PetrochemicalTaiwanCO₂ reported
Formosa Petrochemical Corp. , Taiwan, Mailiao is a petrochemical in Taiwan with a reported capacity of 2,242,500 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Formosa Plastics Corp. By capacity it ranks #1 of 2 petrochemical plants tracked in Taiwan. It emits about 3,750,374 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 874,213 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 24% above the median petrochemical.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-18648400.
عند 2,242,500 t of ethylene، يكون Formosa Petrochemical Corp. , Taiwan, Mailiao حوالي متوسط petrochemical في Taiwan (2,242,500 t of ethylene). القطاع الفرعي: petrochemical-steam-cracking. كـ petrochemical، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 300–800°C) لعملياته الصناعية الأساسية — حرارة يجب توفيرها بواسطة الغلايات أو الأفران أو الاحتراق المباشر، والخسائر من خلال الحاويات والأنابيب غير المعزولة تمثل وقود مهدر. يمكن للعزل المعياري القابل للإزالة أن يقلل هذه الخسائر بمقدار 80-96٪، وتبريد الأسطح إلى ≤45°C، مع فترة استرجاع غالباً أقل من سنتين. تقوم مصافي البتروكيماويات بتكسير الهيدروكربونات عند درجات حرارة عالية جداً لإنتاج الإثيلين والبروبيلين والمواد الكيميائية الأساسية الأخرى — أحد أكثر العمليات الصناعية كثافة في الحرارة.
مقارنة السعة وكثافة CO₂ محسوبة من بيانات منشآت Climate TRACE الصناعية؛ دور القطاع بناءً على مرجع الهندسة.
