FIXED-POINTS FOR INDUSTRIAL COMPLEXES PROCESSING LNG AND AMMONIA
Antwerp/Tornio
FIRESAFE® T30 - T60 und T90
In 2017 more than 100 pre-insulated fixed-points made by Jabitherm Rohrsysteme AG were delivered for a LNG-project and an ammonia plant in Antwerp. These especially designed fixed-points for cryogen use completed the previous installations of pre-insulated pipes by Jabitherm Rohrsysteme AG and mirror the same design concept: Medium pipe – PU foam insulation – outer protective jacket The engineering design of these fixed-points in conjunction with a significantly increased polyurethane foam density provides extreme force balance. An important safety aspect for pipe installation!
LNG Terminal Tornio
The scope of application covers at site transferring lines for potable and industrial water and with main focus on carriage of LNG between disembarking from LNG tanker to LNG storing tanks at LNG Terminals in Tornio. The pipes transfer the liquid natural gas at operating tempe- rature of around -163°C.
Fixed points
These circumstances put focus on the solution for connecting fixed-points to pre-insulated pipes. Significant for the fixed-point design are plain face ends and circumferencial metal sheath which enables connection to adjacent pipe ends with standard joints. An integrated system self-obviating ice formation.
Increased safety with FIRESAFE®
Installations with FIRESAFE® pre-insulated pipes for hazardous or/and potentially inflammable areas can be completed with fixed-point fulfilling the same process requirements. According to the pipe format the thermal insulation inside is double- or triple-layer. So it realises together with the pipe fire protection up to 90 minutes. (T-Rating: FIRESAFE® T30, FIRESAFE® T60 and FIRESAFE® T90).
Fire protection
The combination of both, cryogen operating condition and fire protection in one, were finally the crucial arguments for use in both projects.
