Persian Gulf Star Refinery

Persian Gulf Star Refinery is a refinery in Iran with a reported capacity of 400,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Oil Industry Retirement Fund Investment Co. By capacity it ranks #1 of 10 oil refineries tracked in Iran. It emits about 2,595,318 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 604,969 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 23% below the median refinery.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 400,000 BBL per day ist Persian Gulf Star Refinery deutlich über dem Medianwert von refinery in Iran (250,000 BBL per day). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 55% 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.
