KRATON CHEMICAL

KRATON CHEMICAL is an other manufacturing in United States with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It runs heavy manufacturing processes (rubber, plastics and allied products). By capacity it ranks #56 of 338 manufacturing plants tracked in United States. It emits about 66,589 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 15,522 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 111% above the median other manufacturing.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3193505.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 1 unitless, KRATON CHEMICAL está alrededor de la mediana de other manufacturing en United States (1 unitless). Su CO₂ por unidad de capacidad es aproximadamente 92% por encima de la mediana de other manufacturing. Subsector: other-manufacturing. Como other manufacturing, requiere calor de proceso intenso (típicamente 100–600°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 instalaciones de manufactura pesada ejecutan una variedad de procesos intensivos en calor (caucho, plásticos, recipientes a presión); mantener el calor de proceso eficientemente es crítico para el control de costos.
