| Check | Removable insulation | Carbon capture and storage |
|---|---|---|
| System change | Reduce heat transfer from exposed valves, flanges, fittings and equipment while retaining maintenance access. | Separate carbon dioxide from a process or combustion stream, condition it, transport it and store it under an approved system. |
| Evidence required | Surface inventory, external geometry, temperature, ambient conditions, operating hours, insulation construction and coverage boundary. | Stream flow and composition, capture rate, energy demand, transport route, storage availability, monitoring and regulatory approvals. |
| Principal constraint | An omitted hot surface, inaccessible joint or unsuitable construction changes the result and the maintenance outcome. | Capture percentage is not the same as net lifecycle reduction. Include additional energy and the full chain. |

Read Removable insulation · Read Carbon capture and storage
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.
Do not add a calculated reduction to an emissions report until the reporting boundary, factor, implementation date and verification method have been approved.
