IRPC Public Refinery and Petrochemical, Cherng Nern

IRPC Public Refinery and Petrochemical, Cherng Nern is a petrochemical in Thailand with a reported capacity of 433,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by IRPC PCL. By capacity it ranks #4 of 4 petrochemical plants tracked in Thailand. It emits about 888,043 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 207,003 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 53% above the median petrochemical.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731982.

文脈内で：この施設がどのように比較されるか

433,000 t of ethyleneで、IRPC Public Refinery and Petrochemical, Cherng Nern はThailandのpetrochemicalの中央値以下 1,200,000 t of ethyleneです。 サブセクター：petrochemical-steam-cracking。 petrochemical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300–800°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。 石油化学プラントは、エチレン、プロピレンおよび他の基本化学物質を製造するために、非常に高い温度で炭化水素をクラッキングします。最も熱集約的な産業プロセスの1つです。
