Amir Kabir Petrochemical Co. (6th Olefin complex), Bandar Imam Khommeini,Khuzekstan

Amir Kabir Petrochemical Co. (6th Olefin complex), Bandar Imam Khommeini,Khuzekstan is a petrochemical in Iran with a reported capacity of 520,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by natural person(s) . By capacity it ranks #7 of 11 petrochemical plants tracked in Iran. It emits about 730,164 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 170,201 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731907.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 520,000 t of ethylene, Amir Kabir Petrochemical Co. (6th Olefin complex), Bandar Imam Khommeini,Khuzekstan está alrededor de la mediana de petrochemical en Iran (565,000 t of ethylene). Su CO₂ por unidad de capacidad es aproximadamente 8% por encima de la mediana de petrochemical. Subsector: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Como petrochemical, requiere calor de proceso intenso (típicamente 300–800°C) para sus operaciones industriales centrales — calor que debe ser suministrado por calderas, hornos o combustión directa, y las pérdidas a través de recipientes y tuberías sin aislar representan combustible desperdiciado. El aislamiento modular desmontable puede reducir esas pérdidas en un 80–96%, enfriando superficies a ≤45°C, con amortización a menudo inferior a 2 años. Las plantas petroquímicas agrietan hidrocarburos a temperaturas muy altas para producir etileno, propileno y otros químicos básicos — uno de los procesos industriales más intensivos en calor.
