Assess energy and carbon in brewing

Set the boundary first. Collect site evidence before selecting a measure or reporting a result.

01

Set the assessment boundary

Separate brewhouse, packaging, cleaning, refrigeration and boiler-house duties. Record the production schedule and product basis.

02

Collect site evidence

Brew volume, batch schedules, steam, hot water, refrigeration electricity, cleaning cycles, temperatures and operating hours.

Inzonex removable modular insulation on industrial equipment
Equipment heat loss

Measure exposed hot surfaces

Use measured surface area, temperature and operating hours to calculate heat loss from boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and pipework. Inzonex supplies removable modular insulation for equipment that requires maintenance access.

  • Design target: surface temperature at or below 45 °C, subject to the application and design review
  • Claimed heat-loss reduction: up to 96%, subject to the measured boundary and insulation specification
  • Removable construction for inspection and maintenance access
  • Calculation record available for the selected equipment and operating conditions

Do not add a calculated reduction to an emissions report until the reporting boundary, factor, implementation date and verification method have been approved.

03

Record the decision

Check source and sink timing before specifying heat recovery. Keep product, cleaning and utility boundaries separate.

04

Assess exposed hot equipment

Use the brewery heat map to inventory vessels, valves, steam and condensate equipment. Confirm each surface and operating state on site.

05

Use the technical source

US Department of Energy: Steam Systems

This page does not assign a sector benchmark, standard saving, cost or payback. Use current site data, record the calculation method and obtain the required technical and compliance review.
