SP Chemicals, Jiangsu, Taizhou

SP Chemicals, Jiangsu, Taizhou is a petrochemical in China with a reported capacity of 650,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by SPChemicals . By capacity it ranks #32 of 41 petrochemical plants tracked in China. It emits about 704,596 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 164,241 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 19% below the median petrochemical.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-18648403.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 650,000 t of ethylene ist SP Chemicals, Jiangsu, Taizhou unter dem Medianwert von petrochemical in China (1,000,000 t of ethylene). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 37% unter 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.
