Vikotherm®
Insulation and Coating
Subsea thermal insulation and coating is necessary to avoid the formation of hydrate plugs and wax build-up in subsea structures. The build-up begins when the oil/gas composition temperature is not maintained and begins to cool. Without thermal insulation the cold seawater rapidly cools down the oil, forming hydrate/wax blockages, making it impossible for a safe flow. Thermal insulation materials prevent formation of these blockages during a shutdown scenario or during normal operations.
