Iplom Busalla Oil Refinery

Iplom Busalla Oil Refinery is a refinery in Italy with a reported capacity of 38,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Iplom SpA. By capacity it ranks #10 of 11 oil refineries tracked in Italy. It emits about 373,043 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 86,956 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 16% above the median refinery.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3143973.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 38,000 BBL per day, Iplom Busalla Oil Refinery está por debajo de la mediana de refinery en Italy (198,000 BBL per day). Su CO₂ por unidad de capacidad es aproximadamente 28% por encima de la mediana de refinery. Subsector: oil-and-gas-refining. Como refinery, requiere calor de proceso intenso (típicamente 200–600°C) para sus operaciones industriales centrales — calor que debe ser suministrado por calderas, hornos o combustión directa, y las pérdidas a través de recipientes y tuberías sin aislar representan combustible desperdiciado. El aislamiento modular desmontable puede reducir esas pérdidas en un 80–96%, enfriando superficies a ≤45°C, con amortización a menudo inferior a 2 años. Las refinerías calientan, fraccionan y transforman químicamente el petróleo crudo en combustibles y materias primas petroquímicas mediante destilación y craqueo que consumen mucha energía — extremadamente exigentes en generación de vapor y recuperación de calor.
