GAIL Pata Petrochemicals, Pata, Uttar Pradesh

GAIL Pata Petrochemicals, Pata, Uttar Pradesh is a petrochemical in India with a reported capacity of 950,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by GAIL Ltd. By capacity it ranks #4 of 11 petrochemical plants tracked in India. It emits about 1,247,573 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 290,810 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731939.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 950,000 t of ethylene, GAIL Pata Petrochemicals, Pata, Uttar Pradesh está alrededor de la mediana de petrochemical en India (800,000 t of ethylene). Subsector: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Como petrochemical, requiere calor de proceso intenso (típicamente 300–800°C) para sus operaciones industriales centrales — calor que debe ser suministrado por calderas, hornos o combustión directa, y las pérdidas a través de recipientes y tuberías sin aislar representan combustible desperdiciado. El aislamiento modular desmontable puede reducir esas pérdidas en un 80–96%, enfriando superficies a ≤45°C, con amortización a menudo inferior a 2 años. Las plantas petroquímicas agrietan hidrocarburos a temperaturas muy altas para producir etileno, propileno y otros químicos básicos — uno de los procesos industriales más intensivos en calor.
