Liwa Plastics Industries Complex (LPIC) EPC1, Sohar,

Liwa Plastics Industries Complex (LPIC) EPC1, Sohar, is a petrochemical in Oman with a reported capacity of 880,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It emits about 1,235,663 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 288,033 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731921.

文脈内で：この施設がどのように比較されるか

880,000 t of ethyleneで、Liwa Plastics Industries Complex (LPIC) EPC1, Sohar,はOmanのpetrochemicalの中央値約 880,000 t of ethyleneです。 サブセクター：petrochemical-steam-cracking。 petrochemicalとして、その中核的な産業操業に対して激しいプロセス熱（通常300–800°C）が必要です。この熱はボイラー、炉、または直接燃焼によって供給される必要があり、未断熱容器および配管からの損失は無駄な燃料を表します。モジュール式脱着可能な断熱は、これらの損失を80～96%削減でき、表面を≤45°Cに冷却でき、回収期間は通常2年未満です。 石油化学プラントは、エチレン、プロピレンおよび他の基本化学物質を製造するために、非常に高い温度で炭化水素をクラッキングします。最も熱集約的な産業プロセスの1つです。

容量およびCO₂強度の比較はClimate TRACEの産業施設データから計算されました。セクターの役割は工学リファレンスに基づいています。
