Star Petroleum Map Ta Phut Refinery

Star Petroleum Map Ta Phut Refinery is a refinery in Thailand with a reported capacity of 175,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Chevron Corp. By capacity it ranks #4 of 6 oil refineries tracked in Thailand. It emits about 1,714,021 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 399,539 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-3144138.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 175,000 BBL per day, Star Petroleum Map Ta Phut Refinery está alrededor de la mediana de refinery en Thailand (215,000 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.
