All 3 Documented Cases
Excess Heat Loss from Damaged or Missing Insulation
$67 million per year per refinery21.3% of insulated pipe in a typical 125,000 bpd oil refinery has damaged or missing insulation, causing continuous excess heat loss equivalent to 5,800 bpd of wasted crude oil. This requires additional fuel consumption to maintain process temperatures, leading to ongoing energy waste.
Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) and Maintenance Downtime
Hundreds of thousands to millions annually per siteCUI on insulated pipes and equipment leads to unplanned shutdowns, excessive maintenance costs, and disposal of contaminated insulation during outages. This erodes asset integrity, increases fuel/steam use, and poses safety risks from hot surfaces.
Unplanned Downtime from Insulation Failures
Lost production equivalent to 4.6% of refinery capacity per incidentDamaged insulation exacerbates CUI and heat loss, forcing unplanned unit shutdowns that idle equipment and reduce throughput in onshore oil facilities. This is compounded by regulatory needs for energy efficiency and safety upgrades on aging infrastructure.
