LOTTE Chemical replaces the insulation materials for Daesan Plant
to reduce heat loss and greenhouse gas.
■ The insulation materials for the pipeline at Daesan Plant replaced from pearlite to aerogel.
■ Expected to reduce greenhouse gas and waste and improve the work environment.
■ “We will replace the insulation materials for Daesan Plant to reduce heat loss to contribute to the climate crisis and
■ “We will replace the insulation materials for Daesan Plant to reduce heat loss to contribute to the climate crisis and
carbon neutralization,” said CEO Hwang Jin-koo of LOTTE Chemical’s Basic Materials Division.
LOTTE Chemical will replace the insulation materials for the pipeline at Daesan Plant from pearlite to Oryza Aerogel through optimal engineering.
The petrochemical plant shall maintain the pipeline at a constant temperature and Aerogel is an insulating material that has low heat conductivity and heat loss compared to pearlite and can be reused almost permanently.
LOTTE Chemical BU declared ‘Green Promise 2030,’ the eco-friendly objectives and ESG business strategies, last February and selected four key objectives: ‘to reinforce the eco-friendly businesses,’ ‘to expand the vital cycle of resources,’ ‘to respond to the climate crisis,’ and ‘to create a green ecosystem.’ The replacement of insulation materials is a part of the roadmap ‘to respond to the climate crisis.’
LOTTE Chemical has reduced heat loss from the pipeline and equipment by more than 40% to save on energy use and reduce greenhouse gas. Also, Aerogel has almost no waste when pearlite generated waste due to regular replacement and the pearlite waste being replaced will be recycled. The new Aerogel is dust-free even when removed to improve the work environment.
LOTTE Chemical and Beerenberg Korea entered an MOU last March and worked on detailed engineering for about five months since April. The findings of optimal engineering have been applied to Daesan SM Plnat since October.
