Most industrial assets operating at elevated temperatures require thermal insulation for energy conservation, thermal protection or process stabilization.
Most industrial assets operating at elevated temperatures require thermal insulation for energy conservation, thermal protection or process stabilization. As soon as the insulation is installed and in service, the risk of the underlying substrate of suffering from corrosion under insulation (CUI) increases. It should be noted that CUI represents a severe threat to the onstream reliability of many of today’s refining, chemical, power generation, and pulp and paper industries, including onshore and offshore installations. The mechanism of CUI is initiated by the ingress of water into the thermal insulation, which traps the solution at the annular space between the metal substrate and the insul
