Suez Oil Processing Company El Suez Refinery

Suez Oil Processing Company El Suez Refinery is a refinery in Egypt with a reported capacity of 68,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Egyptian General Petroleum Corp. By capacity it ranks #7 of 9 oil refineries tracked in Egypt. It emits about 629,054 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 146,633 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 10% above the median refinery.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 68,000 BBL per day ist Suez Oil Processing Company El Suez Refinery unter dem Medianwert von refinery in Egypt (90,000 BBL per day). Sein CO₂ pro Kapazitätseinheit liegt ungefähr 31% über 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.
