Uniper Fujairah Refinery

Uniper Fujairah Refinery is a refinery in United Arab Emirates with a reported capacity of 65,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. By capacity it ranks #4 of 7 oil refineries tracked in United Arab Emirates. It emits about 381,712 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 88,977 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 30% below the median refinery.

Im Kontext: wie sich diese Anlage vergleicht

Bei 65,000 BBL per day ist Uniper Fujairah Refinery etwa um dem Medianwert von refinery in United Arab Emirates (80,000 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.
