PetrochemicalGermanyCO₂ reported

INEOS , Dormagen is a petrochemical in Germany with a reported capacity of 1,155,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by INEOS AG. By capacity it ranks #1 of 9 petrochemical plants tracked in Germany. It emits about 1,696,769 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 395,517 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 9% above the median petrochemical.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 1,155,000 t of ethylene, INEOS , Dormagen 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.
