Material Loss

Similar to water intensity, our material loss intensity increased by 1.4% from 2020 while our absolute material loss volumes decreased by 2% over that same period. This was driven primarily by a 3.4% decrease in external sales vs. 2020 and an increase of 11% in flaring across all global affiliates.

KEY INITIATIVES AND RESULTS

IBN ZAHR, SAUDI ARABIA

Through Advanced Process Control PID Tuning, optimization of the temperature control values on the propylene interchanger resulted in increased propylene recovery in the system and a 63% reduction in flaring (600 MT). This had a positive impact on the Material Loss Intensity and Flaring KPIs.

BAY ST LOUIS, MISSISSIPPI, UNITED STATES

We reduced material loss intensity through our Hazardous Waste Reduction campaign. The single largest waste stream at the Bay St Louis site comes from the production of AMSAN. We optimized reactor parameters to operate with zero purge for nearly half of the campaign, resulting in a 73% reduction in the generation of hazardous waste since the previous campaign in 2019. We will continue to operate with these optimized reactor parameters in 2022, which will result in the waste stream being reduced by 97% since the 2010 baseline year.

SAUDI KAYAN, SAUDI ARABIA

Turnarounds have led to increased waste generation, negatively impacting material loss intensity.

HADEED, SAUDI ARABIA

Increased production in our direct reduction plants has led to increased flaring, negatively impacting material loss intensity.
