HollyFrontier Casper Refinery

HollyFrontier Casper Refinery is a refinery in United States with a reported capacity of 31,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by HollyFrontier Corp. By capacity it ranks #103 of 134 oil refineries tracked in United States. It emits about 291,300 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 67,902 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 11% above the median refinery.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 31,000 BBL per day ist HollyFrontier Casper Refinery unter dem Medianwert von refinery in United States (93,500 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.
