PetrochemicalSouth KoreaCO₂ reported
LG Petrochemical Yeosu, Yeochun is a petrochemical in South Korea with a reported capacity of 2,000,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by LG Chemical . By capacity it ranks #2 of 11 petrochemical plants tracked in South Korea. It emits about 2,712,425 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 632,267 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731970.
Przy 2,000,000 t of ethylene, LG Petrochemical Yeosu, Yeochun jest znacznie powyżej medianę petrochemical w South Korea (1,230,000 t of ethylene). 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.
