Tuticorin Chemical Complex

Tuticorin Chemical Complex is a chemical plant in India with a reported capacity of 163,290 t of chemical. It manufactures industrial and specialty chemicals. It is operated by Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. By capacity it ranks #18 of 26 chemical plants tracked in India. It emits about 64,634 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 15,066 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 100% below the median chemical plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-45257200.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 163,290 t of chemical Tuticorin Chemical Complex — это ниже медианная chemical plant в India (544,500 t of chemical). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 84% ниже медианной chemical plant. Подсектор: chemicals. Как chemical plant, оно требует высокотемпературного технологического тепла (обычно 100–500°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. Химические заводы производят широкий спектр промышленных и специальных химикатов, многие из которых требуют точного контроля температуры и постоянного теплоснабжения для реакций и разделений.

Сравнение производительности и интенсивности CO₂ рассчитано на основе данных промышленных объектов Climate TRACE; роль сектора основана на инженерных справочниках.
