RefineryNigeriaCO₂ reported

Aradel Modular Refinery is a refinery in Nigeria with a reported capacity of 11,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Aradel Holdings PLC. By capacity it ranks #6 of 9 oil refineries tracked in Nigeria. It emits about 48,269 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 11,252 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 48% below the median refinery.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 11,000 BBL per day، يكون Aradel Modular Refinery أقل من متوسط refinery في Nigeria (18,000 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.
