ELVALHALCOR S.A. - ALUMINIUM ROLLING DIVISION

ELVALHALCOR S.A. - ALUMINIUM ROLLING DIVISION is a non-ferrous metals plant in Greece with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It smelts or refines non-ferrous metals. It emits about 114,000 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 26,573 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 148% above the median non-ferrous metals plant.

文脈内で：この施設がどのように比較されるか

1 unitlessで、ELVALHALCOR S.A. - ALUMINIUM ROLLING DIVISIONはGreeceのnon-ferrous metals plantの中央値約 1 unitlessです。 サブセクター：other-metals。 non-ferrous metals plantとして、その中核的な産業操業に対して激しいプロセス熱（通常400–1200°C）が必要です。この熱はボイラー、炉、または直接燃焼によって供給される必要があり、未断熱容器および配管からの損失は無駄な燃料を表します。モジュール式脱着可能な断熱は、これらの損失を80～96%削減でき、表面を≤45°Cに冷却でき、回収期間は通常2年未満です。 非鉄金属工場は、融点以上の炉および坩堝で金属を溶融、精製および鋳造します。未断熱転送および保有容器からの損失は重要です。

Heat loss & insulation profile

A non-ferrous metals plant like this runs hot equipment that sheds heat continuously: furnaces, ladles, heat-treatment ovens, ducting & valves (surface/process temperatures around 150–1,000 °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.

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 2,100 MWh/yr (≈ 430 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.
