This RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Panel Insulation System was installed on a storage tank (also known as a streep) for Grain Processing Corporation, GPC located in Washington, IN.corn-based products including:
- Maltodextrins, Corn Syrup Solids, Starches and Dietary Fiber for the food, pharmaceutical and personal care markets
- Ethyl Alcohol for beverage and industrial use
- Starches for the paper, corrugated box, textile and wallboard industries
- Crude corn oil + corn germ
- Animal + pet nutrition ingredients
The tank was utilized to hold corn for the wet-milling process. In the corn wet-milling process the kernel is separated into its component parts, and those parts are further subdivided and refined.
The tank was a 22’ diameter x 36’ high welded tank. The project was completed in April 2015. While dealing with uncontrollable spring weather conditions and tight accessibility, the crew was able to complete the job on schedule.
