BAXTER HEALTHCARE SA / BAXTER HEALTHCARE OF PUERTO RICO

BAXTER HEALTHCARE SA / BAXTER HEALTHCARE OF PUERTO RICO is a chemical plant in Puerto Rico with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It manufactures industrial and specialty chemicals. By capacity it ranks #4 of 4 chemical plants tracked in Puerto Rico. It emits about 5,116 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,193 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 335% above the median chemical plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3674459.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 1 unitless ist BAXTER HEALTHCARE SA / BAXTER HEALTHCARE OF PUERTO RICO etwa um dem Medianwert von chemical plant in Puerto Rico (1 unitless). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 88% unter dem Medianwert von chemical plant. Untersektor: other-chemicals. Als chemical plant benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 100–500°C) für seinen Kernbetrieb — Wärme, die durch Dampfkessel, Öfen oder direkte Verbrennung geliefert werden muss, und Verluste durch ungedämmte Behälter und Rohrleitungen stellen verschwendeten Brennstoff dar. Modulare abnehmbare Dämmung kann diese Verluste um 80–96% senken, Oberflächen auf ≤45°C kühlen, mit Amortisationszeiten oft unter 2 Jahren. Chemieanlagen erzeugen eine breite Palette von Industrie- und Spezialchemikalien, viele erfordern präzise Temperaturkontrolle und nachhaltigen Wärmeeintrag für Reaktionen und Trennungen.
