Cement PlantSwitzerlandCO₂ reported
Moriken Wildegg Cement Plant is a cement plant in Switzerland with a reported capacity of 800,000 t of cement. It burns limestone in high-temperature rotary kilns to make clinker and cement. It is operated by Jura-Holding AG. By capacity it ranks #4 of 6 cement plants tracked in Switzerland. It emits about 240,195 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 55,990 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 17% below the median cement plant.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-32437351.
При потужності 800,000 t of cement Moriken Wildegg Cement Plant — це приблизно медіана cement plant у Switzerland (800,000 t of cement). Підсектор: cement. Як cement plant, воно вимагає високотемпературного технологічного тепла (зазвичай 800–1400°C) для основних промислових операцій — тепла, яке повинне подаватися котлами, печами або прямим спаленням, і втрати через неізольовані судини та трубопроводи представляють витрачене напразно паливо. Знімна модульна теплоізоляція може зменшити ці втрати на 80–96%, охолодивши поверхню обладнання до ≤45°C, з окупністю часто менше 2 років. Цементні заводи нагрівають вапняк до 1400°C у обертових печах — один із найгарячіших промислових процесів — і повинні точно контролювати температуру по всій довжині печі.

A cement plant like this runs hot equipment that sheds heat continuously: rotary kiln shell, preheater tower, tertiary air duct & kiln hood, clinker-cooler ducts, valves (surface/process temperatures around 200–1,000 °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.
60% of cement CO2 is process calcination - NOT insulation-addressable; energy here is the fuel side only.
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 8,500 MWh/yr (≈ 2,900 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.
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.
