High-Temperature Insulation Project for Heaters at a Petrochemical Plant in the Middle East


Project Name
: Heater and High-Temperature Pipeline Insulation Project at a Large Petrochemical Plant in the UAE

Location: Abu Dhabi
Construction Year: 2023
Products Used: SUNTHERM ceramic fibre blankets (Type 1260, Type 1430)
Quantity Used: Approximately 42 tonnes
Application Areas: Heater linings, combustion chamber insulation layers, high-temperature pipelines

Project Background
The petrochemical plant is a key energy enterprise in the Middle East, with furnaces operating long-term at over 1200°C. The client required:
1. Insulation materials to meet API (American Petroleum Institute) standards;
2. Reduced energy consumption and carbon emissions;
3. Shortened construction period to minimize shutdown losses.

✨ SUNTHERM Solution
SUNTHERM provided a modular block-laying scheme combined with ceramic fibre board reinforcement to prevent insulation layer detachment under high-temperature shock and furnace pressure fluctuations. A combination of Type 1260 and Type 1430 products balanced cost and temperature resistance.

▶ Engineering Details
1. Construction method: Modular quick installation for easy maintenance, reducing shutdown time by 20%.
2. Operational performance: Heating speed increased by 15%; fuel consumption reduced by 12%.
3. Environmental benefits: Annual carbon emissions reduced by approximately 1500 tonnes.

✅ Application Effects
1. Furnace surface temperature dropped from 120°C to 55°C, significantly improving the working environment.
2. Enhanced production efficiency and stable operation.
3. The lightweight material reduced overall furnace load, extending equipment service life.









★ Project Summary
This project demonstrated SUNTHERM ceramic fibre blankets’ advantages in energy efficiency, environmental protection, and safety for the petrochemical industry. The client was highly satisfied, subsequently adding tank area insulation projects, further strengthening SUNTHERM’s brand influence in the Middle East market.
