The Challenge
Petkim Petrochemical Holding A.S., the largest petrochemical complex in Turkey, initiated a long-term project plan for measuring and managing its GHG emissions in May 2010. The first phase of this plan included responding to the global Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) survey. In addition, the company plans to issue its first full sustainability report in 2011, as well as identifying climate change risks and opportunities through GHG accounting, staff training, forecasting and renewable energy projects.
About The Customer
Petkim Petrochemical Holding A.S. is a major producer of basic and intermediate petrochemical raw materials with a total core production capacity of 1,916,000 tons. Established in 1965, Petkim is the largest petrochemical complex in Turkey with 14 plants and 17 product lines with 7 auxiliary plants. The company’s share in the domestic market is more than 25% and it competes with Chevron and ExxonMobil internationally. The petrochemicals sector is amongst the most energy-intensive sectors, with up to 70% of the total energy cost coming from production. The sector has become more competitive due to global demands for less carbon-intensive products.
The Solution
In partnership with Gaia Carbon Management, Ecometrica implemented the Our Impacts platform to measure, calculate and report Petkim’s 2009 GHG emissions for disclosure to the CDP. Ecometrica’s expert analysts assisted Petkim with their data gathering, while Gaia worked alongside Petkim to make strong emissions reduction and energy efficiency recommendations based on the Our Impacts reports.

Advanced Elastomer Systems Upgrades Production
In order to maintain its share of the international market for thermoplastic elastomers AES recently expanded its Florida plant by adding a new production line. While the existing lines were operating satisfactorily using a PROVOX distributed control system with traditional analog I/O, AES wanted advanced technology on the new line for greater economy, efficiency, and reliability. AES officials were anxious to get this line into production to meet incoming orders, but two hurricanes slowed construction.

Field Device Asset Management For Chemical Company in China
Chinese chemical subsidiary of multinational corporation serves customers throughout the world. Sales offices and research and technology centers are strategically located to provide rapid response to customer requests. Just two workers were assigned to maintain thousands of intelligent instruments in three production units, so they could do little more than react to device issues as they appeared. This costly maintenance method inevitably led to unexpected downtime when a critical instrument failed. Plant management recognized the need to change from reactive to predictive maintenance for all assets, including instruments and control valves, but help was needed in implementing such a technology-based initiative.
