Columns

Columns are pillar-shaped vessels, which are mainly used in the (petro) chemical industry for distillation or the extraction of substances. They often form the key elements in chemical or petrochemical plants. The processes in columns often only operate at certain temperatures.

Purpose of insulation

The insulation on vessels and columns plays an important role in their functionality. It also has the following purposes:

Reduces heat losses
Guarantees protection against contact by minimising the surface temperature
Reduces the cooling of the stored substance, so it remains fluid and does not set
Ensures the column remains at the necessary process temperatures
Prevents heating of the stored substance (for example, through solar radiation)
