Why Professional Insulation Matters in Singapore’s Petrochemical Industry
Why Professional Insulation Matters in Singapore’s Petrochemical Industry
In Singapore’s high-temperature petrochemical and refining sectors, thermal insulation is not just about energy savings — it is an essential layer of protection for people, assets, and the environment.
At Loonglobal Engineering, we understand the specific insulation needs of local industries. Having served clients like Shell Bukom, ExxonMobil, and major EPCs operating in Jurong Island, we provide fully integrated insulation services for both greenfield and brownfield projects.
1. Thermal Protection in Harsh Environments
Refinery and chemical process facilities in Singapore often run systems at extreme temperatures ranging from 150°C to over 600°C. Without proper insulation:
Heat losses can increase operating costs by 15–20%
Surface temperatures pose a burn risk to workers
Equipment fatigue and corrosion accelerate over time
Our team applies insulation using high-quality materials like rockwool, calcium silicate, ceramic fiber, and aerogel blankets, selected according to service temperature, medium, and outdoor exposure.
2. Material and Specification Expertise
Our engineers work directly with your design specifications to:
Review line lists and insulation schedules
Select optimal insulation and cladding combinations (aluminum, stainless steel, or galvanised)
Propose value-engineering alternatives for long-term savings without compromising safety
We also handle dual-layer systems with vapor barriers and fire-retardant cladding for hydrocarbon zones, cryogenic systems, or off-shore platforms.
3. Fabrication and Prefabrication Capabilities
At our fabrication unit in Eco-Tech @ Sunview, Loonglobal uses industrial-grade pre-fab machines for cutting, wrapping, and boxing insulation materials. This enables:
Faster site installation with consistent sizing
Minimized material wastage
Better QA/QC through workshop-controlled conditions
All fabrication is ISO 9001:2015 certified.
4. Integration with SIP Works
Many projects require insulation to be integrated with scaffolding and painting scopes (SIP). Our multi-skilled crew trained under WSH standards reduces manpower, interfaces, and installation time.
Loonglobal’s SIP team ensures:
Safe access via modular scaffolds
Blasting and priming of pipelines before insulation
Jacketing finish with high corrosion resistance
