RefineryCôte d'IvoireCO₂ reported

SIR Abidjan Refinery is a refinery in Côte d'Ivoire with a reported capacity of 76,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Societe Ivoirienne de Raffinage SA. It emits about 649,214 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 151,332 cars.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 76,000 BBL per day ist SIR Abidjan Refinery etwa um dem Medianwert von refinery in Côte d'Ivoire (76,000 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.
