RefineryLibyaCO₂ reported

AGOCO Sarir Refinery is a refinery in Libya with a reported capacity of 10,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by National Oil Corp. By capacity it ranks #4 of 5 oil refineries tracked in Libya. It emits about 53,535 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 12,479 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 37% below the median refinery.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 10,000 BBL per day، يكون AGOCO Sarir Refinery أقل من متوسط refinery في Libya (20,000 BBL per day). القطاع الفرعي: oil-and-gas-refining. كـ refinery، يتطلب حرارة عملية مكثفة (عادة 200–600°C) لعملياته الصناعية الأساسية — حرارة يجب توفيرها بواسطة الغلايات أو الأفران أو الاحتراق المباشر، والخسائر من خلال الحاويات والأنابيب غير المعزولة تمثل وقود مهدر. يمكن للعزل المعياري القابل للإزالة أن يقلل هذه الخسائر بمقدار 80-96٪، وتبريد الأسطح إلى ≤45°C، مع فترة استرجاع غالباً أقل من سنتين. تقوم المصافي بتسخين وتجزئة وتحويل النفط الخام كيميائياً إلى الوقود والمواد الخام البتروكيميائية من خلال التقطير والتكسير اللذين يتطلبان طاقة كثيفة — متطلبة بشكل استثنائي لتوليد البخار وتعافي الحرارة.
