En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 165,000 BBL per day, MOL Szazhalombatta Refinery est autour de la médiane des refinery en Hungary (165,000 BBL per day). Sous-secteur: oil-and-gas-refining. Comme refinery, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 200–600°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 raffineries chauffent, fractionnent et transforment chimiquement le pétrole brut en combustibles et matières premières pétrochimiques par distillation et craquage gourmands en énergie — extrêmement exigeants pour la génération de vapeur et la récupération de chaleur.
