Uzbekneftegaz Alty-Arik Refinery

Uzbekneftegaz Alty-Arik Refinery is a refinery in Uzbekistan with a reported capacity of 66,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Uzbekneftegaz JSC. By capacity it ranks #2 of 3 oil refineries tracked in Uzbekistan. It emits about 105,629 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 24,622 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 81% below the median refinery.

En contexto: cómo se compara esta instalación

Con 66,000 BBL per day, Uzbekneftegaz Alty-Arik Refinery está alrededor de la mediana de refinery en Uzbekistan (66,000 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.
