Oleificio San Giorgio S.P.A.

Oleificio San Giorgio S.P.A. is a food & beverage plant in Italy with a reported capacity of 4,676,674,210 USD. It processes food, beverages or tobacco — typically with boilers, cookers and dryers. By capacity it ranks #5 of 37 food & beverage plants tracked in Italy. It emits about 97,128 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 22,641 cars.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 4,676,674,210 USD ist Oleificio San Giorgio S.P.A. etwa um dem Medianwert von food & beverage plant in Italy (4,676,674,210 USD). Untersektor: food-beverage-tobacco. Als food & beverage plant benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 80–200°C) für seinen Kernbetrieb — Wärme, die durch Dampfkessel, Öfen oder direkte Verbrennung geliefert werden muss, und Verluste durch ungedämmte Behälter und Rohrleitungen stellen verschwendeten Brennstoff dar. Modulare abnehmbare Dämmung kann diese Verluste um 80–96% senken, Oberflächen auf ≤45°C kühlen, mit Amortisationszeiten oft unter 2 Jahren. Lebens- und Genussmittelbetriebe nutzen Dampfkessel, Kochgeräte, Pasteurisiergeräte und Trockner, die kontinuierlich laufen; Wärmeverlust aus ungedämmten Rohrleitungen und Behältern reduziert Durchsatz und Effizienz direkt.

Heat loss & insulation profile

A food & beverage plant like this runs hot equipment that sheds heat continuously: cookers & kettles, pasteurisers, CIP hot-water sets, dryers, steam lines, tanks, valves (surface/process temperatures around 70–200 °C). These surfaces lose energy to the air year-round; removable modular insulation cuts that loss, brings outer surfaces to ≤45 °C, and unclips for inspection.

very wide by site size; many bare low-temp surfaces (CIP, steam, pasteurisation) - often toward upper end.

Indicative recoverable energy

On an already-insulated site (pipes & valves in cladding / jackets), closing the remaining gaps, flanges and damaged sections and switching to removable covers indicatively recovers about 7,000 MWh/yr (≈ 1,400 t CO₂/yr) — scaled to this site's reported CO₂ within its sector. Bare or damaged surfaces recover several times more.

Indicative, not a measurement. Conservative floor for an already-insulated plant; a TIPCHECK on-site audit gives a measured figure. Industry context: EiiF TIPCHECK — industrial insulation can save ~14 Mtoe/yr in EU, payback typically <2 years.

Safety & the no-regret first step

Bare hot surfaces here exceed the touch-safe limit (EN ISO 13732-1); insulation to ≤45 °C is a worker-safety and compliance win. And before electrification, fuel-switching or CCS, eliminating surface heat loss is the cheapest, fastest, lowest-risk step — audit the bare spots first, rip-and-replace later.

Italy: funding & obligation

Funding. MIMIT plan (~EUR 12.7B): tax credits for efficiency/decarbonization investments (requires a certified energy diagnosis to access).

Obligation. Mandatory energy diagnosis every 4 yrs for large enterprises (>250 staff or >EUR 50M) and energy-intensive companies (>10 TJ/yr from 2026); ENEA penalties up to EUR 40,000. (applies as a rule above the stated threshold — we don't hold this site's metered energy use).
