Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 650,000 t of ethylene ist Noretyl AS, Rafnes, Bamble etwa um dem Medianwert von petrochemical in Norway (650,000 t of ethylene). 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.
