PetrochemicalBelgiumCO₂ reported
BASF Antwerpen, NV Antwerp is a petrochemical in Belgium with a reported capacity of 1,080,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by BASF SE. By capacity it ranks #2 of 2 petrochemical plants tracked in Belgium. It emits about 1,409,392 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 328,530 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-18648342.
À 1,080,000 t of ethylene, BASF Antwerpen, NV Antwerp est autour de la médiane des petrochemical en Belgium (1,160,000 t of ethylene). Sous-secteur: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Comme petrochemical, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 300–800°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 pétrochimiques craquent les hydrocarbures à des températures très élevées pour produire l'éthylène, le propylène et d'autres produits chimiques de base — l'un des processus industriels les plus intensifs en chaleur.
