    Insolation of horizontal Tank



    Dear Friends

    How should be insolated the saddle of a horinzoltal tank (ammoniac separator) which will work at -35ēC.??

    The tank´s volumen is 10 m3

    The application is even worst because the zone where the tank will be located is a very sismic .

    We want to suggest polyuretane 40 kg/m3

    Thanks for yours comments
    Regards
    Gwapa

    You can use a saddle with a thermal break such as Oak wood or a plastic to rest the vessel on. Several ways to do this.

    Or you can make the legs longer and insulate down the legs.
