Husky Lloydminster Refinery

Husky Lloydminster Refinery is a refinery in Canada with a reported capacity of 30,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Cenovus Energy Inc. By capacity it ranks #14 of 18 oil refineries tracked in Canada. It emits about 286,213 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 66,716 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 13% above the median refinery.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 30,000 BBL per day ist Husky Lloydminster Refinery unter dem Medianwert von refinery in Canada (112,000 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.
