RefineryGhanaCO₂ reported

Sentuo Refinery is a refinery in Ghana with a reported capacity of 40,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Sentuo Group . By capacity it ranks #2 of 4 oil refineries tracked in Ghana. It emits about 277,714 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 64,735 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 18% below the median refinery.

في السياق: كيف يتم مقارنة هذا المنشأة

عند 40,000 BBL per day، يكون Sentuo Refinery حوالي متوسط refinery في Ghana (40,000 BBL per day). CO₂ لكل وحدة سعة هو تقريباً 65% 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.
