RefinerySri LankaCO₂ reported
Ceylon Petroleum Sapugaskanda Refinery is a refinery in Sri Lanka with a reported capacity of 50,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Ceylon Petroleum Corp. It emits about 228,979 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 53,375 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 46% below the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3144124.
Bei 50,000 BBL per day ist Ceylon Petroleum Sapugaskanda Refinery etwa um dem Medianwert von refinery in Sri Lanka (50,000 BBL per day). Untersektor: oil-and-gas-refining. Als refinery benötigt es intensive Prozesswärme (typischerweise 200–600°C) für seinen Kernbetrieb — Wärme, die durch Dampfkessel, Öfen oder direkte Verbrennung geliefert werden muss, und Verluste durch ungedämmte Behälter und Rohrleitungen stellen verschwendeten Brennstoff dar. Modulare abnehmbare Dämmung kann diese Verluste um 80–96% senken, Oberflächen auf ≤45°C kühlen, mit Amortisationszeiten oft unter 2 Jahren. Raffinerien wärmen auf, fraktionieren und chemisch transformieren Rohöl durch energieintensive Destillation und Cracken in Brennstoffe und petrochemische Rohstoffe — extrem anspruchsvoll für Dampfzeugung und Wärmenutzung.
