Nasr Petroleum Company El Nasr Refinery

Nasr Petroleum Company El Nasr Refinery is a refinery in Egypt with a reported capacity of 155,000 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 #3 of 9 oil refineries tracked in Egypt. It emits about 638,551 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 148,846 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 51% below the median refinery.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 155,000 BBL per day, Nasr Petroleum Company El Nasr Refinery está muy por encima de la mediana de refinery en Egypt (90,000 BBL per day). Su CO₂ por unidad de capacidad es aproximadamente 42% por debajo 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.
