Petrochina Dushanzi Petrochemical, Xinjiang, Dushanzi

Petrochina Dushanzi Petrochemical, Xinjiang, Dushanzi is a petrochemical in China with a reported capacity of 2,000,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. By capacity it ranks #5 of 41 petrochemical plants tracked in China. It emits about 3,419,707 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 797,134 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 27% above the median petrochemical.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-18648389.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 2,000,000 t of ethylene, Petrochina Dushanzi Petrochemical, Xinjiang, Dushanzi é bem acima de a mediana de petrochemical em China (1,000,000 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.
