MOL Slovnaft Bratislava Refinery

MOL Slovnaft Bratislava Refinery is a refinery in Slovakia with a reported capacity of 124,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by MOL Group . It emits about 1,397,127 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 325,671 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 34% above the median refinery.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-712620.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 124,000 BBL per day, MOL Slovnaft Bratislava Refinery está alrededor de la mediana de refinery en Slovakia (124,000 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.
