У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 1,860,000 t of ethylene LyondellBasell Industries, Channelview,Tex. — це значно вище медіана petrochemical у United States (1,000,000 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.
