Industrial Insulation

Hertel carries out industrial insulation projects in all branches of industry, of course always under guarantee. Whether this involves thermal insulation, fire or acoustic insulation, each project fully meets the quality standards and safety requirements specified by the customer or CINI.
Conserving energy is high on most corporate agendas. Next to raw materials, energy represents the largest single cost of most manufacturing processes.

Hertel recognise thermal insulation as a valuable investment and a tremendous asset to energy conservation / process efficiency. Properly maintained insulation contributes significantly to a plant’s operating bottom line, in turn helping to reduce CO2 emissions.

An average sized plant has about 61 miles of insulated pipe work, equivalent to 6.5 football fields of insulated equipment, between 10% & 19% of damaged / missing insulation and many historically un insulated hot processes, it is hardly surprising that significant untapped energy saving potential exists.

Quantifying this damaged or missing insulation and calculating the associated energy losses is a unique service offered by Hertel. When the costs to carry out the repairs/improvements are compared to the cost of energy lost per annum, a return on investment (ROI) can be worked out, allowing prioritisation of the repairs for the greatest return.

Typically the ROI is over 100% providing a payback in less than 12 months, but more importantly the energy savings are realised year on year that the insulation remains fit for purpose resulting in reduced long term operating costs.
