BASF/Total, Port Arthur, Tex. is a petrochemical in United States with a reported capacity of 1,140,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by TotalEnergies SE. By capacity it ranks #15 of 34 petrochemical plants tracked in United States. It emits about 1,544,872 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 360,110 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-18648307.
À 1,140,000 t of ethylene, BASF/Total, Port Arthur, Tex. est autour de la médiane des petrochemical en United States (1,000,000 t of ethylene). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 7% au-dessus de la médiane des petrochemical. 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.
