o Necessary space is available on site for storage of materials and for on-site fabrication works.
7. Procedure:
a. Check the surface for cleanliness prior to the application of insulation. Wipe clean any loose dust on
the bare surface before insulation. Surface preparation shall be as per when CUI is considered in design
b. Take Rockwool slabs and beveled to fit over the equipment surface. Secure the insulation on shell
using SS bands at 300mm centers and fix with wing-seals. Longitudinal insulation joints shall be in
staggered arrangement.
c. Insulation for Acid Gas Trim Condenser (91-501-E13) and Degassing Air Preheater (91401-E-25)
shall have thickness of 80mm and all other equipment’s shall be installed with 2 layers of 70mm thick
insulation with joints staggered as far as possible. At bolted support angle, cladding shall be
notched and sealant shall be applied.
d. For Degassing Air Preheater (91401-E-25), all three tubes shall be insulated together from
Replace by table as above
outside using Rockwool insulation slab, without filling gap between the tubes.
e. After taking necessary measurements over the insulated equipment, shear and roll-form the plain
cladding sheets into desired shapes and sizes. Fabricate a groove joint on the circumferential edges of
each sheet metal section.
f. Install the fabricated sheets on to the equipment with a longitudinal overlap of 50mm, facing
downwards to shed water. Secure using SS bands at 450mm centers, and, SS self-tapping screws at
150mm centers on longitudinal seams and on heads.
g. For equipment having OD> 900mm, Install Rockwool slab over the equipment heads by cutting into
segments and fitted tightly using SS bands. Bands on heads shall be installed using wing-seals
stretched radially from a centrally located floating ring by SERCK to the closest circumferential
banding in shell.
h. For equipment with OD > 900mm, Head insulation shall be clad with segmented sheets. Minimum
overlap of 50mm shall be provided on cladding at head shell junction.
All insulation shall be designed so that water ingress and capillary action is

screws.
j. All exposed cladding seams shall be sealed using normal silicone sealants.
k. Equipment manways, channel-end flanges, shell-cover flanges, saddle supports, steam traps,
expansion joints and nameplates shall not be insulated. All protrusions, openings, nozzles shall be
fitted with close fitting collar plates.
l. Removable type insulation is not considered anywhere.
8. Quality Control:
During the course of work, the Engineer/Supervisor shall conduct regular visual inspections. The points to be
inspected shall include the following:
o Conditions of the surface to which the insulation is applied.
o Thickness and quality of insulation and cladding materials.
o Quality of insulation application and joints.
o Quality of cladding joints and their sealing.
o Final appearance and weather proofing arrangement of finished work.
