В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 1,825,000 t of ethylene Dow Chemical Co. , Terneuzen (No. 1) — это значительно выше медианная petrochemical в Netherlands (1,310,000 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.
