Our in-house engineering services are equipped with the up-to-date software in design anddetailing such as: Tekla X-Steel, STAAD pro, & StruCAD 3-D. Our engineers are trained and familiar with international standards and codes such as ASTM, BSS, DIN, JIS amongst others.
Our Engineers are conversant with all Engineering Standards as per Aramco Standard, Sabic Standard, AISC, ASTM, JIS, DIN, BSS and other international standards. All our facilities are equipped with state-of-art equipment and machineries and highly skilled manpower. All CNC machines are directly linked to Engineering to download the required NC files that shall be used to process all the required activities.
Sabic Engineering Standards
The emergence of 1.5 Kv PV systems is a major industry trend that offers efficiency improvements and potential system cost reduction. However, the transition from 1.0 Kv to 1.5 Kv systems is also leading to more-stringent performance and safety standards for all components.
In Europe SABIC has 12 world-scale production facilities which manufacture polyethylenes, polypropylenes, engineering thermoplastics and chemical products. An extensive network of local sales offices and logistical hubs are responsible for sales of these products as well as those manufactured elsewhere in the world. In addition SABIC has three research facilities based in the region, which form part of its global Technology and Innovation organization.
Discussions by organizations promoting a circular, cradle-to-cradle, sustainable plastics economy often address packaging and single-use materials, not engineering plastics and polymers. That's because these constitute by far the highest volumes, especially of plastics polluting the environment. Plastic pollution continues to grow faster than waste management and recycling efforts, says the Paris-based Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Overall plastics recycling has remained under 10% for many years.
The cradle-to-cradle ideal of a circular economy depends on the cooperation of multiple private and public enterprises. That means developing an ecosystem, which can take a long time, and requires some kind of standards, in addition to collaboration and partnerships.
"All the mechanical properties are exactly the same, for both consumer and engineering plastics," said Jeroen Verhoeven, vice president of value chain development for Neste Renewable Polymers & Chemicals. The company is the world's largest producer of renewable fuels, also used to make plastics feedstocks.
Mechanical characteristics like strength, stiffness, and impact have been the traditional drivers for engineering thermoplastics, said Matthew Marks, SABIC's circular economy leader for the Americas. Until recently, the industry didn't see the value in feedstreams from mechanical recycling and considered them a lower-cost option. "But as customers make commitments and regulations are adopted, there is a changing need to re-evaluate this view and an increase in the value of recycling feedstocks," he said. SABIC's TRUCIRCLE portfolio of products and solutions addresses both carbon emissions reduction and the waste challenge, including producing certified renewable products with bio-based content and certified circular polymers.
SABIC was one of the first polymer producers to receive ISCC PLUS certification for its renewable portfolio, said Marks. Other standards and guidelines include the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials' sustainability framework and ISO lifecycle assessment standards.
Covestro is meeting its circularity goals by using alternative raw materials for engineering plastics, including bio-circular and recycled content, said Lauren Zetts, global head of marketing for healthcare. While sustainable materials are new to the healthcare industry, they've been used in electronics for a long time.
For its part, LG Chem has commercialized sustainable plastics such as post-consumer recycled (PCR) ABS and PCR engineering plastics that are mainly PC-based. The company's focus is on "stably procuring high-quality raw materials from used electronics and/or home appliances to make these recycled plastics even more sustainable," according to an LG Chem spokesperson.
Depolymerization doesn't work well with every polymer, he said. Although it's mostly championed for polyethylene teraphthalate, used in containers and textiles, and polystyrene, it can also be used for engineering plastics like polyurethane, PC, and polyamide, as well as polymethyl methacrylate, and some engineering-oriented acrylics.
Getting back engineering materials is even harder than many consumer materials, since they must last a long time and perform a specific function in a product or device, said DuPont's Ammons. "It's not like a polypropylene container or a PET bottle, where the package is the product." So the challenge is collecting all the parts and extracting the materials.
SABIC's procurement policy mandates that the company procures goods, equipment, materials and services from qualified suppliers through lawful, ethical and fair means. At SABIC, we are committed to sourcing our procurement needs from suppliers who meet our technical, quality, environmental, health, safety and security, sustainability and social responsibility standards. 2ff7e9595c
