MIDOR Alexandria Refinery

MIDOR Alexandria Refinery is a refinery in Egypt with a reported capacity of 160,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Egyptian General Petroleum Corp. By capacity it ranks #2 of 9 oil refineries tracked in Egypt. It emits about 1,341,404 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 312,682 cars.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 160,000 BBL per day ist MIDOR Alexandria Refinery deutlich über dem Medianwert von refinery in Egypt (90,000 BBL per day). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 19% 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.
