Ergon Newell Refinery

Ergon Newell Refinery is a refinery in United States with a reported capacity of 22,300 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Ergon Inc. By capacity it ranks #108 of 134 oil refineries tracked in United States. It emits about 134,816 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 31,426 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 28% below the median refinery.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 22,300 BBL per day ist Ergon Newell Refinery unter dem Medianwert von refinery in United States (93,500 BBL per day). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 37% unter dem Medianwert von refinery. 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.
