BASF/Total, Port Arthur, Tex. is a petrochemical in United States with a reported capacity of 1,140,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by TotalEnergies SE. By capacity it ranks #15 of 34 petrochemical plants tracked in United States. It emits about 1,544,872 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 360,110 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-18648307.
На мощности 1,140,000 t of ethylene BASF/Total, Port Arthur, Tex. — это примерно медианная petrochemical в United States (1,000,000 t of ethylene). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 7% выше медианной petrochemical. Подсектор: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Как petrochemical, оно требует высокотемпературного технологического тепла (обычно 300–800°C) для основных промышленных операций — тепла, которое должно подаваться котлами, печами или прямым сжиганием, и потери через неизолированные сосуды и трубопроводы представляют потраченное впустую топливо. Съёмная модульная теплоизоляция может снизить эти потери на 80–96%, охладив поверхность оборудования до ≤45°C, с окупаемостью часто менее 2 лет. Нефтехимические заводы крекируют углеводороды при очень высоких температурах для производства этилена, пропилена и других базовых химикатов — один из самых теплоёмких промышленных процессов.
Сравнение производительности и интенсивности CO₂ рассчитано на основе данных промышленных объектов Climate TRACE; роль сектора основана на инженерных справочниках.
