Zhejiang Petroleum & Chemical, Zhejiang, Zhoushan

Zhejiang Petroleum & Chemical, Zhejiang, Zhoushan is a petrochemical in China with a reported capacity of 4,200,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Zhejiang Petroleum & Chemical Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #1 of 41 petrochemical plants tracked in China. It emits about 6,803,536 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,585,906 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 21% above the median petrochemical.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-18648409.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 4,200,000 t of ethylene, Zhejiang Petroleum & Chemical, Zhejiang, Zhoushan è ben al di sopra di la mediana di petrochemical in China (1,000,000 t of ethylene). Il suo CO₂ per unità di capacità è approssimativamente 5% al di sotto 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.
