![Hopper Heaters: Traditional vs. modern method ThermaSeam - Tank Insulation System by Thermon](/files/images/thermon-thermaseam_tank-insulation-system_.png)
The ThermaSeam tank insulation system, introduced by Thermon in 1992,
is an improved method used to provide temperature conservation and condensate prevention.
Tanks benefitting from this system typically contain
petroleums, chemicals, asphalt, anhydrous ammonia, beverages and chilled water (for HVAC storage).
ThermaSeam tank insulation systems are:
- Extremely durable
- Maintenance-free
- Aesthetically pleasing
- Cost-effective
Benefits of ThermaSeam vertical insulation panels for tanks
The strength and durability of the system is derived from machine-formed, double-locking standing seams between adjacent panels. These seams provide a weatherproof barrier that extend the entire height of the tank and serve as the attachment point for securing the panels to the tank.

ThermaSeam panels installed radially on a tank roof provide a weatherproof surface. Protrusions are tightly fitted and sealed.
Stainless steel retaining clips captured in the machine-formed seam are secured to steel cables wrapped around the perimeter of the tank. External banding, a traditional weak spot in the tank insulation process, is eliminated.

Dedicated insulation clips on the side of the tank are also not required. The ThermaSeam system is unique in that scaffolding is not normally required for installation. A work cage attached to a nozzle or painter’s lug permits the installer to travel around the tank with the seamer.
Storage tanks three meters or greater in diameter that require insulation are ideal candidates for a ThermaSeam system.
