Jubail United Petrochemical Co. , Al Jubail,

Jubail United Petrochemical Co. , Al Jubail, is a petrochemical in Saudi Arabia with a reported capacity of 1,450,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Saudi Basic Industries Corp. By capacity it ranks #7 of 13 petrochemical plants tracked in Saudi Arabia. It emits about 1,981,593 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 461,910 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731929.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 1,450,000 t of ethylene Jubail United Petrochemical Co. , Al Jubail, — это примерно медианная petrochemical в Saudi Arabia (1,450,000 t of ethylene). Подсектор: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Как petrochemical, оно требует высокотемпературного технологического тепла (обычно 300–800°C) для основных промышленных операций — тепла, которое должно подаваться котлами, печами или прямым сжиганием, и потери через неизолированные сосуды и трубопроводы представляют потраченное впустую топливо. Съёмная модульная теплоизоляция может снизить эти потери на 80–96%, охладив поверхность оборудования до ≤45°C, с окупаемостью часто менее 2 лет. Нефтехимические заводы крекируют углеводороды при очень высоких температурах для производства этилена, пропилена и других базовых химикатов — один из самых теплоёмких промышленных процессов.

Сравнение производительности и интенсивности CO₂ рассчитано на основе данных промышленных объектов Climate TRACE; роль сектора основана на инженерных справочниках.
