Industrial Thermal and Cryogenic
Insulation Engineering
ERATHERM delivers industrial thermal and cryogenic insulation system design, material procurement, field application and performance verification under one team for energy, process and advanced-technology facilities. We develop calculable and field-applicable systems for refinery, power, petrochemical, LNG, defense, space systems, cryogenic storage and critical-infrastructure projects.
Single Accountability from Design to Performance Verification
ERATHERM treats insulation not merely as a material-and-cladding job, but as an engineering system in which the three fundamental heat-transfer mechanisms — conduction, convection and radiation — are evaluated together with process safety, corrosion control, maintenance access and life-cycle cost.
Our field experience feeds design decisions; calculations, technical specifications, drawings and quality plans are translated into applicable details. Depending on project needs, engineering, material procurement, field application, inspection and commissioning are delivered under a single contract or as independent packages.
Calculable design. Applicable detail. Verifiable performance.
About Us ›Industrial Thermal Insulation Engineering for Process Plants
ERATHERM engineers and delivers hot-service insulation systems for industrial piping, equipment, tanks, turbines, boilers, furnaces and ductwork—from thermal calculation and detail design through material supply, field installation and QA/QC.
Industrial thermal insulation must do more than cover a hot surface. The complete system must limit heat loss, maintain the required process temperature, keep accessible surfaces within the project’s personnel-protection criteria and remain serviceable under vibration, weather, wash-down, mechanical loading and repeated thermal cycles.
ERATHERM evaluates operating and design temperatures, equipment geometry, ambient conditions, wind exposure, emissivity, insulation thermal conductivity, corrosion-under-insulation risk, access requirements and plant maintenance strategy together. The resulting material, thickness, layer sequence, support and metal-cladding details are defined for the actual project—not selected from a generic material schedule.
Our engineering team converts these inputs into an applicable insulation package aligned with contract requirements, project specifications, approved manufacturer data and relevant ASTM, ISO and CINI criteria. The same technical basis then continues through procurement, construction, inspection and performance verification.

Explore Marine Platforms ›Thermal, Cryogenic and Specialized Insulation Systems
A correct insulation system is not defined by a single material. Operating temperature, ambient conditions, water-vapor transmission, fire risk, corrosion, maintenance strategy and life-cycle cost are evaluated together; ERATHERM determines the system architecture and material combination according to these criteria.
From thermal insulation that limits heat loss at high temperature to cryogenic systems that manage condensation and heat-leak risk in fluids such as LNG, LH₂ and ammonia, every application requires a distinct design. Mineral wool, aerogel, PIR/PUR and cellular glass work as an integrated system with layer architecture, vapor barrier and outer cladding.
In cryogenic storage and advanced-technology infrastructures, vacuum and MLI architectures come into play; this approach delivers energy efficiency, CUI control and personnel protection at the same time.

We Turn Field Experience into Engineering Decisions
At ERATHERM, calculation, drawing and application are not disconnected processes. Field findings such as joints, cladding, supports, thermal bridges, drainage, maintenance access and installation tolerances are written into design checklists.
As a result, systems are evaluated not only for theoretical performance, but also for applicability, quality control and service life.
