Tata Chemicals Europe - Lostock Soda Ash Plant

Tata Chemicals Europe - Lostock Soda Ash Plant is a chemical plant in United Kingdom with a reported capacity of 181,440 t of chemical. It manufactures industrial and specialty chemicals. It is operated by Tata Chemicals Europe Ltd. By capacity it ranks #4 of 4 chemical plants tracked in United Kingdom. It emits about 52,946 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 12,342 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-45257189.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 181,440 t of chemical, Tata Chemicals Europe - Lostock Soda Ash Plant est en dessous de la médiane des chemical plant en United Kingdom (566,990 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.
