Sinopec Yueyang Petrochemical (Changling) Refinery

Sinopec Yueyang Petrochemical (Changling) Refinery is a refinery in China with a reported capacity of 200,000 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 #30 of 148 oil refineries tracked in China. It emits about 1,615,533 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 376,581 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1753483.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 200,000 BBL per day ist Sinopec Yueyang Petrochemical (Changling) Refinery deutlich über dem Medianwert von refinery in China (95,000 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.
