飓风“哈维”(Harvey)8月25日登陆美国,袭击了美国能源行业的中心地带,对美国石油化工行业产生了重大影响。美国受影响的乙烯产能为904万吨,占美国总产能32%,占全球产能6%;受影响的丙烯产能569万吨,占美国总产能41%,占全球产能5%。墨西哥湾西北部和北部港口也因“哈维”出现不同程度的关闭,使得美国主要出口化工品受到影响,进而影响到了全球市场的供应。图为8月31日,受飓风哈维影响,美国得克萨斯州一化工厂发生爆炸,造成10人受伤就医。 Hurricane Harvey landed in the United States on August 25, attacking the heart of the U.S. energy industry and having a significant impact on the petrochemical industry in the United States. The total ethylene capacity in the United States is 9.04 million tons, accounting for 32% of the total capacity in the United States and 6% of the global capacity. The affected propylene production is 5.69 million tons, accounting for 41% of the total U.S. capacity and 5% of the global production capacity. The northwestern and northern ports of the Gulf of Mexico also experienced different degrees of closure due to the “Harvey”, which affected the major export chemicals in the United States and further affected the global market supply. The picture shows the impact of Hurricane Harvey on August 31, when an explosion at a chemical plant in Texas in the United States killed 10 people and injured them.
