Vertical Standing Seam Panel Insulation for Tank insulation system, comprised of prefabricated standing seam insulation panels and accessories, dramatically improves the durability, life expectancy and appearance of a tank insulation system. Storage tanks of higher diameter that require insulation for temperature conservation or condensate prevention are ideal for a Standing Seam Panel system. An aluminum outer jacket is bonded to foil-faced polyisocyanurate insulation to form a laminated Seam panel (other metal jacket/insulation combinations are available). These panels extend vertically the full height of a tank sidewall and are also utilized on a tank roof. Protrusions from the insulation, such as manways, nozzles and stair brackets, are tightly fitted and sealed. Where ground water or product wicking is a problem, Foamglass insulation can be installed at the base of the tank.
The main advantages of Standing Seam Panel over convention insulation for Tanks include - Scaffolding is eliminated saving money & time, faster application of Panels, able to withstand high wind loads, no need for rivets & screws eliminating water penetration locates etc.
