Durable & Efficient Thermal Insulation Solutions for Underground Storage Vessels & Sphere Tank

Insulation for sphere tanks and vessels in industrial settings is critical for maintaining temperature control, safety, and optimizing energy use. Vessels are used across industries from chemicals to pharmaceuticals and are designed in a variety of shapes and configurations to accommodate diverse temperatures and pressures. Spherical storage tanks, used primarily for high-pressure gases like LPG or ammonia, with their shape allowing pressure to be distributed uniformly across the vessel. These mechanical insulation solutions for vessels and spheres support thermal performance across complex equipment geometries and a range of operating temperatures. Owens Corning’s cellular glass insulation products offer exceptional thermal stability, resistance to moisture and corrosion, and maintain structural integrity, making them an excellent choice for insulating spheres and vessels.

More About Owens Corning Vessels and Spheres Insulation Products

Above-ground Vessels

Above-ground vessels, often subjected to harsh environmental conditions, require robust industrial thermal insulation solutions that provide temperature stability and help provide resistance to moisture and corrosion. Owens Corning's cellular glass insulation is closed-cell, impermeable, and non-absorbent, helping limit moisture ingress as part of a strategy to mitigate corrosion under insulation (CUI).

Underground Vessels

Underground vessels encounter unique challenges, including soil loads and moisture exposure, that can affect the long-term performance of the insulation system. Owens Corning's high-density insulation products offer high compressive strength and moisture resistance suited to demanding underground conditions. These products serve as crucial mechanical protection and a moisture barrier for long-term insulation efficiency and structural integrity.

Spheres

Spherical storage tanks, used for pressurized products or low-temperature liquids, require insulation that can accommodate their curved geometry while supporting consistent temperature control. Owens Corning’s prefabricated insulation solutions excel in insulating spheres, minimizing thermal bridging, and assisting with consistent thermal protection throughout the vessel. These cellular glass insulation products are available in tailored formats including spherical segments that can fit sphere tanks, helping provide insulating coverage across complex curved surfaces.
