RefinerySaudi ArabiaCO₂ reported
Saudi Aramco Riyadh Refinery is a refinery in Saudi Arabia with a reported capacity of 130,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Saudi Arabian Oil Co. By capacity it ranks #9 of 10 oil refineries tracked in Saudi Arabia. It emits about 1,363,831 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 317,909 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 24% above the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3144104.
عند 130,000 BBL per day، يكون Saudi Aramco Riyadh Refinery أقل من متوسط refinery في Saudi Arabia (400,000 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.
