North West Redwater Partnership Sturgeon Refinery

North West Redwater Partnership Sturgeon Refinery is a refinery in Canada with a reported capacity of 80,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. By capacity it ranks #12 of 18 oil refineries tracked in Canada. It emits about 525,573 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 122,511 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 22% below the median refinery.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 80,000 BBL per day ist North West Redwater Partnership Sturgeon Refinery unter dem Medianwert von refinery in Canada (112,000 BBL per day). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 34% 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.
