PetrochemicalUnited StatesCO₂ reported
BASF/Total, Port Arthur, Tex. is a petrochemical in United States with a reported capacity of 1,140,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by TotalEnergies SE. By capacity it ranks #15 of 34 petrochemical plants tracked in United States. It emits about 1,544,872 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 360,110 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-18648307.
Przy 1,140,000 t of ethylene, BASF/Total, Port Arthur, Tex. jest około medianę petrochemical w United States (1,000,000 t of ethylene). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 7% 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.
