In one building material factory an attempt has been made based on a thermography inspection study to estimate the energy loss due to heat leaks in autoclave lining.
According to the findings the calculation procedure has been made in order to evaluate the leakage costs and accordingly the annual loss due to leaks has been calculated.

Takeaways

1. Application of building thermography techniques in industry of building materials
2. Plant reliability and energy efficiency
3. Possible extra savings in an uncertain environment of high energy costs in an industry highly dependent on gas costs
