LNG Processing and Production

LNG plants are commonly found in high-moisture geographic locations conducive to corrosion. Our hydrophobic insulation materials serve as a long-term solution within these facilities. 

Oil-Platform

Offshore Production

With a limited footprint, offshore platforms contain a large number of pipe fittings. Also located in harsh environments, this industry requires moisture-resistant, custom-fit thermal insulation.

Power Plant

Power Generation

Power generation facilities serve as a vital part of an infrastructure. Implementing SMC's patented fitting and piping covers can prevent future unit outages due to hidden maintenance and reliability issues.
