“…And a study by Tang et al (2022) modeled CO 2 mitigation from several local industries to explore an optimal emission reduction by integrating regional differences. Meanwhile, study specifically in the system dynamic model for petrochemical industry conducted by Farashah et al (2021) who developed system dynamic model that describes the formulation of petrochemical industry capacity expansion. This study covers the model from budget creation and production capacity expansion to revenue creation of petrochemical products.…”

Purpose This paper aims to identify all variables and parameters related to business and emission within the petrochemical industry. The variables and parameters specified will be modeled into a system dynamic model that will be a baseline for the proposed best scenario(s) to address the business issue related to emission reduction in the petrochemical industry. Design/methodology/approach Literature review and stakeholder interviews were conducted to define the key factors contributing to the emission reduction of the petrochemical industry. The key factors are then developed into a system dynamic model to measure the quantitative impact of changes in those variables on emission and industry profitability. Findings This paper provides an analysis of system dynamic model. It suggests that process optimization can lead to a slight amount reduction in emissions. In contrast, a significant reduction shows in the simulation result of bio-based feedstock utilization and implementation of advanced technology. To sustain the emission reduction, strong commitment from stakeholders and support from the government will play an important role. Research limitations/implications This research is limited to problem analysis of the primary product (high-value chemical) of the petrochemical industry by only considering the changes in the key factors of emission reduction. Practical implications This paper includes implications for interventions that can be imposed to reduce emission while retaining the business profitability. Originality/value The contribution of this study is to find the best scenario that can boost emission reduction within Indonesia’s petrochemical industry.

As a highly energy-intensive and carbon-emitting industry with significant emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the petroleum and chemical industry is a major contributor to global greenhouse effect and ozone layer destruction. Improper treatment of petrochemical waste gas (PWG) seriously harms human health and the natural environment. This study uses CiteSpace and VOSviewer to conduct a scientometric analysis of 1384 scholarly works on PWG and carbon sequestration published between 1981 and 2022, revealing the basic characteristics, knowledge base, research topic evolution, and research hotspots of the field. The results show: 1) In the early stages of the petrochemical industry, it was combustion flue gas, not process tail gas or plant leakage waste gas, that was given the top priority in PWG research. 2) Later, researchers studied the emission model of PWG (such as VOCs) and the treatment and recovery technology of PWG (condensation, pyrolysis, membrane separation, and adsorption methods). Pyrolysis is one of the main treatment methods for PWG at present, but insufficient combustion may lead to secondary pollution. 3) In recent years, research has centered on using new energy to replace fossil energy to reduce the PWG and carbon emissions of the petrochemical industry in the context of the Paris Agreement, and the number of publications related to this topic has increased rapidly. The results of our analysis can provide funding agencies and research groups with information to better understand the global trends and directions that have emerged in this field from 1981 to 2022 and serve as a reference for future research.

Foam extinguishing agents are the most effective extinguishing agents for liquid fires. The search of relevant domestic and foreign commercial foam fire extinguishing agent patents found that most commercial foam fire extinguishing agent formulations contain urea. In order to understand the mechanism of urea’s influence and clarify the application parameters of urea-added aqueous foam in the fire extinguishing process, this research investigated the surface tension, foaming ability, foam stability, and fire extinguishing performance for alkyl polyglucoside and alkyl polyglucoside/urea foams. It is found that the addition of urea promotes the formation of surfactant micelles, resulting in a decrease in critical micelle concentration, while the surface tension and foaming ability of the alkyl polyglucoside solution are only moderately affected by the urea. Besides, urea significantly improves the fire extinguishing performance of alkyl polyglucoside foam and the influence of urea concentration on fire extinguishing time is remarkable. On the one hand, the enhanced extinguishing performance can be explained by the increase of foam stability. On the other hand, urea produces incombustible gases such as NH3 and CO2 under the action of the high temperature of the fire, which may improve the fire extinguishing performance by cooling effect and asphyxiation effect. The increase in expansion ratio and the foam flow rate are beneficial to shorten the extinguishing time. The research results can guide the design of foam extinguishing agents.
