Sinopec Tianjin Petrochemical Refinery

Sinopec Tianjin Petrochemical Refinery is a refinery in China with a reported capacity of 250,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by China Petrochemical Corp. By capacity it ranks #17 of 148 oil refineries tracked in China. It emits about 1,477,640 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 344,438 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 30% below the median refinery.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 250,000 BBL per day ist Sinopec Tianjin Petrochemical Refinery deutlich über dem Medianwert von refinery in China (95,000 BBL per day). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 28% 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.
