Abstract: In most cases, replacement of damaged, lost, or missing insulation in older (LNG, SNG, LPG-Air, or similar) facilities meant resurrecting original design specifications and then, assuming a proposed budget was approved, forwarding these specifications to a qualified insulation contractor for eventual installation. This paper presents a perspective on insulating systems that should be considered by engineering, safety, operating, or maintenance personnel responsible for facility updating, maintenance, safety, and material selection. Emphasis is given to insulating systems, particularly, composites of insulating systems. These composites, when sandwiched together in an appropriate manner, result in an insulating system superior to any one of its individual constituents. For reasons noted in this paper, the treatment of materials found within these insulating systems will be limited to inorganic and organic cellular foam type glass and fiberglass insulations. The introduction explains the restrictions and associated disclaimers involved in these discussions.
