Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 1 unitless, KRATON CHEMICAL è attorno a la mediana di chemical plant in United States (1 unitless). Il suo CO₂ per unità di capacità è approssimativamente 19% al di sopra di la mediana di chemical plant. Sottosettore: other-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.
