INDUSTRY INSULATION
TIPCHECK case study 1:
Chemical plant (NL) - Piping
• Insulation investment: 66,700 EUR
• Insulation savings: 112,000 EUR/a
• Payback period: 0.6 (a)
TIPCHECK case study 2:
Refinery (IT) - Rooftop storage tank
• Insulation investment: 430,000 EUR
• Insulation savings: 344,000 EUR/a
• Payback period: 1.25 (a)
