COL-Cartagena de Indias_ammonia

COL-Cartagena de Indias_ammonia is a chemical plant in Colombia with a reported capacity of 192,024 t of chemical. It manufactures industrial and specialty chemicals. It emits about 389,944 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 90,896 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-33998989.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 192,024 t of chemical, COL-Cartagena de Indias_ammonia è attorno a la mediana di chemical plant in Colombia (192,024 t of chemical). Sottosettore: chemicals. Come chemical plant, richiede calore di processo intenso (tipicamente 100–500°C) per le sue operazioni industriali essenziali — calore che deve essere fornito da caldaie, forni o combustione diretta, e le perdite attraverso recipienti e tubazioni non isolati rappresentano carburante sprecato. L'isolamento modulare removibile può ridurre queste perdite dell'80–96%, raffreddando superfici a ≤45°C, con payback spesso inferiore a 2 anni. Gli impianti chimici producono un'ampia gamma di prodotti chimici industriali e specializzati, molti dei quali richiedono un controllo preciso della temperatura e un apporto termico sostenuto per reazioni e separazioni.
