Abu Qir Fertilizer Complex

Abu Qir Fertilizer Complex is a chemical plant in Egypt with a reported capacity of 2,200,000 t of chemical. It manufactures industrial and specialty chemicals. It is operated by Abu Qir Fertilizers and Chemical Industries Co SAE. By capacity it ranks #1 of 9 chemical plants tracked in Egypt. It emits about 3,605,693 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 840,488 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-45257029.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 2,200,000 t of chemical, Abu Qir Fertilizer Complex est bien au-dessus de la médiane des chemical plant en Egypt (638,750 t of chemical). Sous-secteur: chemicals. Comme chemical plant, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 100–500°C) pour ses opérations industrielles essentielles — chaleur qui doit être fournie par des chaudières, fours ou combustion directe, et les pertes par les récipients et tuyauteries non isolés représentent du combustible gaspillé. L'isolation modulaire amovible peut réduire ces pertes de 80–96%, refroidissant les surfaces à ≤45°C, avec des délais d'amortissement souvent inférieurs à 2 ans. Les usines chimiques produisent une large gamme de produits chimiques industriels et spécialisés, beaucoup nécessitant un contrôle précis de la température et un apport de chaleur soutenu pour les réactions et séparations.
