Mubadala Maratripe Refinery

Mubadala Maratripe Refinery is a refinery in Brazil with a reported capacity of 333,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Mubadala Capital LLC. By capacity it ranks #2 of 13 oil refineries tracked in Brazil. It emits about 2,059,269 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 480,016 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 27% below the median refinery.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 333,000 BBL per day ist Mubadala Maratripe Refinery deutlich über dem Medianwert von refinery in Brazil (170,000 BBL per day). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 43% 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.
