Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-40691241.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

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.
