PetrochemicalSouth AfricaCO₂ reported
Sasol Polymers Secunda, Secunda is a petrochemical in South Africa with a reported capacity of 525,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. By capacity it ranks #1 of 2 petrochemical plants tracked in South Africa. It emits about 1,151,305 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 268,369 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 63% above the median petrochemical.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-732018.
На мощности 525,000 t of ethylene Sasol Polymers Secunda, Secunda — это примерно медианная petrochemical в South Africa (525,000 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.
