INEOS , Dormagen

INEOS , Dormagen is a petrochemical in Germany with a reported capacity of 1,155,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by INEOS AG. By capacity it ranks #1 of 9 petrochemical plants tracked in Germany. It emits about 1,696,769 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 395,517 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 9% above the median petrochemical.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-18648355.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

1,155,000 t of ethylene'de, INEOS , Dormagen Germany'daki petrochemical'lerin medyanı çok üstünde 565,000 t of ethylene'dir. Kapasite başına CO₂'si petrochemical'nin medyanı üstünde kabaca 13%'dir. Alt sektör: petrochemical-steam-cracking. petrochemical olarak, temel endüstriyel işlemleri için yoğun proses ısısı (tipik olarak 300–800°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. Petrokimya tesisleri, etilen, propilen ve diğer temel kimyasalları üretmek için hidrokarbonları çok yüksek sıcaklıklarda kraker — en ısı yoğun endüstriyel işlemlerden biridir.

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