Fireproof thermal insulation for tanks: protection and safety for modern industry
In the industrial sector, tanks fireproof thermal insualtion is an essential requirement to guarantee safety, energy efficiency and long-term durability. Storage tanks often contain flammable substances or products that are highly sensitive to temperature changes.
For this reason, it is crucial to use high-performance insulating materials such as AES TECH by Savenergy.it, specifically developed for demanding industrial applications.
AES TECH: the nanoceramic insulation for critical environments
AES TECH is a semi-liquid, water-based nanocomposite insulation, completely solvent-free. It uses ultra-high solar reflectance and a structure based on ceramic microspheres to block heat transfer.
Thanks to its Euroclass A (non-combustible) certification, AES TECH is ideal for fireproof thermal insulation of tanks, even in high-risk environments such as petrochemical, chemical and food industries.
Key features of AES TECH:
- Ultra-low thermal conductivity: λ = 0.0010 W/mK
- Direct application on metal using Airless spray equipment
- Very thin thickness (1–4 mm) equivalent to several centimetres of traditional insulation
- Non-toxic and environmentally friendly, with almost zero VOC content
- Resistant to humidity, mould, algae and thermal shocks
This combination of performance makes AES TECH a cutting-edge choice for tanks fireproof thermal insualtion in critical environments.
Applications and benefits of fireproof thermal insulation for industrial tanks
Using AES TECH for the fireproof thermal insulation of industrial tanks allows you to:
- Prevent corrosion under insulation (CUI)
- Reduce thermal losses and improve energy efficiency
- Protect the structural integrity of the tank
- Extend the service life of equipment with minimal maintenance
- Facilitate inspections thanks to its thin, stable coating
In addition, the quick application and the ability to adapt to any shape or surface make AES TECH perfect both for new tanks and existing installations.
Types of tanks that require fireproof insulation
The use of fireproof thermal insulation is particularly recommended for the following categories of industrial tanks:
- Fuel and mineral oil tanks
Widely used in refineries and logistics facilities, they store highly flammable substances. Fireproof insulation reduces the risk of accidental ignition and limits heat build-up. - Chemical tanks
Used to store reactive or hazardous compounds, often subject to temperature variations that can make them unstable. Proper insulation helps maintain safe operating conditions. - Food-grade tanks
Even if they are less exposed to fire risk, they still require fireproof, non-toxic materials that comply with hygiene and sanitary regulations. - Liquefied gas tanks (LNG/LPG)
Subject to extreme pressures and temperatures, they must be insulated with materials that are both thermally resistant and fireproof to ensure maximum safety. - Heat storage tanks or hot water tanks
Designed to contain liquids at high temperatures, they need fireproof thermal insulation to limit heat dispersion and keep the temperature stable. - Tanks exposed to solar radiation
Outdoor tanks can reach dangerous surface temperatures if not properly protected. A reflective, fireproof coating such as AES TECH helps limit overheating.
By applying AES TECH, industries can significantly increase safety levels, enhance insulation performance and comply with regulations, even in the most sensitive industrial environments. This makes AES TECH a strategic solution for tanks fireproof thermal insualtion in modern plants.
Conclusion
Investing in a fireproof thermal insulation system for tanks with AES TECH means:
-
Increasing operational safety
-
Improving energy efficiency
-
Extending the lifespan of installations
-
Complying with environmental and safety regulations
A concrete step towards a safer, more efficient and more sustainable industry.
