THERMAL AND ACOUSTIC HYDROPHOBIC INSULATION BLANKETS

Shannon Global Energy Solutions’ hydrophobic thermal and acoustic insulation blankets reduce energy loss and/or mitigate harmful noise levels from equipment like valves, pumps, heat exchangers, vessels and compressors with geometrically complex surfaces at refineries and processing plants.

Shannon’s designs – which contain Lewco Super Mat®, a PTFE-impregnated Type-E needled and felted fiberglass blanket insulation – do not require workers to wear a mask while manufacturing or installing the material. Super Mat also helps mitigate CUI due to its water-repelling properties.

The Shannon Hydrophobic Thermal Blanket designs LT450TT-HES and LT450TT-HS, and Shannon Hydrophobic Acoustic Blanket designs LT450A-TT-HES and LT450A-TT-HS, have an insulating core made of hydrophobic Super Mat that consists solely of PTFE and E-glass fiber, so there is no amorphous silica particulate or additive that can escape as dust, posing a health risk. Shannon hydrophobic acoustic blankets reduce harmful noise levels by up to 15 dBA. Depending on thickness, Shannon calculates the surface temperature of its thermal blanket when wrapped around a component operating at 450 F (232 C) will range from 108 F (42 C) to 135 F (57 C).
