في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 480,000 t of ethylene، يكون Maruzen Petrochemical, Chiba حوالي متوسط petrochemical في Japan (493,000 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.
