Edo Modular Refinery

Edo Modular Refinery is a refinery in Nigeria with a reported capacity of 18,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. By capacity it ranks #5 of 9 oil refineries tracked in Nigeria. It emits about 78,986 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 18,412 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 48% below the median refinery.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 18,000 BBL per day ist Edo Modular Refinery etwa um dem Medianwert von refinery in Nigeria (18,000 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.
