في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 1,500,000 t of chemical، يكون Linz Melamine and Fertilizers Complex حوالي متوسط chemical plant في Austria (1,500,000 t of chemical). القطاع الفرعي: chemicals. كـ chemical plant، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 100–500°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. تنتج مصانع الكيماويات مجموعة واسعة من المواد الكيميائية الصناعية والمتخصصة، والعديد منها يتطلب تحكماً دقيقاً بدرجة الحرارة وإدخالاً حرارياً مستدامأ للتفاعلات والفصل.
