Petrochemical in Brazil. Approximate location -12.65882, -38.31958.

PetrochemicalBrazilCO₂ reported

Braskem Camacari Complex, Camacari,Bahia is a petrochemical in Brazil with a reported capacity of 1,280,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. By capacity it ranks #1 of 4 petrochemical plants tracked in Brazil. It emits about 1,851,240 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 431,524 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 8% above the median petrochemical.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 1,280,000 t of ethylene Braskem Camacari Complex, Camacari,Bahia — это примерно медианная petrochemical в Brazil (1,252,000 t of ethylene). 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.
