Benefits
USING CUSTOM REMOVABLE COVERS
Soft type removable reusable insulation covers are beneficial to any business interested in utilizing cost savings associated with removable insulation covers. The following industries have recognized and implemented use of removable reusable insulation covers, throughout the past several decades. This is a benefit that will continue to grow as our natural resources decline:
-
Refineries
- Petro Chemical Plants
- Chemical Plants
- Power Plants - Conventional/Nuclear
- Process Plants
- Industrial Plants
- Commercial Buildings
- Marine & Air Transportation
Equipment that must maintain a specific temperature range to operate effectively can benefit from Industrial Covers made to order products. Example: a valve that is left uncovered can produce an energy loss amounting to hundreds and thousand of dollars yearly. A valve, covered with a custom fit removable insulation cover, will recoup approximately 95% of the heat formerly lost. This in turn saves your company those previously lost dollars. With increased costs for energy, it seems the logical solution is to protect your investments and increase your energy savings.
Energy providers periodically discuss with their customers on monitoring their own energy. This truly shows customers the amount of energy that is wasted per household. Industrial Covers would like to increase that awareness to Corporation and Business as well. In effect the removable insulation cover is your way to save money, conserve energy, and to help the natural resources of the larger community surrounding your facilities.

HIGHER PROFIT MARGINS and IMPROVED OPERATING COSTS
Back to Top
This will result when you utilize removable reusable insulation
covers in your business. Lowering your energy costs and reducing
your labour expen ses
will generate cost savings. Replacing or re-insulating materials
will no longer be necessary, for minor repairs. Your equipment can
continue to operate while the cover is removed for maintenance and
repairs to the equipment.

EASE OF IDENTIFICATION
Back to Top
 This is achieved by Industrial Covers bright blue tag that we label according to your equipment. During a turnaround there may be several covers removed. The identification tags become a vital tool as they ensure the removable insulation covers are reinstalled on the proper equipment.
Our tags are customized to each specific cover allowing the customer to see the:
| |
EQUIPMENT Name |
| |
LOCATION of Equipment |
| |
IDENTIFICATION No/ SERIAL No. |
| |
DATE: Month/Year manufactured |
Itemized # to ensure Industrial Covers can replaced the exact same cover with
the exact same dimensions. Files are kept for each specific cover to
assist the client in need of a duplicate cover. A replacement can be
easily manufactured.
**Tags are also available in standard 18 ga. Stainless Steel. |
PROTECTION AGAINST THERMAL BURNS
Back to Top
This can save your company lost time injuries and more importantly prom ote a safe work place for your workers. Some of the working spaces are very tight and workers easily lean up against, touch or must maneuver around extreme temperatures within the unit to complete their tasks. Removable insulation covers provide the necessary protection your workers need to complete their tasks to the best of their ability without rushing or missing steps in order to prevent injury.

FREEZE PROTECTION
Back to Top
 Cold winter months are a Canadian reality! Your equipment will be insulated and protected with our removable reusable insulation covers with fabrics that will withstand temperatures as low as -60°F (-51°C). Of course you don't have to wait until winter to require freeze protection. If you require your refrigeration/condensate equipment to maintain these cooler temperatures we will custom fit your equipment with covers to meet those specifications. |
REDUCED ENERGY CONSUMPTION
Back to Top
We outlined in our overview examples that show how effective removable reusable industrial covers are in reducing energy consumption. Studies have been conducted since the early 1970's by many of the major Corporations to counteract the dramatic price changes caused by the oil embargos of that time. Currently with independent researchers we can continue to benefit from these discoveries as we continue to experience rising energy costs.

ELIMINATE RE WORK
Back to Top
Removable reusable insulation covers eliminates the once hard insulation. On removing the hard insulation it was necessary to purchase new materials, pay labour rates to
 reinstall the new material, and wait for the availability of both. Often a larger area than necessary must be replaced when hard insulation is removed, adding additional expense. A custom fit removable reusable insulation cover is back in place at no additional cost while serving as a compliment to traditional hard insulation.
|
TIME SAVINGS = FASTER TURNAROUND
Back to Top
Removable reusable insulation covers can be removed and reinstalled within minutes, without additional costs for material, labour or tools.
|
NOISE REDUCTION
Back to Top
This occurs with all removable insulation covers because it acts as a barrier between the source and the outer surroundings, in your shop or out in the field.
|
GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION
Back to Top
Greenhouse gases absorb infrared light/radiation and trap this energy into
 the atmosphere. When an excessive amount of heat is trapped global warming occurs. While not all molecules are able to absorb radiation, examples of molecules that are able follows: water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), perfluorocarbons (PFCs)
Therefore, removable insulation covers create a
positive barrier by keeping the gases that are most
prevalent contained in the piping and valves that
carry these products and minimizing the amounts
released to the atmosphere
