Delivering a Complex Steam Turbine Insulation Project Within a Critical Shutdown Window Steam turbine insulation projects are among the most demanding applications in industrial insulation. High operating temperatures, complex equipment geometry, restricted access, multiple contractors working simultaneously, and tight shutdown schedules leave little room for error. TAS Blanket Insulation recently completed a turnkey insulation project […]
When evaluating removable blanket insulation, most people focus on insulation thickness, temperature ratings, or fabric quality. However, one critical factor is often overlooked: fit. At first glance, an oversized, box-type insulation cover with large air gaps may seem harmless. In fact, some may even assume that additional air space improves insulation performance. While air can […]
A Practical Guide for Insulating Steam Systems Steam traps play a critical role in every steam system, yet when it comes to insulation, they are often misunderstood and it creates a lot of confusion. While most components in a steam system benefit greatly from insulation, steam traps need a more careful, type-specific approach. What […]
Project Highlight: Economizer Insulation with Removable Reusable Blanket Insulation. Economizers recover energy from waste heat, but without proper insulation, part of that energy can still be lost. By applying removable-reusable blanket insulation, these surface losses can be reduced, helping to retain the recovered energy and improve overall system performance. Typical system includes: A vertical heat […]
Excessive noise from pressure reducing valves (PRVs) and control valves is a common challenge in industrial facilities. In many cases, this noise is accepted as normal operation — yet excessive sound levels can negatively affect working conditions, communication, and overall comfort around critical equipment. Because these valves regulate pressure and flow, noise generation is often […]

Decarbonization in industry increasingly depends on steam system energy efficiency, as rising energy costs and regulatory pressure reshape how energy is used worldwide. While much of the discussion focuses on new technologies and major capital investments, one of the most…
In chemical processing facilities, insulation must provide more than basic heat loss reduction. Chemical processing insulation plays a critical role not only in improving thermal efficiency, but also in protecting personnel, equipment, and surrounding infrastructure when hazardous or aggressive process…
Outdoor steam valves, flanges, and other steam fittings on industrial systems can lose significant amounts of heat throughout the year. Under typical conditions, insulating these components can pay for itself within 4–8 months. However, when winter arrives and ambient temperatures…
Today, several solutions are available to achieve more efficient insulation of industrial steam systems. Alongside traditional, rigid insulation methods, removable and reusable insulation blankets are gaining increasing importance. Their major advantage over traditional rigid insulation solutions is that while rigid…
The TAS Blanket Insulation brand has reached another important milestone: our company has obtained the ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications. This not only confirms the high standard of our operations, but also proves that the TAS industrial…
