Dyplast Products raising Hurricane Funds to aid our customers in Puerto Rico and their families

Dyplast’s employees and our business were spared damage from hurricane IRMA. Our customers in Puerto Rico experienced hurricane Irma and as we are writing this today, the full fury of hurricane Maria. The current situation is that the emergency agencies are stating that the islands will be without electricity and more importantly water for weeks.

We at Dyplast have taken the initiative to help our customers’ and their families by shipping water, generators, and other essential items to help them through the aftermath of these storms. We believe we will be helping over 200 families through our efforts.

If you would like to join us in our very personal effort, we welcome any assistance, please contact Yamilet Ramirez yramirez@dyplastproducts.com Vincent Fuster vfuster@dyplast.com or any Dyplast associate.

Dyplast Reopens after Hurricane Irma

Dyplast and our employees very much appreciate the thoughts and prayers so many of you offered to us and indeed all in the path of Hurricane IRMA. All of our personnel are safe although a number still do not have electricity and water.

 

The Miami plant sustained minimal damage, and we appreciated the efforts that our staff made to be at the plant this morning. They came in spite of personal hardships.

 

Dyplast anticipates being operational on or before Friday September 15, 2017. We still have spotty telephone service at the site.

 

We further anticipate that we will be back to normal operations next week fulfilling all orders. If you had already placed orders before Dyplast suspended operations these shipments will have priority.

 

Thank you for your patience. Please contact your Account Manager if you cannot get through to Customer Service, and you can always contact me directly via my cell.

Dyplast publishes new article, "Insulation Installation" in LNG magazine

The fifth Dyplast article published in LNG Industry magazine is entitled "Insulation Installation". Dyplast has devoted significant resources to producing and providing the insulation industry with in depth analysis and explanation of leading industry issues through its articles in LNG magazine. Previous Articles include...

LNG Industry Magazine (Mission Critical) July 2015

LNG Industry Magazine (Logical Thinking) Feb 2016

LNG Industry Magazine (Risk Mitigation, Beyond Standards) July 2016

LNG Industry Magazine (Commercial Quality Control The Missing Link) Jan 2017

Below is an exerpt of the new article..."Insulation Installation"

"Failures at a new LNG facility during the first few months of initial operations can be expensive and cause damage to a company's image. Therefore, most companies do everything possible to ensure a 'perfect start-up', but this is easier said than done. Identifying what may ultimately cause problems is a first step to controlling and eliminating those problems. Although it may be challenging to anticipate the main reasons for forced shutdowns or curtailments during the first months of operation, poor design and installation of the insulation system are clearly on the list.

While many of the principles that are discussed are applicable to any insulant, this article focuses on polyisocyanurate (polyiso) and cellular glass (cell glass), since there is more long-term experience with those insulants, with successful service, with no failures over periods of 20 years and more."

Dyplast new Article, “Commercial Quality Control: The Missing Link”, in LNG Industry Magazine

Dyplast Products has published its latest article in LNG Magazine titled “Commercial Quality Control: The Missing Link”. In an era with disparate pricing, a multiplicity of owners/stakeholders, long-term price volatility, multiple concurrent plant constructions, a shortage of skilled personnel, and increasingly complex technologies, owners/stakeholders in LNG projects increasingly face new risks.

This article introduces commercial quality control as an approach to move more impact factors to the controllable side of the ledger, and also as a way of better identifying and mitigating risks across the project lifecycle – beginning at project inception, but encompassing development, financing, construction and operations.

Ted TALK #3: “Due Diligence!”

Ted TALK: “Due Diligence!”

Dyplast’s ongoing survey of below-ambient insulation applications indicates that over 65% of projects fail to exercise reasonable due diligence that would have otherwise resulted in lower capital costs while achieving higher thermal efficiencies.

I’ve spoken on this before, particularly at Conferences, on Panels, and within Industry Magazines. Due diligence expresses the care that a reasonable person exercises to research, analyze, and prepare for a transaction, process, or strategy. 

My many esteemed colleagues will echo my personal astonishment regarding how many insulants are selected without the supplier even demonstrating compliance with applicable Codes and Standards such as ASTM, CINI, etc. - - measured by an independent third party - - not by an in-house lab, and not a product formulation different from the product delivered. And since insulants are meant to insulate over the long term, due diligence is also intended to ensure the life-cycle balance of cost versus performance is achieved.

It is increasingly incumbent on engineers, specifiers, asset owners, and stakeholders to be diligent regarding the facts, the relevance of the facts, and full disclosure of facts. A life-cycle costing of the insulation system is also warranted in the majority of applications.

Respectfully

Ted Berglund

President
