Zusammenfassung:An insulation product for a pipe-in-pipe pipeline having a clamshell assembly formed of a lightweight, semi-rigid material forming an annular cylinder when closed around a pipe and configured to fill an internal space of a pipe-in-pipe pipeline system. The annular cylinder is split into multiple sections, each section having an internal void filled with insulating material, such as aerogel. The multiple sections are connected by flexible portions or hinges. The aerogel insulation is contained within a section of the annular cylinder. The clamshell assembly is quickly and simply installed to a pipeline and accepts a wide variety of insulation types and forms to reduce production time and expense.
