Supertex Lourdes S.A. De C.V. is a textile mill in El Salvador with a reported capacity of 149,911,890 USD. It spins, dyes and finishes textiles, leather or apparel using process steam. By capacity it ranks #10 of 24 textile mills tracked in El Salvador. It emits about 3,282 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 765 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-38475491.
Con 149,911,890 USD, Supertex Lourdes S.A. De C.V. está alrededor de la mediana de textile mill en El Salvador (149,911,890 USD). Subsector: textiles-leather-apparel. Como textile mill, requiere calor de proceso intenso (típicamente 60–150°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 fábricas textiles utilizan vapor de proceso para teñido, acabado y secado, a menudo requiriendo control de temperatura muy ajustado durante largos tiempos de funcionamiento — la pérdida de calor continua erosiona ganancias.

A textile mill like this runs hot equipment that sheds heat continuously: dyeing vessels, stenters/dryers, steam lines, hot-water & boiler house (surface/process temperatures around 80–200 °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.
effectively industrial laundries/dyeing - steam & hot water; 500-3000 MWh typical.
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 1,600 MWh/yr (≈ 320 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.
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.
