Petrochemicals contain a wide variety of monomers and their derivatives which are used in the production of plastics, fibers and synthetic rubber. Until now, petrochemicals have had a dramatic impact on our food, clothing, shelter and leisure because they are the least expensive, most readily available, and can be processed most easily into the end use products. Petrochemical industry, which is known as one of the typical cycle profitability businesses, is now moving downward. In order to overcome the anticipated loss of profit, petrochemical companies are making an effort to offer a value-added upgrading to conventional products. This lecture will discuss a few of issues on the current status and prospect of petrochemical industry.

This paper rejuvenates the existing discussion on the importance of cluster approach to industry development strategies. Current evidences suggest that the shape of economic policy and practice is changing significantly around the world. Governments continually search for new tools and policy formulas to improve economic performance and create economic prosperity for all citizens. In this context a more proactive and strategic role for government in support of the cluster-based economic development model has emerged. This paper uses Singapore's petrochemical industry as an example to study the cluster approach to industry development. In doing so, there is much optimism to the importance of state and its institutions to play a significant role on industry development. Nevertheless, the study also raises doubts on whether the cluster-based strategy is due to the concept itself or due to other important factors.

In this paper, the present status of shale gas development was briefly introduced and intended the growing importance and shale gas as a source of chemicals. The large amounts of shale are expected to be produced thereby, a wealth of methane and ethane will be provided as a raw material of ethylene. This manuscript also focus on the influence of potential volumes of shale gas on petrochemical industry, especially domestic one based on naphtha cracking because ethane cracking can offer cost effective ways to convert methane to higher value chemicals.

석유화학산업은 대규모 설비 투자비용이 소요되는 자본 및 기술집약적 장치산업으로 공급사슬 내 구성원 간의 협력과 통합을 통한 경쟁력 강화를 추구하고 있어 입지선정시 공급업체와 생산업체, 고객의 지리적 위치와 연결성을 고려한 물류요인이 중요해지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다중적 의사결정 기준을 반영하여 입지 선정요인의 상대적 중요성을 평가하고 그 중에서 물류요인의 중요성의 분석 및 국내 주요플랜트 입지 후보지를 평가하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구는 석유화학플랜트 입지선정 요인의 우선순위를 연구함에 있어 물류적 요인이 다른 산업경제학적인 요인과 비교하여 어떠한 중요성을 가지는지 분석한 연구로서 의의가 있다. 또한 도출된 상대적 중요성을 바탕으로 현재 석유화학단지의 입지를 평가했다는데 의의가 있다. 이는 석유화학기업들이 향후 플랜트 입지를 신규로 선정할 경우 물류적인 요인을 중요하게 고려해야 할 것이며, 정부나 지방자치 단체가 석유화학단지를 조성하거나 유치할 경우 물류비, 물류연계성과 같은 물류적인 기반이 확보되어야 한다는 시사점을 제공할 수 있다.

The effluent limitations for individual industry based on the best available technology economically achievable (BAT) have been required to achieve effective regulation. BAT assessment criteria that are suitable for the circumstances of Korean industry were developed in the previous study. The criteria were applied to determine the BAT for petrochemical basic compound manufacturing (PBCM) and plastics and synthetic resins manufacturing (PSRM) industry. Wastewater discharged from the each category contains high concentration of COD and toluene. Eighteen sites were surveyed and wastewater qualities were analyzed. Six and two different technologies were applied to the PBCM and PSRM industry for the end-of-pipe treatment process, respectively. The technology candidates were evaluated in terms of environmental impacts, economically achievability, treatment performance and economical reasonability. As the result, the technology options: typical activated-sludge process + sand filtration + activated carbon adsorption (PBCM) and wet oxidation + chemical precipitation + typical activated-sludge process + chemical precipitation (PSRM) were selected as the BAT for each industry.

Background: Job stress and job satisfaction are important factors affecting workforce productivity. This study was carried out to investigate the job stress, job satisfaction, and workforce productivity levels, to examine the effects of job stress and job satisfaction on workforce productivity, and to identify factors associated with productivity decrement among employees of an Iranian petrochemical industry. Methods: In this study, 125 randomly selected employees of an Iranian petrochemical company participated. The data were collected using the demographic questionnaire, Osipow occupational stress questionnaire to investigate the level of job stress, Job Descriptive Index to examine job satisfaction, and Hersey and Goldsmith questionnaire to investigate productivity in the study population. Results: The levels of employees' perceived job stress and job satisfaction were moderate-high and moderate, respectively. Also, their productivity was evaluated as moderate. Although the relationship between job stress and productivity indices was not statistically significant, the positive correlation between job satisfaction and productivity indices was statistically significant. The regression modeling demonstrated that productivity was significantly associated with shift schedule, the second and the third dimensions of job stress (role insufficiency and role ambiguity), and the second dimension of job satisfaction (supervision). Conclusion: Corrective measures are necessary to improve the shift work system. "Role insufficiency" and "role ambiguity" should be improved and supervisor support must be increased to reduce job stress and increase job satisfaction and productivity.

본 논문의 목적은 한국 석유화학산업의 글로벌가치사슬 내 위치 변화와 한국 석유화학산업의 특성의 관계를 살펴보는 것이다. 한국 석유화학산업은 1960년대 정부의 정책적 지원 하 빠르게 성장하였고, 1980년대 수출주도형 산업으로서 한국 국가경제발전의 핵심 기간산업이 되었다. 1980년 말부터 한국 석유화학산업은 민간 주도의 대규모 생산설비 확충을 바탕으로, 한국은 글로벌 석유화학산업의 주요 국가로 자리매김하였다. 국내 석유화학산업의 공간적 분포는 울산광역시, 여수시, 서산시를 중심으로 상당한 공간적 집중이 나타난다. 그러나 석유화학산업 내 부문별로 지역별 공간적 집중 정도는 차별적으로 나타난다. 국내 석유화학산업은 지역마다 경쟁력 강화를 위해 차별적인 전략을 취함으로써, 구조고도화 및 고부가가치 제품 생산으로 전환하고자 한다. 국가 수준의 석유화학산업 내 구조 변화는 한국 석유화학산업의 GVC 참여 구조 변화를 유발하였지만, 주요 경쟁국에 비해 국내 부가가치는 낮은 수준이다.

The purpose of this research is to create an expert risk-based piping system inspection model. The proposed system includes a risk-based piping inspection system and a piping inspection guideline system. The research procedure consists of three parts: the risk-based inspection model, the risk-based piping inspection model, and the piping inspection guideline system model. In this research procedure, a field plant visit is conducted to collect the related domestic information (Taiwan) and foreign standards and regulations for creating a strategic risk-based piping inspection and analysis system in accordance with the piping damage characteristics in the petrochemical industry. In accordance with various piping damage models and damage positions, petrochemical plants provide the optimal piping inspection planning tool for efficient piping risk prediction for enhancing plant operation safety.
