IC provides solutions for insulation works, maintenance and modification services within the chemical and petrochemical industry. With over 40 years of experience IC is familiar with many complex processes and large process installations.

The IC solutions consist of bespoke systems and installation services for:

• Acoustic Insulation for compressors and high pressure piping systems
• (Jet) Fire protection for chemical and fuel storage areas and burners
• Thermal insulation for pipework, exhausts, distillation units, boilers and burners
• Cold – cryogenic insulation for cooling installations and liquefied gases like N₂, O₂ …
• Heat tracing for process and fire water lines

Fulfilling insulation and logistic needs

The installation of fire, acoustic or thermal insulation not only requires good preparation from the production side but also requires often a structured approach and precise logistical planning. Through a high degree of flexibility, we are able to match your needs in manpower and material with the existing schedules at your location.

Safety first

Not only is the staff of IC familiar with many permit to work systems but we are also very conscious of all required safety provisions. From the ‘Safety first’ perspective we have a strong commitment to work in a safe and responsible manner with the utmost respect for the health and safety of employees, customer staff and the environment in which we operate.

Dedicated and involved

Since the early ‘80s IC is the insulation-maintenance contractor for the Shell Global Solutions at the location Amsterdam and in this way has made its contribution optimizing and protecting many innovative developments in the petrochemical industry.

Thermal insulation

Thermal insulation is in chemical and petrochemical processes often applied on hot surfaces like exhaust systems to protect personnel. It can be applied as an anti-freezing protection on e.g. cooling water lines. Also process can be further optimized by improving process heat conservation or by avoiding crystallisation or coagulation of media. The engineers of IC can install the thermal insulation in combination with heat tracing to further improve processes and minimize process risks.

Fire protection

In many chemical and petrochemical installations fire protection is a major issue. With our new IGNIS PFP-BOX ™ we now can not only provide you with the regular high standard of fire protection but also with Jet Fire (JF150) classified protection solutions.

Acoustic insulation

With the acoustic insulation provisions and systems of IC you can not only protect your staff working in the vicinity of the noisy process installations but also reduce noise emissions to the environment.

For over 40 years IC provides safe thermal and fire proofing insulation solutions for tank storage and oil terminal applications. One of our first clients, back in 1977 was the owner of an oil terminal in the Port of Amsterdam. Since then, IC has not only provided insulation services and solutions to neighbouring terminals but also many facilities abroad.

The solutions of IC consist of:

• Thermal insulation of tanks, pipework and pumps
• Heat tracing of pipework and fire water lines
• Acoustic Insulation for compressors and high pressure piping systems
• (Jet) Fire protection for fuel storage area’s at oil terminals
• Cold – cryogenic insulation for liquefied gas storage area’s

Insulating tanks, pumps and pipelines

The insulation solutions are not only applied to storage tanks with often large diameters but also to belonging pumping stations and pipelines transporting e.g. chemicals, crude oil and heavy fuel oil. In many situations flexible mattresses (Jackets) are used to provide the desired insulation of sealing and the covering of tank field penetrations. The removable insulation mattresses by IC enable equipment to be well insulated in addition to providing easy access to components bellows. Thermal insulation is also often applied to service lines such as steam, condensate and firewater lines. Where desired the insulation can be made walkable at the topside of piping bundles at ground level.

Combined thermal insulation and heat tracing

Pipelines including pump stations often require a combined heat tracing (steam or electrical) and thermal insulation approach. This will for example avoid any crystallisation or coagulation of media in the lines. IC can help you with different kinds of thermal calculations, like heat loss, max surface temperature and heat up/ cool down times. Where required pumps may also be provided with acoustic insulation.

Safety when working at your location

Not only is the staff of IC familiar with many permit to work systems but we are also very conscious of all required safety provisions. From the ‘Safety first’ perspective we have a strong commitment to work in a safe and responsible manner with the utmost respect for the health and safety of employees, customer staff and the environment in which we operate.

Especially in Energy industry the application of insulation can contribute to substantial and sometimes even huge cost savings. These savings are not only caused by an improved process efficiency when cooling or heating media but also by reduced fuel consumptions and a reduction of the CO₂ emissions (preventing government sanctions). IC has over 40 years of experience in installing, refurbishing and maintaining insulation systems in the energy industry and we provide solutions for:

• Thermal insulations of pipework, boilers, exhausts, turbines and burners
• Insulation for cooling systems and pumps
• Acoustic insulation for compressors, turbines and high pressure piping systems
• Passive fire protection solutions for burner and fuel storage areas
• Heat tracing for water and fire water lines

Insulation applications

Be it a natural gas, coal, nuclear, renewable or waste-to-energy systems, IC provides a matching solution for the specific insulation needs. The insulation solutions are not only applied to boilers, furnaces or turbines, often with large dimensions, but also to belonging pumping stations and pipelines transporting e.g. steam and fuels. In many situations flexible mattresses (jackets) are used to provide the desired insulation of individual components like valves and manifolds. Larger components or conduits are often fitted with a permanent or semi-permanent hard shell insulation.

Also for medium sized power plants and fuel transport systems

Next to providing insulation services for large installations IC also provides solutions for medium sized energy and power systems like power units for hospitals and communication centres. Also IC has provided and installed insulation solutions for gas transport locations in the Netherlands.
