INOC Daurah Nassiriya Refinery

INOC Daurah Nassiriya Refinery is a refinery in Iraq with a reported capacity of 210,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Iraq National Oil Co. By capacity it ranks #3 of 14 oil refineries tracked in Iraq. It emits about 813,401 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 189,604 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 54% below the median refinery.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 210,000 BBL per day ist INOC Daurah Nassiriya Refinery deutlich über dem Medianwert von refinery in Iraq (40,000 BBL per day). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 64% über 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.
