STL: Instant Energy & Cost Savings

Thermal Insulation Jackets & Blankets

Published: 10th November 2025 | Issue 102 Share article:

Many boiler houses, steam systems and thermal energy systems are poorly insulated or have no insulation at all, especially when it comes to valves, regulators and vessels.  Every hot, bare surface represents a potential loss of heat energy and therefore money, and they also pose a huge health risk.  Each year, a poorly insulated system can lose tens of thousands of pounds in lost energy and, as a result, also increase its CO2 emissions.  

STL Power & Process Controls offer a high quality, reuseable insulation product, through their insulation expert partner TAS Blanket Insulation Kft, that will vastly reduce heat losses and remove the health risk that exposed, hot surfaces present.

TAS thermal insulation jackets and blankets are handmade to order and can be easily fitted to a wide variety of valves, pipework and complex surfaces including boiler panels and manways, and condensate recovery systems and vessels, which are often uninsulated.  We can offer insulation suitable for surface temperatures up to 593°c with a variety of fastening and construction options. 

Our range of insulation jackets and blankets can be supplied as individual items or as part of a larger package.  STL can also conduct an onsite survey and provide a report to identify cost savings by installing our insulation jackets and blankets, with an average ROI of under 18 months.

Removable & Reusable to drastically lower operation costs, shorten down-time, save valuable energy, improve the work environment and reduce labour costs associated with installation, removal and reinstallation.

Custom designed and self-contained results in quality construction for specific applications; quality designs retrofitted to field conditions and design features.  constructed of a high-density insulation filler with a fully encapsulated outer jacketing.  The outer jacketing is double sewn (and reinforced if required) and bound at the closing seams.  The jacketing and sewn construction ensure long lasting protection to the insulation filler.

CAD technology for maximum design accuracy.  STL’s expert partner produces standard and customised designs for a broad range of equipment including condensate pumps, all types of valves, strainers, steam traps, boilers and many other vessels. Blankets can be engineered for even the most difficult geometric surfaces (e.g., steam turbines).

STL can also offer bespoke OEM insulation packages that can include design from concept, specific colour requirements, batch supply and own label implementation for key manufacturers.
