Steel PlantBolivia

ESM Mutún steel plant is a steel plant in Bolivia. It produces crude steel from iron ore (blast furnace) or scrap (electric arc furnace).

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-48306440.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Sottosettore: iron-and-steel. Come steel plant, richiede calore di processo intenso (tipicamente 800–1500°C) per le sue operazioni industriali essenziali — calore che deve essere fornito da caldaie, forni o combustione diretta, e le perdite attraverso recipienti e tubazioni non isolati rappresentano carburante sprecato. L'isolamento modulare removibile può ridurre queste perdite dell'80–96%, raffreddando superfici a ≤45°C, con payback spesso inferiore a 2 anni. Gli impianti siderurgici bruciano carbone in altiforni o utilizzano archi elettrici per fondere rottami; in entrambi i casi, il metallo fuso deve essere mantenuto sopra i 1.500°C e trasferito attraverso estesi tubi e recipienti caldi.
