Jubail Chevron Phillips Company (JCP), Al Jubail,

Jubail Chevron Phillips Company (JCP), Al Jubail, is a petrochemical in Saudi Arabia with a reported capacity of 230,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Chevron Phillips . By capacity it ranks #13 of 13 petrochemical plants tracked in Saudi Arabia. It emits about 309,171 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 72,068 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731927.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 230,000 t of ethylene ist Jubail Chevron Phillips Company (JCP), Al Jubail, unter dem Medianwert von petrochemical in Saudi Arabia (1,450,000 t of ethylene). Untersektor: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Als petrochemical benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 300–800°C) für seinen Kernbetrieb — Wärme, die durch Dampfkessel, Öfen oder direkte Verbrennung geliefert werden muss, und Verluste durch ungedämmte Behälter und Rohrleitungen stellen verschwendeten Brennstoff dar. Modulare abnehmbare Dämmung kann diese Verluste um 80–96% senken, Oberflächen auf ≤45°C kühlen, mit Amortisationszeiten oft unter 2 Jahren. Petrochemische Anlagen spalten Kohlenwasserstoffe bei sehr hohen Temperaturen auf, um Ethylen, Propylen und andere Basischemikalien zu erzeugen — einer der wärmeintensivsien Industrieprozesse.
