AIS, global supplier of insulation, passive fire protection, buoyancy, and cable protection systems, has been awarded a substantial contract to provide ContraFlex&reg; insulation jackets for an FPSO (floating production storage and offloading) vessel. The contract was awarded by a Japanese company operating in Brazil. 
 
The scope includes 400 sqm of thermal insulation for various valves, flanges and pipes plus the installation of all jackets after delivery. 
 
Wilian Tenorio &ndash; AIS do Brasil&acute;s ContraFlex&reg; sales manager said, &quot;We are very pleased with this award. Our high-quality jackets and high level of service played a big part in our negotiations with this customer. Our new QR code technology was also important; it allows full traceability throughout and simplifies installation. It also allows the customer to easily track and make any replacements in the future.&quot; 
 
The jackets are AIS do Brasil&#39;s first substantial order for thermal insulation for offshore applications and will be installed in the Brazilian pre-salt area, in the Santos Basin. The FPSO is capable of processing 150,000 barrels of oil per day, 280 MMSCFD (million standard cubic feet of gas per day) and has a storage capacity of 1,600,000 barrels of total fluids.
