New Componit

Technologies and Innovation

Since our company was founded in 1986, we have always invested in research with the aim to solve complex problems thanks to innovative technology solutions.

Today, the market competitiveness requires organizations to always be at the forefront in all aspects.

For this reason, New Componit, after the initial commitment to the search for every possible alternative to asbestos, has always been at the forefront in the research, development and use of products that ensure effectiveness in applications and, at the same time, safeguard the safety and health of people and respect for the environment.

In order to pursue these goals, we also invest in innovative technologies of machinery and in the training of personnel that works with them.

With these assumptions, today we produce textile expansion jointsinsulating and fireproofing blankets, safety shields, rubber expansion joints and acoustic cleaning systems. Through these products we aim to find concrete and technologically advanced solutions related to heat, noise and expansion problems due to temperature changes.

How can I be sure that the materials, we use for our solutions, fully comply with the operating conditions and the required technical characteristics?

The possibility to test what we use, to understand exactly what happens to the different materials during the operation, to simulate extreme and stressful conditions, becomes a winning company asset.

To be able to show by means of tests, reports videos, analysis, what happens to the materials is an exceptional “plus” , which helps the customer to eliminate his doubts about the product he is buying!

To do this, it is necessary to use specialized laboratories or equip yourself with your own internal laboratory; a test room able of simulating the operating conditions and then processing the data, by means of special software and targeted data logger, capable of supporting the results of tests.

This is where the decisive “research and development” department comes into play; a strategic function in the company organization, which is entrusted with the company ability to build and preserve its competitive advantage.

Innovation has been New Componit hallmark since its establishment 35 years ago.

Innovation with textile solution for heat control. Until then, asbestos was the most used material for the insulation at high temperature. It has been used for decades, but in seventies came to light the serious problems it caused, by inhalation, to human health.

New Componit was born with the idea of replacing asbestos in industrial applications, especially in its textile form. Since then New Componit has had the mission of proposing textile solutions for heat and temperature control.

Since, these are solutions that improve the quality of the environment and the impact on health, New Componit can be considered an “ante litteram” environmental company and not surprisingly, it immediately chose “green” as its corporate colour.

New Componit with its technical department designs the products which then produces in its factory and sells all over the world. In the modern world the changes are continuous and fast and the need of innovation has always affected New Cpmponit even unexpectedly; the company has always tried to play ahead, launching itself in new challenges.

The environmental issue, with the energy saving and CO2 reduction plan, the fight against pollution, the increased attention to worker safety, require to keep up and have completely changed the approach to thermal insulation problems. For this need to insulate anything more and better,  New Componit has decided to revamp the line of insulating  jackets, alongside the one of fabric expansion joints.

These jackets, made of glass fiber fabric, are versatile and can be used in a lot of plants, where there are valves, flanged couplings, pumps, filters and many other small elements,  which are neglected by traditional insulation but that can be points of heat dispersion and therefore of energy.

New Componit textile solutions for heat control are allies in the battle for environmental protection and against pollution.

The processes of all industrial plants involve the use of pipes, for the passage of liquid or gaseous fluids. Almost always the pipes are delimited by flanged couplings or two flanges, used to join two pipes.

The solution to overcome problems are flange protections “shields”, designed and built with technical fabrics or  made of stainless steel.

Fabric cover shields are mainly made of Teflon, which is suitable to withstand aggressive fluids and temperatures up to 300 °C. They can be made of pure transparent PTFE,  with leak indicators, that allow the flange cover to change the colour upon contact with acids or strong bases and even in antistatic Teflon for use in ATEX areas.

The stainless steel flange covers are designed to prevent that dangerous jets of fluids, with high pressure or high temperature (up to 900°C) , hit people or things.

Our CHEMJETSHIELDS, which are stainless steel flange covers, are certified as protection to prevent jet fire primers in petrochemical, off-shore and hydrocarbon storage plants.

Here we are together again to share technological solutions by means of removable insulation.

The topic of the day is noise. The question I am often asked is: How can I reduce the noise of a particular device like a fan, an engine, a compressor?

Well. First of all, it is necessary to have a technical expertise in the acoustic environment and be able to use calculation and analysis systems to determine what the noise frequencies are and how to reduce them.

Physically, to break them down, we’ll use acoustic absorbing materials, that properly work on the frequencies previously analyzed.

Furthermore we can use a combination of materials to achieve a better result.

But there are also problems of space and particular shapes, that these equipments sometimes have and which do not allow traditional insulation.

At this point a removable acoustic insulation can help us, it is perfect for any particular shapes and  it is easy to install and remove. Often it can also be combined to the heating insulation part, in this way we obtain a thermo-acoustic insulation, which allows energy savings .

If we did not have thermal insulation before, we had a waste of energy and therefore a waste o money.

In the end there is also the protection of the operators who work close to these devices.

In a piping system, joints and threaded fittings in flanges form, rather than sockets or expansion joints are obviously a daily occurrence.

Flanges

Within a piping system, the flange is therefore a mechanical part intended to provide a non-permanent connection between two pipes. They are points where pressure, heat, vibrations are particularly strong and above all they are structurally weak points, because they are contact points between different connections.

They are points that cannot be welded to increase their resistance, as they must allow disconnection between pipes for scheduled or accidental maintenance.

Why cover the flanges

Because they are “weak points“, in a piping system it is important to cover the flanges so that operators can work safely.

Flanged couplings crossed by chemically aggressive products or any potentially harmful product are a source of risk to the safety of personnel. In the event of failure, the liquid flowing inside can be projected from the flange coupling in a wide radius and with high kinetic energy (a phenomenon known as “Jet Fire“).

For this reason, flange couplings must be provided with adequate protection against such events.

How to cover the flanges?

There are two ways to cover the flanges properly  by using: metal flange safety shields or fabric flange safety shields.

Metal flange safety shields  are realized with  different types of stainless steel, depending on the fluid flowing through the pipes, so that in the event of a leak the flange safety shield will tend to contain the fluid inside, letting it to drip to the ground, in this way the pressure is eliminated .

In particular, New Componit metal flange safety shields are made of Stainless Steel 304, Stainless Steel 316 L and Stainless Steel 310.

Metal flange safety shields are very strong, have a very high durability, but have the drawback that they do not contain heat.

Textile flange safety shields, on the other hand, are designed with special technical fabrics, depending on the type of fluid that is conveyed in the pipes and the temperature that can be reached. Among the materials that can be used there are fibreglass and PVC.

Compared to their metal counterparts, textile flange safety shields  have the advantage to be heat-insulating. This is important  in all situations where the fluids flowing inside the pipes are particularly hot, because it allows the operator to work without the fear to get burned.

Furthermore, since they are “custom-made“, the  textile flange safety shields can be used where traditional metal insulation cannot be, for example: because there is no space for its installation or because of the conformation of the system itself, so the flange is in a “difficult” place or has been designed in a particular way.
