Long Son Petrochemicals, Ho Chi Minh City

Long Son Petrochemicals, Ho Chi Minh City is a petrochemical in Vietnam with a reported capacity of 1,002,740 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It emits about 1,109,686 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 258,668 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 18% below the median petrochemical.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-49545644.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 1,002,740 t of ethylene, Long Son Petrochemicals, Ho Chi Minh City é em torno de a mediana de petrochemical em Vietnam (1,002,740 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.
