En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 1 unitless, REFINERY KAPOLEI est autour de la médiane des chemical plant en United States (1 unitless). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 61% au-dessus de la médiane des chemical plant. Sous-secteur: other-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.
