في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 77,340 t of chemical، يكون MYS-Kuala Muda_methanol أقل من متوسط chemical plant في Malaysia (2,281,500 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.
