Medicine Hat Nitrogen Fertilizer Complex

Medicine Hat Nitrogen Fertilizer Complex is a chemical plant in Canada with a reported capacity of 1,135,000 t of chemical. It manufactures industrial and specialty chemicals. It is operated by CF Industries Inc. By capacity it ranks #3 of 10 chemical plants tracked in Canada. It emits about 1,489,602 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 347,227 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-45257141.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

1,135,000 t of chemical'de, Medicine Hat Nitrogen Fertilizer Complex Canada'daki chemical plant'lerin medyanı çok üstünde 550,000 t of chemical'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.
