Over the last few years, green has come to mean environmentally friendly. A green solution is often more energy-efficient or natural or safe. But before global climate change was at the forefront of many people’s mind, green used to refer to money. Fortunately, when it comes to investing in insulation, you benefit from increased efficiency and a healthier bottom line.
Invest in Less Downtime.
We’ve worked with many power stations and industry leaders over the past couple decades, and if there’s one thing nearly everyone in industry agrees on it’s that unscheduled downtime is hugely expensive. Hundred of thousands of dollars can be lost every day that downtime stretches on, but insulation can help prevent these catastrophic problems. Proper insulation means your vital machinery works less hard. Your machinery will run more efficiently and unnecessary wear and tear is avoided. This saves money on repairs, maintenance, downtime, and more.
Be Seen as Green.
Expertly used insulations means higher efficiency, so you can waste less energy transporting oil and other fluids. These doesn’t just save you money on your energy bill, it also helps you to be viewed as a company that takes the environment seriously. Insulation is one of the best investments. Not only is it incredibly cost effective, but the savings and benefits mean insulation usually pays for itself in just a couple years. Reduced downtime, less energy waste, extended lifespan for your machinery — these all add up.
This is Alberta, and oil and gas are a major part of our industry. That’s not going away anytime soon, and it probably shouldn’t. But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t strive to make this industry as environmental friendly and as energy efficient as possible. Investing in insulation can help your company to operate more smoothly and greenly.
