PFP Jackets:
Advanced Insulation designs, manufactures and installs ContraFlex® Passive Fire Protection (PFP) jackets to protect assets, maintain structural integrity and safeguard personnel working in challenging environments.
Thermal Insulation:
Advanced Insulation have a dedicated team of surveyors qualified to measure dimensional and heat loss information from valves, flanges and other plant room equipment.
This information can be fed back to a unique heat loss survey program in order to calculate the expected savings in both CO2 and energy costs.
High Temperature Insulation:
ContraFlex® High Temperature Insulation jackets are utilised where application operating temperatures are anywhere up to 1,100°C.
Hot surfaces dissipate heat quickly, so it is important to maintain equipment temperatures, as well as protect personnel from potentially harmful burns.
Acoustic Insulation:
ContraFlex® Acoustic insulation jackets are available where sound reduction is required to improve site working conditions, by reducing noise and vibration across structures.
Trace Heating:
ContraFlex® Trace Heating jackets provide a solution for flow assurance, to prevent the formation of waxes or crystallisation.
ContraFlex® Trace Heating jackets are fitted with a trace-heated cable and a thermostat or regulator for quick and easy removal and re-installation.
Leak Detection:
ContraFlex® Leak Detection jackets come in four main configurations depending on the reagent type.
ContraFlex® Leak detection jackets provide personnel protection in the form of a spray shield, whilst providing an indication of the type of fluid within the contained leak.
Leak detection jackets can be provided with thermal insulation where necessary.
