Refinery in Iran. Approximate location 26.79961, 53.3511.

RefineryIranCO₂ reported

NIORDC Lavan Refinery is a refinery in Iran with a reported capacity of 60,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by National Iranian Oil Refining And Distribution Co. By capacity it ranks #8 of 10 oil refineries tracked in Iran. It emits about 389,298 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 90,745 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 23% below the median refinery.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 60,000 BBL per day، يكون NIORDC Lavan Refinery أقل من متوسط refinery في Iran (250,000 BBL per day). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 55% 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.

مقارنة السعة وكثافة CO₂ محسوبة من بيانات منشآت Climate TRACE الصناعية؛ دور القطاع بناءً على مرجع الهندسة.
