BASF CORP - PASADENA PLANT

BASF CORP - PASADENA PLANT is a chemical plant in United States with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It manufactures industrial and specialty chemicals. By capacity it ranks #272 of 453 chemical plants tracked in United States. It emits about 51,450 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 11,993 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 4279% above the median chemical plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3674454.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 1 unitless, BASF CORP - PASADENA PLANT é em torno de a mediana de chemical plant em United States (1 unitless). Seu CO₂ por unidade de capacidade é aproximadamente 11% abaixo de a mediana de chemical plant. Subsetor: other-chemicals. Como chemical plant, requer calor de processo intenso (tipicamente 100–500°C) para suas operações industriais centrais — calor que deve ser fornecido por caldeiras, fornos ou combustão direta, e as perdas através de vasos e tubulações não isolados representam combustível desperdiçado. O isolamento modular removível pode reduzir essas perdas em 80–96%, esfriando superfícies a ≤45°C, com payback geralmente inferior a 2 anos. As plantas químicas produzem uma ampla gama de produtos químicos industriais e especializados, muitos requerendo controle preciso de temperatura e entrada de calor sustentada para reações e separações.
