RefineryIndiaCO₂ reported

Mangalore Refinery is a refinery in India with a reported capacity of 301,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. By capacity it ranks #4 of 22 oil refineries tracked in India. It emits about 5,151,261 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,200,760 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 103% above the median refinery.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 301,000 BBL per day، يكون Mangalore Refinery أعلى بكثير من متوسط refinery في India (210,000 BBL per day). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 22% أعلى 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.
