Haldia Petrochemicals, Haldia, West Bengal

Haldia Petrochemicals, Haldia, West Bengal is a petrochemical in India with a reported capacity of 700,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Haldia Petrochemicals Ltd. By capacity it ranks #7 of 11 petrochemical plants tracked in India. It emits about 1,510,709 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 352,147 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 61% above the median petrochemical.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731940.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 700,000 t of ethylene ist Haldia Petrochemicals, Haldia, West Bengal etwa um dem Medianwert von petrochemical in India (800,000 t of ethylene). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 63% über dem Medianwert von petrochemical. Untersektor: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Als petrochemical benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 300–800°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. Petrochemische Anlagen spalten Kohlenwasserstoffe bei sehr hohen Temperaturen auf, um Ethylen, Propylen und andere Basischemikalien zu erzeugen — einer der wärmeintensivsien Industrieprozesse.
