PetrochemicalNetherlandsCO₂ reported

Dow Chemical Co. , Terneuzen (No. 1) is a petrochemical in Netherlands with a reported capacity of 1,825,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. By capacity it ranks #1 of 3 petrochemical plants tracked in Netherlands. It emits about 2,381,611 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 555,154 cars.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 1,825,000 t of ethylene, Dow Chemical Co. , Terneuzen (No. 1) est bien au-dessus de la médiane des petrochemical en Netherlands (1,310,000 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.
