Insulation for Silos and Storage Tanks
Helping a range of industries increase tank energy efficiency and strength with spray foam. Becoming increasingly popular for its ability to waterproof, seal, and conform to tanks of all sizes.
Uninsulated tanks
Maintaining your tank at an optimal temperate can lead to substantial heating and cooling costs. For tanks that store gasses or perishables, depressurisation and the potential for cracks to appear is an ongoing maintenance process. In addition, condensation build-up is a common issue that may lead to corrosion or even dripping onto hazardous surfaces.
Invest in energy efficiency
Insulating your tank with spray foam insulation is the perfect way to increase your tank’s strength, energy efficiency, and longevity. When added to a surface, it rapidly conforms to any structure, drastically increasing your tank’s durability and support while forming an airtight seal that will plug up all cracks. This can help maintain contents at optimal pressure while blocking access points for pests that might penetrate food storage tanks. Spray foam can be applied at any thickness or volume, meaning you’re in control of the desired level of insulation and quantity. It lasts a lifetime.
The benefits
Energy Savings
It keeps your contents within a tightly controlled thermal environment. This minimises temperature fluctuations, lowering your energy bills by placing less stress on heating & cooling units.
Vapour Barrier
Condensation forming on the surface of your tank may lead to corrosion or hazardous dripping. Spray foam blocks moist warm air from hitting the surface of your tank and potentially forming water droplets.
Air-Tight Seal
The air-tight seal provided by spray foam can help seal leaks and maintain the contents of your tank at optimal pressure (significant for tanks designed to store food or gasses).
Improved Strength
A study by the NAHB confirmed spray foam improved the racking strength of walls by up to 300%. When added to your tank, it can reinforce its structure and protect it from the elements.
Longevity
Once added to your tank, spray foam will keep your contents at an optimal temperature for a lifetime. It offers an excellent return on your investment relative to other insulators.
Conforming Ability
Unlike other insulators, spray foam will conform to any surface. Its adaptability and versatility make it ideal for wrapping around pipes of all shapes and sizes or seeping into cracks.
