RefineryAlgeriaCO₂ reported
Sonatrach Skikda Refinery is a refinery in Algeria with a reported capacity of 332,260 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Sonatrach SpA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 6 oil refineries tracked in Algeria. It emits about 3,319,868 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 773,862 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 18% above the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3143716.
عند 332,260 BBL per day، يكون Sonatrach Skikda Refinery أعلى بكثير من متوسط refinery في Algeria (75,513 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.
