Gubakha Methanol Facility

Gubakha Methanol Facility is a chemical plant in Russian Federation with a reported capacity of 308,000 t of chemical. It manufactures industrial and specialty chemicals. It is operated by Metafrax Chemicals . By capacity it ranks #30 of 39 chemical plants tracked in Russian Federation. It emits about 345,358 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 80,503 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 100% below the median chemical plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-45257099.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 308,000 t of chemical, Gubakha Methanol Facility está por debajo de la mediana de chemical plant en Russian Federation (620,328 t of chemical). Subsector: chemicals. Como chemical plant, requiere calor de proceso intenso (típicamente 100–500°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 químicas producen una amplia gama de químicos industriales y especializados, muchos requiriendo control preciso de temperatura e input de calor sostenido para reacciones y separaciones.
