LUKOIL Neftochim Burgas Refinery

LUKOIL Neftochim Burgas Refinery is a refinery in Bulgaria with a reported capacity of 196,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by LUKOIL Neftohim Burgas AD. It emits about 1,488,919 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 347,067 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 10% below the median refinery.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3143764.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 196,000 BBL per day, LUKOIL Neftochim Burgas Refinery está alrededor de la mediana de refinery en Bulgaria (196,000 BBL per day). 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.
