在上下文中:该设施如何比较

在1,570,000 t of chemical时,Brunsbüttel是Germany中chemical plant的中位数远高于 600,000 t of chemical。 子部门:chemicals。 作为chemical plant,它需要强烈的工艺热量(通常100–500°C)来进行其核心工业操作——必须通过锅炉、炉或直接燃烧供应的热量,通过未隔热的容器和管道的损失代表浪费的燃料。可拆卸模块化绝缘可以将这些损失减少80-96%,将表面冷却至≤45°C,投资回收期通常不到2年。 化学厂生产范围广泛的工业和专用化学品,许多需要精确的温度控制和持续的热输入来进行反应和分离。
