Optimised heat flows and maximum efficiency

Throughout Europe, conventional power stations fired by coal, oil, or gas, still produce around 50 % of our electricity needs. Nuclear power provides another 27 %. Our dependency on conventional power generation demands that we make these power plants as thermally efficient as possible so that the cost of our energy is as low as possible.

Promat can help to provide low cost energy
By minimising unnecessary wastage through heat losses, the use of Promat´s insulation solutions throughout a power station will give optimised heat flows and help to ensure maximum efficiency in the power generation. Power stations are complex installations. The complexity of the equipment and the large number of long and close run interconnecting pipe systems mean that a major design problem is acute lack of space.

Promat solutions – optimal performance within space constraints
A Promat solution utilises the best performing insulation products on the market, which in turn means that our insulation systems are the lightest and most compact currently available.

The challenges

• Thermal management – energy loss control – design optimisation
• Best possible control of heat loss
• Most compact insulation systems to combat acute space challenges
• Design for continuous high temperature operation without deterioration of any system components. Long working life essential for insulation without aging deterioration or other impairment of performance
• Easy assembly of insulation components and easy demountability during routine maintenance. Availability of pre-tailored items for fast installations of complicated pipe runs
• Non combustibility for fire safety near turbines and other equipment

• Resistance to vibration damage
• Fast ROI (Return of investment) for insulation – cost effective system design

Promat can help solve all these design challenges. By choosing from the broadest product portfolio on the market based on the "best in class" insulation products with the lowest thermal conductivity, we can design an "engineered solution" that best meets all design challenges.

With access to the very best calcium silicate, microporous, refractory and fibre insulation products, a Promat system cannot be beat on performance. .
