En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Subsector: oil-and-gas-refining. Como refinery, requiere calor de proceso intenso (típicamente 200–600°C) para sus operaciones industriales centrales — calor que debe ser suministrado por calderas, hornos o combustión directa, y las pérdidas a través de recipientes y tuberías sin aislar representan combustible desperdiciado. El aislamiento modular desmontable puede reducir esas pérdidas en un 80–96%, enfriando superficies a ≤45°C, con amortización a menudo inferior a 2 años. Las refinerías calientan, fraccionan y transforman químicamente el petróleo crudo en combustibles y materias primas petroquímicas mediante destilación y craqueo que consumen mucha energía — extremadamente exigentes en generación de vapor y recuperación de calor.
