PetrochemicalSouth KoreaCO₂ reported
LG Petrochemical Yeosu, Yeochun is a petrochemical in South Korea with a reported capacity of 2,000,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by LG Chemical . By capacity it ranks #2 of 11 petrochemical plants tracked in South Korea. It emits about 2,712,425 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 632,267 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731970.
На мощности 2,000,000 t of ethylene LG Petrochemical Yeosu, Yeochun — это значительно выше медианная petrochemical в South Korea (1,230,000 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.
