Application area
Production of Viscous Oil
Applied in the steam pipelines of viscous oil production, aerogel blanket can efficiently reduce the heat loss of the pipelines and better control the temperature drop.

Challenges
> Steam is mostly produced through burning coal and natural gas with a high cost. When the pipelines run through a long distance, the severe heat loss causes massive energy waste.
> Most oil fields are located in terrible environment with low temperature, which further increases heat loss.
> Traditional materials incur high logistics costs and have a short service life.
> Due to their poor thermal performance, traditional materials require excessive insulation thickness, leading to thermal leakage through the gaps. -
Benefits of aerogel insulation materials
> It reduces insulation thickness and heat loss, achieving an energy saving rate of up to 30% compared to traditional materials.
> Through lapping and staggering, thermal leakage through gaps is prevented while insulation requirements are reduced.
> Reduces logistics costs, enhances installation convenience.
> With an expected service life of 20 years, investing in aerogel insulation material is advantageous for long-term maintenance.
