Prax Group Lindsey Oil Refinery

Prax Group Lindsey Oil Refinery is a refinery in United Kingdom with a reported capacity of 113,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Prax Group Ltd. By capacity it ranks #6 of 6 oil refineries tracked in United Kingdom. It emits about 1,036,912 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 241,704 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 9% above the median refinery.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 113,000 BBL per day ist Prax Group Lindsey Oil Refinery unter dem Medianwert von refinery in United Kingdom (221,000 BBL per day). 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.
