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.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 520,000 t of ethylene, Amir Kabir Petrochemical Co. (6th Olefin complex), Bandar Imam Khommeini,Khuzekstan é em torno de a mediana de petrochemical em Iran (565,000 t of ethylene). Seu CO₂ por unidade de capacidade é aproximadamente 8% acima de a mediana de petrochemical. Subsetor: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Como petrochemical, requer calor de processo intenso (tipicamente 300–800°C) para suas operações industriais centrais — calor que deve ser fornecido por caldeiras, fornos ou combustão direta, e as perdas através de vasos e tubulações não isolados representam combustível desperdiçado. O isolamento modular removível pode reduzir essas perdas em 80–96%, esfriando superfícies a ≤45°C, com payback geralmente inferior a 2 anos. As plantas petroquímicas craquean hidrocarbonetos em temperaturas muito altas para produzir etileno, propileno e outros produtos químicos básicos — um dos processos industriais mais intensivos em calor.
