Thermotite ULTRA

Superior Subsea Insulation

Thermotite® ULTRA is a styrenic alloy-based subsea insulation system designed for flow assurance.

System Description:

• Layer 1,2,3: 3-layer anti-corrosion system - Fusion Bonded Epoxy, ULTRABond and ULTRA Solid
• Layer 4: Thermal insulation- ULTRA foam/solid
• Layer 5: Mechanical and UV protective layer- ULTRAShield

Superior Insulation Properties and Unmatched Mechanical Performance

• Lower thermal conductivity of both solid and foamed systems result in lower achievable U values
• Extended cool-down time
• No glass microspheres:
• • Zero risk of compromised thermal performance due to glass breakage or degradation during service
  • Superior insulation performance without glass enables unlimited depth installation
• Incompressibility of solid system allows unlimited water depth installation
• Higher insulation density coupled with reduced thickness improves seabed stability of flowlines and assists in optimizing hydrodynamic response of risers
• Thinner insulation and reduced pipe profile results in lower lay strains and improved hydrodynamic response

Installation

• Can be installed using all subsea laying methods including reeling, S-lay and J-lay
• Superior low temperature ductility enables lower temperature reeling and increased flexibility in installation schedule
• Lower thermal conductivity translates to reduced insulation
• Thickness and potential savings in transportation and installation costs

FJ Compatibility

• Thermotite® ULTRA
• Nemo 1.1
• Nemo 2.1

Value Added Services
