Lahore (Sheikhupura) Fertilizer Complex

Lahore (Sheikhupura) Fertilizer Complex is a chemical plant in Pakistan with a reported capacity of 404,150 t of chemical. It manufactures industrial and specialty chemicals. It is operated by Fatima Fertilizer Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #5 of 5 chemical plants tracked in Pakistan. It emits about 957,584 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 223,213 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-45257129.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 404,150 t of chemical, Lahore (Sheikhupura) Fertilizer Complex est en dessous de la médiane des chemical plant en Pakistan (635,000 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.
