RefineryIndiaCO₂ reported

IOCL Barauni Refinery is a refinery in India with a reported capacity of 120,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. By capacity it ranks #16 of 22 oil refineries tracked in India. It emits about 1,493,897 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 348,228 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 48% above the median refinery.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 120,000 BBL per day، يكون IOCL Barauni Refinery أقل من متوسط refinery في India (210,000 BBL per day). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 12% أقل من متوسط refinery. 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.
