能源是美国石化行业中最重要的成本因素，本指南将其定义为生产大量基本和中间有机化学品以及大量塑料的化学工业部门。2004年，该行业在燃料和电力方面的支出约为100亿美元。提高能源效率是降低这些成本和增加可预测收益的重要途径，尤其是在能源价格波动较大的时期。在美国石化工业的各个工厂中，有各种各样的机会可以以具有成本效益的方式减少能源消耗。本能源指南讨论了可在组件、过程、设施和组织层面实施的能源效率实践和能源效率技术。讨论了石化工业的发展趋势、结构和能源消耗特点，并描述了该工业中使用的主要工艺技术。接下来，描述了各种各样的能源效率措施。许多测量描述包括能源和能源相关成本的预期节约，基于全球石化和相关行业实际应用的案例研究数据。如果有的话，还提供了典型的度量回收期和对技术文献中进一步信息的参考。本能源指南中的信息旨在帮助美国石化行业的能源和工厂管理人员以具有成本效益的方式减少能源消耗，同时保持所生产产品的质量。需要进一步研究所有措施的经济性，以及它们在不同生产实践中的适用性，以评估它们在单个工厂的成本效益。
Energy is the most important cost factor in the U.S petrochemical industry, defined in this guide as the chemical industry sectors producing large volume basic and intermediate organic chemicals as well as large volume plastics. The sector spent about $10 billion on fuels and electricity in 2004. Energy efficiency improvement is an important way to reduce these costs and to increase predictable earnings, especially in times of high energy price volatility. There are a variety of opportunities available at individual plants in the U.S. petrochemical industry to reduce energy consumption in a cost-effective manner. This Energy Guide discusses energy efficiency practices and energy efficient technologies that can be implemented at the component, process, facility, and organizational levels. A discussion of the trends, structure, and energy consumption characteristics of the petrochemical industry is provided along with a description of the major process technologies used within the industry. Next, a wide variety of energy efficiency measures are described. Many measure descriptions include expected savings in energy and energy-related costs, based on case study data from real-world applications in the petrochemical and related industries worldwide. Typical measure payback periods and references to further information in the technical literature are also provided, when available. The information in this Energy Guide is intended to help energy and plant managers in the U.S. petrochemical industry reduce energy consumption in a cost-effective manner while maintaining the quality of products manufactured. Further research on the economics of all measures—and on their applicability to different production practices—is needed to assess their cost effectiveness at individual plants.
