PetrochemicalJapanCO₂ reported
Asahi Kasei Mitsubishi Chemical Ethylene Corp, Kurasiki, Okayama is a petrochemical in Japan with a reported capacity of 496,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Mitsubishi Chemical Corp. By capacity it ranks #5 of 12 petrochemical plants tracked in Japan. It emits about 697,360 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 162,555 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 5% above the median petrochemical.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731949.
При потужності 496,000 t of ethylene Asahi Kasei Mitsubishi Chemical Ethylene Corp, Kurasiki, Okayama — це приблизно медіана petrochemical у Japan (493,000 t of ethylene). Підсектор: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Як petrochemical, воно вимагає високотемпературного технологічного тепла (зазвичай 300–800°C) для основних промислових операцій — тепла, яке повинне подаватися котлами, печами або прямим спаленням, і втрати через неізольовані судини та трубопроводи представляють витрачене напразно паливо. Знімна модульна теплоізоляція може зменшити ці втрати на 80–96%, охолодивши поверхню обладнання до ≤45°C, з окупністю часто менше 2 років. Нафтохімічні заводи крекують вуглеводні при дуже високих температурах для виробництва етилену, пропілену та інших базових хімікатів — один із найбільш теплоємних промислових процесів.
Порівняння продуктивності та інтенсивності CO₂ розраховано на основі даних промислових об'єктів Climate TRACE; роль сектору заснована на інженерних довідниках.
