UL 723

The Challenge

We were invited inside the steam-generation plant of this new building to address issues associated with extremely high temperatures emanating from the many valves, flanges and heat exchangers housed within the room.

With the city inspection looming on the horizon, our mission was to assess the situation and quickly provide a solution for reducing the ambient temperature inside the room and eliminating the risk of personnel injury from contact with the exposed equipment.

The Solution

Our production team spent time on-site to document the configuration and take accurate measurements of the equipment inside the room. Back at our manufacturing facility, we custom engineered high temperature insulation in removable thermal blankets to fit the exact shape of each element of the piping system.

Based on the specifications and thermal requirements, we manufactured the blankets from a detailed layering of high-temperature materials that would withstand the environmental conditions inside a steam plant.

The Outcome

Featuring a precise fit on each individual piece of equipment, the removable blankets comply with UL 723 safety standards. We designed, manufactured and installed the insulation blankets within seven days. The ambient temperature inside the room dropped to acceptable levels and the chance of contact burns from hot surfaces fell to zero.
