W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 466,667 t of steel, Kurum International Elbasan steel plant jest około medianę steel plant w Albania (466,667 t of steel). Podsektor: iron-and-steel. Jako steel plant, wymaga intensywnego ciepła procesowego (typowo 800–1500°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 stali spalają węgiel w piecach wielkich lub używają łuków elektrycznych do topienia złomu; w obu przypadkach metal w stanie płynnym musi być utrzymywany powyżej 1.500°C i przenoszony przez rozległy system gorących rur i zbiorników.
