Haldia Petrochemicals, Haldia, West Bengal

Haldia Petrochemicals, Haldia, West Bengal is a petrochemical in India with a reported capacity of 700,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Haldia Petrochemicals Ltd. By capacity it ranks #7 of 11 petrochemical plants tracked in India. It emits about 1,510,709 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 352,147 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 61% above the median petrochemical.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731940.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 700,000 t of ethylene, Haldia Petrochemicals, Haldia, West Bengal è attorno a la mediana di petrochemical in India (800,000 t of ethylene). Il suo CO₂ per unità di capacità è approssimativamente 63% al di sopra di la mediana di petrochemical. Sottosettore: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Come petrochemical, richiede calore di processo intenso (tipicamente 300–800°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 petrolchimici scindono gli idrocarburi a temperature molto elevate per produrre etilene, propilene e altri prodotti chimici di base — uno dei processi industriali più intensivi dal punto di vista termico.
