PetrochemicalSaudi ArabiaCO₂ reported

Petro Rabigh, Rabigh, is a petrochemical in Saudi Arabia with a reported capacity of 1,600,000 t of ethylene. It cracks hydrocarbon feedstocks into building-block chemicals such as ethylene and propylene. It is operated by Saudi Arabian Oil Co. By capacity it ranks #3 of 13 petrochemical plants tracked in Saudi Arabia. It emits about 2,316,872 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 540,063 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 8% above the median petrochemical.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 1,600,000 t of ethylene Petro Rabigh, Rabigh, — це приблизно медіана petrochemical у Saudi Arabia (1,450,000 t of ethylene). Його викидання CO₂ на одиницю потужності приблизно на 6% вище медіани petrochemical. Підсектор: petrochemical-steam-cracking. Як petrochemical, воно вимагає високотемпературного технологічного тепла (зазвичай 300–800°C) для основних промислових операцій — тепла, яке повинне подаватися котлами, печами або прямим спаленням, і втрати через неізольовані судини та трубопроводи представляють витрачене напразно паливо. Знімна модульна теплоізоляція може зменшити ці втрати на 80–96%, охолодивши поверхню обладнання до ≤45°C, з окупністю часто менше 2 років. Нафтохімічні заводи крекують вуглеводні при дуже високих температурах для виробництва етилену, пропілену та інших базових хімікатів — один із найбільш теплоємних промислових процесів.

Порівняння продуктивності та інтенсивності CO₂ розраховано на основі даних промислових об'єктів Climate TRACE; роль сектору заснована на інженерних довідниках.
