2.0 DESIGN CRITERIA

2.1 General Design Basis

Designs shall be based on operating conditions specific to the relevant equipment package and
process parameters related to piping and equipment which are detailed by CONTRACTOR on
approved P&ID’s, isometrics and equipment data sheets specific to the Project.

The liquefaction and storage of cryogenic media such as LNG (-196°C) requires high-
performance insulation systems. Parameters such as thermal stresses, vibrations and required
safety provisions have to be considered when engineering and installing cold insulation systems
for these applications.

Cold or cryogenic service temperatures can cause dimensional channel changes leading to
warping of the insulation on the pipe, leaving gaps. In concert with high humidity, this can promote
moisture entry that will promote ice buildup.

The key point to remember in LNG and other cryogenic applications is to start with an insulation
product of low permeability. As stated above, additional considerations include dimensional
stability, compressive strength, and combustibility of the insulation material. Compatibility of
accessory products is also important for long-term system performance.

It stands to reason that with these plants existing in humid climates, the need for moisture vapour
transmission (MVT) resistance is paramount. MVT can be excessive in these design conditions.
The pipe or vessel may be at a continuous operating temperature of nearly -270°F (-168°C), and
the ambient conditions are at 90°F (32°C) or more with humidity of 90 percent. In these conditions,
the opportunity for moisture to be driven into the insulation is at its highest possible level.

The associated piping on the LNG plant should be insulated with a closed cell foam insulation.
Polyisocyanurate insulation and cellular glass insulation are the predominant insulation types used
in low temperature applications. Low permeability is a key insulation property for this and all below-
ambient services. The use of ‘0’ perm closed cell insulation with joints sealed creates an
impermeable insulation system. The insulation system itself becomes the primary vapor retarder.

Pipe insulation for LNG systems can be applied in multiple layers. Typically, inner layers of
insulation are applied “dry” (without joint sealant); the outermost layer is applied with all joints
sealed. All joints in successive layers are staggered from those of the first layer. A secondary
vapor retarder is installed over the insulation, and metal jacketing is usually applied over all to
complete the system.

With the above factors and considerations in mind, we shall carefully harness the right material
specs with proven fabrication and installation procedure such that the LNG insulation system
performance would be in sufficiency to meet client project requirements.

efficient and modern workmanlike appearance.

Insulation shall not be installed on unpainted surfaces unless expressly approved in signing by
CONTRACTOR. Carbon steel, low alloy and 300 series or austenitic stainless steel piping
and equipment require protective coating as specified strictly in the Project painting specification
NG-TTE-CC-SPC-00001, Painting Requirement for Piping, Equipment and Structures; before
insulation. Where coatings are applied any coating repairs or touch-up painting required shall be
performed strictly in accordance with this painting specification prior to the commencement of
insulation application.

All hydrostatic or pneumatic tests on piping and equipment, including steam tracing system where
applicable, should have been carried out before insulating material is applied. Insulation shall only
commence in those sections of the plant that have been specifically released for such work.
Insulation application may proceed prior to hydrostatic testing, in which case, insulation
shall terminate a suitable distance before and after welded and flange joints, and sealed against
water ingress and also protected from mechanical damage which may be caused by other trades
and during subsequent testing.

No insulation works will commence without the CONTRACTOR issuing release for insulation. No
work shall be carried out during rain except under shelter or in a controlled atmosphere.
Definitely before application of insulation, all surfaces must be cleaned to remove loose scale and
debris or even grease and foreign matter. Appropriate cleaning shall be accomplished by water
washing or solvent cleaning as in SSPC SP1 guidelines.

Discontinued insulation work shall be properly covered to avoid damage and ingress of water to
the insulation. Insulation ought to be kept clean and dry. All insulation materials shall be protected
from rain and moisture.

4.2 Piping and Fittings Insulation for Cold Service
Preformed concentric PIR or PUF sections are to be used in the insulation of cold service
substrate. Joints of concentric insulation sections be closely fitted together to avoid thermal
bridging. Insulation edges shall be rubbed together or trimmed to as much as possible to produce

each of the mating surfaces no matter the number of layers.
