PROJECT NOTES: Brock White is proud to have been selected as the chosen supplier of Fuller Austin Insulation for the building, equipment and vessel insulation for the Husky Ethanol Project. Roxul SturdiRock pipe insulation was specified for use on piping from the ground to the seven feet level to protect against mechanical abuse. Les Taylor, site Superintendent for Fuller Austin, said SturdiRock was easier to work with than calcium silicate pipe insulation, and the density was there.”
Roxul Techton 1200 pipe insulation was used for the balance of the piping to provide personnel protection and thermal efficiency. Roxul MB Plus mineral wood blanket insulation was selected throughout the plants buildings for it’s lightweight and fire resistant properties.
3M Fire Barrier 2001 Silicone RTV Foam was used throughout the milling and mashing stairwells in the distillation building to provide containment for fire safety. This new $150,000,000 ethanol facility is expected to produce 140 million litres each year. This will assist with the Canadian federal governments mandate of having all gas sold in the country using a 5% ethanol blend by 2010.
