Introduction

The petrochemical industry is a major energy consumer, and pipeline insulation is an important energy-saving link. Although traditional insulation materials and methods can reduce heat loss to a certain extent, with the advancement of technology, the application of new materials and catalysts has provided more possibilities for energy saving. As a new catalyst, the low viscosity odorless amine catalyst Z-130 has shown significant energy-saving effects in the insulation of petrochemical pipelines. This article will introduce in detail the product parameters, application principles, energy-saving effects of Z-130 and its specific application in petrochemical pipeline insulation.

1. Overview of low viscosity odorless amine catalyst Z-130

1.1 Product Introduction

Low viscosity odorless amine catalyst Z-130 is a highly efficient and environmentally friendly catalyst, mainly used in the foaming process of polyurethane foam materials. Its low viscosity and odorless properties make it unique advantages in petrochemical pipeline insulation.

1.2 Product parameters

1.3 Product Features

• Low Viscosity: Easy to mix and spray, and improve construction efficiency.
• odorless: Improve the working environment and reduce the health impact on the operators.
• High-efficiency Catalysis: significantly shortens foaming time and improves production efficiency.
• Environmental: It does not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), meets environmental protection requirements.

2. The importance of thermal insulation of petrochemical pipelines

2.1 Necessity of pipeline insulation

The medium conveyed by petrochemical pipelines usually has high temperature and high pressure characteristics. Pipeline insulation can effectively reduce heat loss, reduce energy consumption, and improve production efficiency. In addition, insulation can prevent condensation on the surface of the pipe, reduce the risk of corrosion, and extend the service life of the pipe.

2.2 Limitations of traditional insulation materials

Although traditional insulation materials such as glass wool, rock wool, etc. have certain insulation effects, they have the following problems:

• High thermal conductivity: Limited thermal insulation effect.
• Complex construction: requires multiple layers of wrapping, and the construction period is long.
• Poor environmental protection: Some materials contain harmful substances and are not environmentally friendly.

2.3 Advantages of new insulation materials

New insulation materials such as polyurethane foam have the advantages of low thermal conductivity, simple construction, and environmental protection. The application of low viscosity odorless amine catalyst Z-130 further improves the performance of polyurethane foam and makes it more competitive in petrochemical pipeline insulation.

III. Application principle of low viscosity odorless amine catalyst Z-130 in pipeline insulation

3.1 The formation process of polyurethane foam

The formation of polyurethane foam mainly goes through the following steps:

1. Mix: Mix the raw materials such as polyols, isocyanates, catalysts, foaming agents, etc. in proportion.
2. Foaming: The catalyst promotes reaction, generates carbon dioxide gas, and forms a foam structure.
3. Currect: The foam structure gradually cures to form a stable insulation layer.

3.2 Catalytic action of Z-130

Z-130, as a catalyst, can significantly accelerate the reaction between polyol and isocyanate, shorten the foaming time, and improve the uniformity and stability of the foam. Its low viscosity characteristics make the mixing more uniform, while its odorless properties improve the construction environment.

3.3 Energy-saving effect analysis

The application of Z-130 further reduces the thermal conductivity of polyurethane foam and significantly improves the thermal insulation effect. At the same time, its efficient catalytic effect reduces energy consumption in the production process and reduces production costs.

4.2 Application Cases

4.2.1 Case 1: Pipeline insulation transformation of a petrochemical company

• Background: The original pipeline insulation material of a petrochemical company is glass wool, which has poor insulation effect and high energy consumption.
• Renovation Plan: Use polyurethane foam insulation material and add Z-130 catalyst.
• Effect: After the transformation, the pipe surface temperature decreases, heat loss decreases, and energy consumption decreases by 15%.

4.2.2 Case 2: A new pipeline built in oil refinery

• Background: A new pipeline construction in a certain refinery requires efficient insulation materials, which require environmental protection and simplified construction.
• Solution: Use polyurethane foam insulation material and add Z-130 catalyst.
• Effect: The construction cycle is shortened by 30%, the insulation effect is significant, and it meets environmental protection requirements.

4.3 Economic Benefit Analysis

It can be seen from the table that although the material cost of Z-130 catalytic polyurethane foam is relatively high, its construction cost is low, energy consumption is low, and its service life is long, and its overall cost is lower than that of traditional insulation materials.
