Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company, Samara

Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company, Samara is a petrochemical in Russian Federation with a reported capacity of 182,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Rosneft PJSC. By capacity it ranks #10 of 11 petrochemical plants tracked in Russian Federation. It emits about 207,394 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 48,344 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 15% below the median petrochemical.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731989.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 182,000 t of ethylene, Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company, Samara est en dessous de la médiane des petrochemical en Russian Federation (420,000 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.
