wool is an ideal insulation material for high temperatures. PAROC® stonewool also offers a wide range of benefits:


Safer

Our innovative binder uses renewable, bio-based ingredients and emits up to 59% less monoisocyanates and up to 57% less formaldehyde emissions compared to known competing stone wool products.


Less downtime

Using PAROC lower emissions (LE) insulation products, there is a reduced need for preventative safety measures during and after installation, so systems can be up and running quicker.


Energy efficient

PAROC® Stonewool storage tank insulation has the potential to cut CO2 emissions and reduce thermal loss.


Durable

PAROC® industrial tank insulation products have a reference service life of a minimum of 50 years. Check the product-relevant DOPs for more information.


Indoor and outdoor applications

Water-repellent and suitable for a range of temperatures, PAROC® industrial tank insulation is appropriate for exposed and indoor tanks. We manufacture our range of insulation products and accessories to work in the toughest environments.


Minimal risk of corrosion

PAROC® industrial storage tank insulation has outstanding hydrophobic properties, very low levels of water-leachable chlorides and is non-acidic. Together, this helps to limit the risk of water getting trapped within the insulation material and reduce the costly consequences of corrosion under insulation (CUI).

Four specification guides on a gray background, related to industrial insulation systems

Industrial Insulation Systems

Specification Guides

We are pleased to announce a new initiative to support the most effective and durable installations of industrial insulation systems by offering four comprehensive specification guides: straight pipes, equipment, elbows, and tanks. These guides provide engineers, contractors, and facility owners with all the necessary information for the design, installation, and maintenance of their insulation systems.

Applications of storage tank insulation

We specially manufacture PAROC® industrial tank insulation solutions for tough environments.

Oil and gas: refineries, terminals and depots. Ideal for storage tanks containing crude oil or refined petroleum, liquefied natural gas (LNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

Power generation: power plants, anaerobic digestion tanks, district heating, CHP plants, solar power plants, biofuel storage.

Manufacturing, chemical and pharmaceutical: chemical and liquid raw material storage.

Farming and agriculture: storing fertilizers, pesticides, chemicals and anaerobic digestion tanks.

Water processing and treatment: drinking water, wastewater, chemical and processed water storage.
