Sinopec Yanshan Petrochemical, Beijing, Yanshan

Sinopec Yanshan Petrochemical, Beijing, Yanshan is a petrochemical in China with a reported capacity of 860,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. By capacity it ranks #22 of 41 petrochemical plants tracked in China. It emits about 1,470,474 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 342,768 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 27% above the median petrochemical.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-18648391.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 860,000 t of ethylene, Sinopec Yanshan Petrochemical, Beijing, Yanshan est autour de la médiane des petrochemical en China (1,000,000 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.
