Resonac Oita, KK Oita

Resonac Oita, KK Oita is a petrochemical in Japan with a reported capacity of 618,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Resonac . By capacity it ranks #3 of 12 petrochemical plants tracked in Japan. It emits about 868,888 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 202,538 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-731958.

在上下文中：该设施如何比较

在618,000 t of ethylene时，Resonac Oita, KK Oita 是Japan中petrochemical的中位数远高于 493,000 t of ethylene。 子部门：petrochemical-steam-cracking。 作为petrochemical，它需要强烈的工艺热量（通常300–800°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。 石化厂在非常高的温度下裂化烃，生产乙烯、丙烯和其他基础化学品——是最热强度密集的工业过程之一。

容量和CO₂强度比较从Climate TRACE工业设施数据计算得出；部门角色基于工程参考。
