ExxonMobil Chemical Jurong Island, Jurong Island

ExxonMobil Chemical Jurong Island, Jurong Island is a petrochemical in Singapore with a reported capacity of 1,900,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Exxon Mobil Corp. By capacity it ranks #1 of 3 petrochemical plants tracked in Singapore. It emits about 3,896,724 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 908,327 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 53% above the median petrochemical.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731965.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 1,900,000 t of ethylene, ExxonMobil Chemical Jurong Island, Jurong Island é bem acima de a mediana de petrochemical em Singapore (1,150,000 t of ethylene). Subsetor: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Como petrochemical, requer calor de processo intenso (tipicamente 300–800°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 petroquímicas craquean hidrocarbonetos em temperaturas muito altas para produzir etileno, propileno e outros produtos químicos básicos — um dos processos industriais mais intensivos em calor.
