Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

907,180 t of chemical'de, Golmud (Qarhan) Chemical Complex China'daki chemical plant'lerin medyanı çok üstünde 483,735 t of chemical'dir. Kapasite başına CO₂'si chemical plant'nin medyanı altında kabaca 88%'dir. Alt sektör: 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.
