The proof: Case Studies
# 1. Refinery | Oil storage tank roof
Storage temperature: 60°C / 140°F
BEFORE | AFTER THE TIPCHECK |
---|---|
Old and damaged insulation on the roof | Saved ~7.500 MWh of energy / year |
CUI problems: roof sheets heavily corroded | Saved € 185.0000 per year |
The roof had to be replaced | Payback time less than 2 years |
CO₂ emission reduction potential 1.500 t/year | |
Results against uninsulated with an optimised insulation applied with a technical solution avoiding CUI problems |
# 2. Chemical Plant
Process temperature: from 75°C/ 167°F to 150°C/ 302°F
BEFORE | AFTER THE TIPCHECK |
---|---|
650 m of piping with missing or damaged insulation | Saved ~11.100 MWh of energy / year |
300 uninsulated pairs of flanges | Saved € 200.000 per year |
160 uninsulated valves | Payback time less than 1 year |
3 uninsulated tanks | CO₂ emission reduction potential 2.240 t/year |
# 3. Refinery
Process temperature: 260°C/ 500°F
BEFORE | AFTER THE TIPCHECK |
---|---|
1 uninsulated valve 12’ | Saved ~114 MWh of energy per year |
Saved € 3.200 per year | |
Payback time less than 1 year | |
CO₂ emission reduction potential 51 t/year |
