W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 1 unitless, ASARCO LLC AMARILLO COPPER REFINERY jest około medianę non-ferrous metals plant w United States (1 unitless). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 54% poniżej medianę non-ferrous metals plant. Podsektor: other-metals. Jako non-ferrous metals plant, wymaga intensywnego ciepła procesowego (typowo 400–1200°C) do swoich głównych operacji przemysłowych — ciepła, które musi być dostarczane przez kotły, piece lub spalanie bezpośrednie, a straty przez nieisolowane zbiorniki i rury stanowią zmarnowane paliwo. Modułowa izolacja demontowalna może zmniejszyć te straty o 80–96%, chłodząc powierzchnie do ≤45°C, z zwrotem inwestycji często poniżej 2 lat. Huty metali nieżelaznych topią, rafinują i odlewają metale w piecach i tyglach powyżej ich punktów topnienia; straty z nieisolowanych transferów i zbiorników retencyjnych są znaczące.
