Arabian Petrochemical Co. (Petrokemya North), Al Jubail,

Arabian Petrochemical Co. (Petrokemya North), Al Jubail, is a petrochemical in Saudi Arabia with a reported capacity of 1,200,000 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 #10 of 13 petrochemical plants tracked in Saudi Arabia. It emits about 1,651,410 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 384,944 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-731931.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

1,200,000 t of ethylene'de, Arabian Petrochemical Co. (Petrokemya North), Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia'daki petrochemical'lerin medyanı yaklaşık 1,450,000 t of ethylene'dir. Alt sektör: petrochemical-steam-cracking. petrochemical olarak, temel endüstriyel işlemleri için yoğun proses ısısı (tipik olarak 300–800°C) gerektirir — kazanlar, fırınlar veya doğrudan yanma ile sağlanması gereken ısı, ve izolasyon yapılmamış kaplar ve boruların kayıpları harcanan yakıtı temsil eder. Modüler çıkarılabilir yalıtım bu kayıpları %80–96 oranında azaltabilir, yüzeyleri ≤45°C'ye soğutabilir, geri ödeme süresi genellikle 2 yıldan azdır. Petrokimya tesisleri, etilen, propilen ve diğer temel kimyasalları üretmek için hidrokarbonları çok yüksek sıcaklıklarda kraker — en ısı yoğun endüstriyel işlemlerden biridir.

Kapasite ve CO₂ yoğunluğu karşılaştırması Climate TRACE endüstriyel tesis verilerinden hesaplanmıştır; sektör rolü mühendislik referansına dayanmaktadır.
