Borouge Abu Dhabi Polymers Co. Ltd. , Ruwais,Abu Dhabi

Borouge Abu Dhabi Polymers Co. Ltd. , Ruwais,Abu Dhabi is a petrochemical in United Arab Emirates with a reported capacity of 3,500,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. It emits about 4,562,196 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,063,449 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731938.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 3,500,000 t of ethylene, Borouge Abu Dhabi Polymers Co. Ltd. , Ruwais,Abu Dhabi è attorno a la mediana di petrochemical in United Arab Emirates (3,500,000 t of ethylene). Sottosettore: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Come petrochemical, richiede calore di processo intenso (tipicamente 300–800°C) per le sue operazioni industriali essenziali — calore che deve essere fornito da caldaie, forni o combustione diretta, e le perdite attraverso recipienti e tubazioni non isolati rappresentano carburante sprecato. L'isolamento modulare removibile può ridurre queste perdite dell'80–96%, raffreddando superfici a ≤45°C, con payback spesso inferiore a 2 anni. Gli impianti petrolchimici scindono gli idrocarburi a temperature molto elevate per produrre etilene, propilene e altri prodotti chimici di base — uno dei processi industriali più intensivi dal punto di vista termico.
