Eastern Petrochemical Co. (SHARQ), Al Jubail, is a petrochemical in Saudi Arabia with a reported capacity of 1,825,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Saudi Basic Industries Corp. By capacity it ranks #2 of 13 petrochemical plants tracked in Saudi Arabia. It emits about 2,456,171 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 572,534 cars.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731928.
عند 1,825,000 t of ethylene، يكون Eastern Petrochemical Co. (SHARQ), Al Jubail, أعلى بكثير من متوسط petrochemical في Saudi Arabia (1,450,000 t of ethylene). القطاع الفرعي: petrochemical-steam-cracking. كـ petrochemical، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 300–800°C) لعملياته الصناعية الأساسية — حرارة يجب توفيرها بواسطة الغلايات أو الأفران أو الاحتراق المباشر، والخسائر من خلال الحاويات والأنابيب غير المعزولة تمثل وقود مهدر. يمكن للعزل المعياري القابل للإزالة أن يقلل هذه الخسائر بمقدار 80-96٪، وتبريد الأسطح إلى ≤45°C، مع فترة استرجاع غالباً أقل من سنتين. تقوم مصافي البتروكيماويات بتكسير الهيدروكربونات عند درجات حرارة عالية جداً لإنتاج الإثيلين والبروبيلين والمواد الكيميائية الأساسية الأخرى — أحد أكثر العمليات الصناعية كثافة في الحرارة.
مقارنة السعة وكثافة CO₂ محسوبة من بيانات منشآت Climate TRACE الصناعية؛ دور القطاع بناءً على مرجع الهندسة.
