En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 1,018,563,604 USD, Ab „Žemaitijos Pienas‘ est autour de la médiane des food & beverage plant en Lithuania (1,018,563,604 USD). Sous-secteur: food-beverage-tobacco. Comme food & beverage plant, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 80–200°C) pour ses opérations industrielles essentielles — chaleur qui doit être fournie par des chaudières, fours ou combustion directe, et les pertes par les récipients et tuyauteries non isolés représentent du combustible gaspillé. L'isolation modulaire amovible peut réduire ces pertes de 80–96%, refroidissant les surfaces à ≤45°C, avec des délais d'amortissement souvent inférieurs à 2 ans. Les usines alimentaires et de boissons utilisent des chaudières, cuiseurs, pasteurisateurs et sécheurs qui fonctionnent en continu; la perte de chaleur par les tuyauteries et récipients non isolés réduit directement le débit et l'efficacité.

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.

EU: funding & obligation

Obligation. Under the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (Art. 8), large undertakings (>250 staff or >€50M turnover / >€43M balance) must run an energy audit every 4 years or operate a certified energy management system (ISO 50001).

Funding. National energy-efficiency grants and white-certificate schemes typically apply — check the local programme.
