As with offshore and marine, corrosion under insulation can be a major problem in petrochemical plants as a source of added maintenance costs, down-time and as a major safety
hazard. This problem can made worse by the difficulty in identifying when and where the corrosion is taking place as it is often hidden under insulation and cladding.

Modern methods in pipe coating and more highly evolved equipment can help to reduce this headache but, based on many years of experience in the field, at Kitsons we can also be of assistance by suggesting preventative insulation and cladding solutions that can help to minimise this expensive threat. Insulation requirements on petrochemical plants are very diverse, from large specialised storage tanks, to jettylines, fractionation columns, pressure vessels, cat crackers and even storage spheres, with applications across a wide temperature range.
