Innovation in Thermal Insulation Technology! AcKaM Delivers Keynote Speech at 2024 National Thermal Engineering Conference

On November 6, 2024, AcKaM Industrial participated as a co-organizer in the annual conference of the Thermal Engineering Committee under the China Petroleum and Chemical Survey & Design Association, alongside the National Chemical Thermal Engineering Design Technology Center Station. This prestigious gathering brought together over 300 industry leaders, academic experts, and government representatives to address critical energy efficiency challenges in petrochemical processing.

At this landmark event, AcKaM unveiled its groundbreaking thermal insulation innovation - Mesoporous Ultra-Low Thermal Conductivity Material. Representing one of China's few nanotechnology breakthroughs leading global materials science, this mesoporous insulation solution demonstrates a remarkable thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.018W/(m·K) at 650°C, outperforming conventional microporous materials by 40%. The presentation specifically highlighted its revolutionary applications in steam pipeline networks and industrial heat preservation systems.

Steam energy, accounting for 37% of total industrial energy consumption according to NDRC statistics, remains pivotal for manufacturing processes. With 17 years' expertise in steam equipment R&D and a mature energy management system certified to ISO 50001 standards, AcKaM has developed a spray-applied insulation coating through its collaboration with Fudan University's Advanced Materials Laboratory. This nano-composite "thermal armor" features:

• Rapid-curing properties enabling 68% faster installation than traditional wrappings

• Seamless adhesion to complex geometries through proprietary spray techniques

• Self-healing capabilities maintaining <5% thermal loss after 10,000 thermal cycles

• Predictive maintenance integration via embedded IoT sensors

During his keynote speech, Executive VP Zhang Zhengkai outlined AcKaM's strategic evolution: "Our 2023-2025 technology roadmap focuses on three breakthrough axes: pressure optimization, digital twins, and sustainable insulation. The shockwave pressurization device we're testing achieves 92% isentropic efficiency, while our digital energy platform reduces steam wastage by 18% through machine learning-driven anomaly detection."

Conference delegates particularly engaged with AcKaM's live exhibition showcasing:

• A working model of hydrogen-steam hybrid transmission pipelines

• Real-time thermal imaging comparisons of mesoporous vs traditional insulation

• Augmented reality demonstrations of predictive maintenance protocols

The exhibition's interactive sessions revealed that 82% of surveyed engineers prioritized AcKaM's spray insulation technology for plant retrofitting projects. Technical sales specialists elaborated on field application cases, including a recent implementation at Sinopec's Zhejiang refinery that reduced annual steam losses by 2,100 tons equivalent to ¥1.7 million cost savings.

Notably, AcKaM's mesoporous material production leverages patent-pending sol-gel synthesis technology, enabling:

• 50nm-80nm controllable pore size distribution

• 8% higher hydrothermal stability than international benchmarks

• Full VOC-free manufacturing process alignment with EU REACH standards

The company also disclosed plans for a ¥50 million pilot production line in Changzhou Hi-Tech Zone, scheduled for Q2 2025 operational commencement. This facility will incorporate AI-powered quality control systems and robotic spray-coating application workshops, projected to increase production capacity by 300% while maintaining zero liquid discharge.

Industry analysts at the event noted AcKaM's solutions directly address three critical pain points:

• 29% average energy loss in legacy industrial steam networks

• 45% maintenance cost reduction through predictive insulation monitoring

• 60% shorter retrofit downtime using rapid-curing materials

With 14 patent applications filed related to mesoporous technology and strategic MoUs signed with three design institutes during the conference, AcKaM solidifies its position as an innovation driver in China's energy efficiency sector. The company anticipates its new insulation solutions will capture 15-20% market share in chemical plant upgrades by 2026, potentially reducing national industrial carbon emissions by 2.7 million tonnes annually.
