文脈内で:この施設がどのように比較されるか

1,129,704 t of chemicalで、BRA-Cubatão_ammoniaはBrazilのchemical plantの中央値約 1,129,704 t of chemicalです。 サブセクター:chemicals。 chemical plantとして、その中核的な産業操業に対して激しいプロセス熱(通常100–500°C)が必要です。この熱はボイラー、炉、または直接燃焼によって供給される必要があり、未断熱容器および配管からの損失は無駄な燃料を表します。モジュール式脱着可能な断熱は、これらの損失を80~96%削減でき、表面を≤45°Cに冷却でき、回収期間は通常2年未満です。 化学工場は、広範な工業および特殊化学物質を生産します。多くの物質は反応および分離のための正確な温度制御および持続された熱入力を必要とします。
