CALGON CARBON CORP

CALGON CARBON CORP is a chemical plant in United States with a reported capacity of 1 unitless. It manufactures industrial and specialty chemicals. By capacity it ranks #293 of 453 chemical plants tracked in United States. It emits about 43,545 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 10,150 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 3606% above the median chemical plant.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3674474.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

1 unitless'de, CALGON CARBON CORP United States'daki chemical plant'lerin medyanı yaklaşık 1 unitless'dir. Kapasite başına CO₂'si chemical plant'nin medyanı altında kabaca 24%'dir. Alt sektör: other-chemicals. chemical plant olarak, temel endüstriyel işlemleri için yoğun proses ısısı (tipik olarak 100–500°C) gerektirir — kazanlar, fırınlar veya doğrudan yanma ile sağlanması gereken ısı, ve izolasyon yapılmamış kaplar ve boruların kayıpları harcanan yakıtı temsil eder. Modüler çıkarılabilir yalıtım bu kayıpları %80–96 oranında azaltabilir, yüzeyleri ≤45°C'ye soğutabilir, geri ödeme süresi genellikle 2 yıldan azdır. Kimya fabrikaları çok çeşitli endüstriyel ve özel kimyasallar üretir; pek çoğu reaksiyonlar ve ayırımlar için hassas sıcaklık kontrolü ve sürdürülen ısı girdisi gerektirir.

Kapasite ve CO₂ yoğunluğu karşılaştırması Climate TRACE endüstriyel tesis verilerinden hesaplanmıştır; sektör rolü mühendislik referansına dayanmaktadır.
