W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 656,304 t of chemical, NGA-Obio/Akpor_methanol jest około medianę chemical plant w Nigeria (730,000 t of chemical). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 85% poniżej medianę chemical plant. Podsektor: chemicals. Jako chemical plant, wymaga intensywnego ciepła procesowego (typowo 100–500°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 chemiczne produkują szeroką gamę chemikaliów przemysłowych i specjalistycznych, wiele z nich wymagających precyzyjnej kontroli temperatury i utrzymanego wkładu ciepła do reakcji i separacji.
