RefineryEgyptCO₂ reported
Alexandria Petroleum Company El Mex Refinery is a refinery in Egypt with a reported capacity of 117,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Egyptian General Petroleum Corp. By capacity it ranks #4 of 9 oil refineries tracked in Egypt. It emits about 825,179 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 192,349 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 16% below the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1825355.
عند 117,000 BBL per day، يكون Alexandria Petroleum Company El Mex Refinery أعلى بكثير من متوسط refinery في Egypt (90,000 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.
