– Single contract partner for full HMS:• Financial, contractual and operational advantages

–Guarantee on savings:• Investment costs• Operational costs• Execution schedule


PENTAIR

TRAC‐LOC® OVERVIEW

Trac‐Loc® is a standing seam insulation system that offers tank owners a superior system compared to conventional insulation methods

Ideal for large flat‐bottomed storage tanks used for storage of materials that are sensitive to temperature fluctuations to reduce heat loss or gain

Reduces a customer’s TIC (Total Installed Cost) by compressing schedules and eliminating the use of scaffolding

Reduces a customer’s TOC (Total Operating Cost) by providing a thermally superior and lower maintenance insulation system

• Main Benefits of Trac‐Loc®

– Decreased Project Costs• No Scaffolding

• Fewer welding requirements

• Less indirect field costs

• Fewer required direct field man hours

• Lower maintenance costs

• Total Heat Management System (HMS)

– Works in conjunction with heat tracing to provide a complete Heat Management System (HMS) for temperature sensitive products

6

Product storage tanks are usually found at refineries and terminals, either heated or unheated, and they are used to store a wide array of products

Examples: Crude oil, sulfur, refined products, asphalt, fuel oil, biodiesel tanks


PENTAIR

THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE (TES)


– Aesthetics• Multiple color schemes

• Suitable for urban landscapes

• Can incorporate design themes from adjacent structures

– Superior Design• 100% vapor‐sealed system with integral foil‐vapor barriers

7

Application in which water is chilled during “off‐peak” hours and stored for daily HVAC use.

Examples: Chilled or heated water for use in HVAC systems


PENTAIR

EQUIPMENT/VESSELS


– Decreased Project Costs• No Scaffolding

• Less indirect field costs

• Fewer required direct field man hours

• Lower maintenance costs

– Total Heat Management System (HMS)• Works in conjunction with heat tracing to provide a complete Heat Management System (HMS) for temperature sensitive products

8

Non storage process equipment requiring thermal insulation either for personnel protection or heat conservation

Examples: Digesters, Coke Drums, Heated Process Vessels


PENTAIR

TECHNICAL CONCEPT

The concept is based on vertical insulating panels prefabricated in workshop which are assembled on Site by a seam system.


PENTAIR

TECHNICAL CONCEPT

• A cable is fixed around the tank. Stainless steel clips fixed on this cable are captured within the seam made between two panels.

HOW TRAC‐LOC® IS INSTALLED

Aircraft‐Grade Stainless Steel Cables are buckled

to the tank/vessel

Panels are hoisted into place and clipped to the

cables

Adjacent panels are joined together to create

the final seam

DOME

> 1.5:12 Pitch or dome

CONICAL / FLAT

<1.5:12 Pitch

TRAC‐LOC® TANK ROOFS

Pie shaped gores fit to the tank radius and curved to the dome radius, if required.

Superior design with ultimate moisture prevention.

Allows equivalent expansion / contraction with the tank roof.

Parallel panel design for flat and low cone (≤1.5:12) tank roofs.

Most economical fabrication and installation design.

Provides expansion / contraction latitudinal in the seams and longitudinally with expansion joints, if required.


PENTAIR

TRAC‐LOC® SYSTEM FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Vertical, double locking standing seam insulation panels

Pre‐fabricated one piece construction

Eliminates costly scaffolding

Compresses field construction schedule and man‐hours

Virtually maintenance free

High wind resistance

Thermally efficient

Aesthetically superior

Trac‐Loc® vs. Other Insulation Systems


PENTAIR

TRAC‐LOC® vs. OTHER STANDING SEAM COMPETITORS

• Insulated 1,000 + tanks of all temperatures, designs, etc.

• The most experienced crews in the industry. Multiple supervisors with 15+ years of Trac‐Loc® experience. We have seen it all!

• Comprehensive offering of product enhancements to suit specific customer needs

• 180° mechanically folded seam. Other profiles are structurally and aesthetically inferior

• Roof expansion / contraction joints with preventative moisture barrier

• Superior insulation materials utilized. With 15+ years of experience we know which products work best for the applications

• We insulated the 2009, 2010 and 2011 STI Tanks of the Year

Trac‐Loc® Tank Insulation System vs.

Conventional Tank Insulation System

SAFETY Smaller crew size, fewer installation steps, fewer field hours vs. Larger crew size, more installation steps, more field construction hours

COST No scaffoldingMinimal welding requirement vs. Scaffolding required

Insulation support pins and rings required

PERFORMANCE Fewer and more productive field work hours vs. Requires 2‐3 times more field hours

SCHEDULE Compresses field schedule due to fewer field work hours vs. Requires 2‐3 times more field hours, stressing schedule demands

MAINTENANCE Minor caulking maintenance around penetrations vs. Regular, involving band tightening and replacing weathered insulation,screws, etc.

AESTHETICS Superior vs. Inferior

DESIGN LIFE 25+ Years vs. Equal with regular maintenance

SECUREMENT All internal protected from the elements by the insulation system vs. All external subject to the elements

QUALITY 100% hermetically protected from the elements withminimal rivets vs. Exposed to elements with multiple laps and screws, requires regular

maintenance

BENEFIT ON SAFETY

• Use of a hanging basket instead of scaffolding


PENTAIR

BENEFIT ON CORROSION UNDER INSULATION

• Fully locked double seam system eliminates water penetration resulting in a reduction of under insulation corrosion

• No fibrous insulation materials, minimum degradation, closed cell structure, no water/fluids absorption

• Next to the support ring, no rim or other welding is required on the side walls resulting in a minimization of locations where under insulation corrosion could develop itself


PENTAIR

BENEFIT ON LIFETIMELong lifetime (with stable insulation behaviour over the lifetime) due to applying PIR

• Closed cell structure• No degeneration• Minimum water absorption

The graph shows that a 5% increase in water contents results in a 200% increase in the thermal conductivity of mineral wool


PENTAIR

BENEFIT ON ENERGY USAGE

High energy savings (due to applying PIR insulation material instead of mineral wool) resulting in substantial yearly savings and a reduction of the carbon footprint


PENTAIR

BENEFIT ON ENERGY USAGE

High thermal insulation resistance of PIC material resulting in:

• Less energy needed to maintain the content of the tank at the required temperature

• Long cool down cycle

• Trac‐Loc® tank cool down from 80ºC to 60ºC at an average ambient temperature of 12ºC takes 1664 hours or almost 10 weeks

• Conventional insulated tank cooling under the same conditions takes 1332 hours or 7.8 weeks


PENTAIR

BENEFIT ON TOTAL COSTS OF OWNERSHIP (TCO)

Cost comparison between Trac‐Loc® and conventional systems

• Investment + maintenance + energy over the life time minimizing the TCO

• Results– Annual savings

– Payback period

– R.O.I. (extra investment – annual savings)

• High importance of TCO versus the Total Investment Cost (TIC)
