En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 655,000 t of ethylene, Petroleos Mexicanos Morelos, Pajaritos,Veracruz est autour de la médiane des petrochemical en Mexico (690,000 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.
