Set the boundary first. Collect site evidence before selecting a measure or reporting a result.
Define the refinery boundary by process unit and utility system. Do not infer a site result from throughput alone.
Fuel and steam balances, fired-heater operating data, hydrogen production, flaring, electricity, product throughput, maintenance status and reporting factors.
Use measured surface area, temperature and operating hours to calculate heat loss from boilers, kilns, heat exchangers, valves and pipework. Inzonex supplies removable modular insulation for equipment that requires maintenance access.
Do not add a calculated reduction to an emissions report until the reporting boundary, factor, implementation date and verification method have been approved.
Assess combustion control, heat recovery, hydrogen, electrification and insulation against the affected unit and operating constraint.
Review fired-heater auxiliaries, steam systems, hot-oil services, valves, flanges and removable access points. Exclude surfaces that require specialist refractory design.
