Yichang (Xiaoting) Fertilizers

Yichang (Xiaoting) Fertilizers is a chemical plant in China with a reported capacity of 660,000 t of chemical. It manufactures industrial and specialty chemicals. It is operated by Hubei Yihua Chemical Industry Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #59 of 157 chemical plants tracked in China. It emits about 1,780,919 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 415,133 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-45257217.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 660,000 t of chemical, Yichang (Xiaoting) Fertilizers est bien au-dessus de la médiane des chemical plant en China (483,735 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.
