PetrochemicalSwitzerlandCO₂ reported
Lonza Ltd. , Visp is a petrochemical in Switzerland with a reported capacity of 25,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It emits about 32,625 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 7,605 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-18648376.
Com 25,000 t of ethylene, Lonza Ltd. , Visp é em torno de a mediana de petrochemical em Switzerland (25,000 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.
