PetrochemicalGermanyCO₂ reported
Basell Polyfine GMBH , Wesseling is a petrochemical in Germany with a reported capacity of 1,040,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by LyondellBasell Industries NV. By capacity it ranks #3 of 9 petrochemical plants tracked in Germany. It emits about 1,527,827 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 356,137 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 9% above the median petrochemical.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-18648352.
Przy 1,040,000 t of ethylene, Basell Polyfine GMBH , Wesseling jest znacznie powyżej medianę petrochemical w Germany (565,000 t of ethylene). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 13% powyżej medianę petrochemical. Podsektor: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Jako petrochemical, wymaga intensywnego ciepła procesowego (typowo 300–800°C) do swoich głównych operacji przemysłowych — ciepła, które musi być dostarczane przez kotły, piece lub spalanie bezpośrednie, a straty przez nieisolowane zbiorniki i rury stanowią zmarnowane paliwo. Modułowa izolacja demontowalna może zmniejszyć te straty o 80–96%, chłodząc powierzchnie do ≤45°C, z zwrotem inwestycji często poniżej 2 lat. Zakłady petrochemiczne krają węglowodory w bardzo wysokich temperaturach, aby produkować etylen, propylen i inne chemikalia podstawowe — jeden z najbardziej termochłonnych procesów przemysłowych.
