Cryogel® Z Cryogenic Insulation Solution
As global natural gas demand increases, engineers face the challenge of stable operation of LNG liquefaction and regasification facilities in hot and humid regions.
When insulation performance degrades, excessive condensation and visible ice formation occur, damaging equipment and threatening worker safety due to falling ice.
Additionally, improperly insulated piping increases boil-off gas (BOG) generation rates, negatively impacting facility economics.
Cryogel® Z cryogenic insulation delivers excellent performance even under these harsh conditions.

Cryogel Z aerogel insulation integrates thermal performance, acoustic attenuation, cold splash, and jet fire protection into a single flexible blanket form, simplifying cryogenic insulation systems.
Easy to install and suitable for maintenance and repair work, it has been adopted in more than 50 major LNG liquefaction and regasification projects worldwide, proving its reliability.

Advantages

01Labor Cost Reduction
  • Cryogel Z aerogel blankets are easy to install and can be installed up to 30% faster than rigid insulation materials for large-diameter piping.
  • Additionally, performance differences based on installer skill or technical level are minimal, helping maintain high installation quality and reduce rework even in regions with a shortage of cryogenic insulation specialists.
02Stay on Schedule
  • Prefabricated and modular installation methods are effective in recovering schedule delays. Cryogel Z is highly durable and does not break during transportation between construction sites and LNG terminals.
03Improved Operational Stability
  • Cryogel Z does not require contraction joints, simplifying the installation process, reducing time and costs while eliminating the possibility of insulation failure.
04Simplified Logistics
  • Cryogel Z is supplied in roll form and can cover complex shapes such as large-diameter piping, equipment, elbows, and flanges with a single material.
  • There is no need to store materials separately by pipe size, preventing work stoppages due to material shortages or inventory errors.
05Simplified Maintenance
  • Cryogel Z blankets can be removed and reused, supporting economical management without needing to replace materials during regular inspections or maintenance.
06Reduced Construction Costs
  • Cryogel Z is a thin and lightweight insulation material that can reduce pipe rack density and installation area when building new facilities. This leads to reduced steel quantities and related costs required for structures such as beams, columns, and foundations.
07Improved Worker Safety
  • Cryogel Z is 30-50% thinner than conventional cryogenic insulation materials, making it easier to secure space between pipes.
  • Additionally, its low thermal conductivity and industry-leading corrosion under insulation (CUI) prevention performance prevent ice ball formation, reducing asset damage and slip accident risks.
08Installation During Operation
  • Stopping equipment is time-consuming and costly, and significantly impacts production schedules. In situations with high production demand, processes often need to be maintained even under inefficient conditions.
  • Cryogel Z supports cryogenic insulation improvement work without stopping the process.
