W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 1,600,000 t of ethylene, Yanbu Petrochemical Co. (Yanpet), Yanbu, jest około medianę petrochemical w Saudi Arabia (1,450,000 t of ethylene). Podsektor: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Jako petrochemical, wymaga intensywnego ciepła procesowego (typowo 300–800°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. Zakłady petrochemiczne krają węglowodory w bardzo wysokich temperaturach, aby produkować etylen, propylen i inne chemikalia podstawowe — jeden z najbardziej termochłonnych procesów przemysłowych.
