RefineryUnited StatesCO₂ reported

Marathon El Paso Refinery is a refinery in United States with a reported capacity of 133,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Marathon Petroleum Corp. By capacity it ranks #53 of 134 oil refineries tracked in United States. It emits about 1,428,369 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 332,953 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 27% above the median refinery.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 133,000 BBL per day, Marathon El Paso Refinery est bien au-dessus de la médiane des refinery en United States (93,500 BBL per day). Son CO₂ par unité de capacité est approximativement 11% au-dessus de la médiane des refinery. Sous-secteur: oil-and-gas-refining. Comme refinery, elle nécessite une chaleur de procédé intensive (typiquement 200–600°C) pour ses opérations industrielles essentielles — chaleur qui doit être fournie par des chaudières, fours ou combustion directe, et les pertes par les récipients et tuyauteries non isolés représentent du combustible gaspillé. L'isolation modulaire amovible peut réduire ces pertes de 80–96%, refroidissant les surfaces à ≤45°C, avec des délais d'amortissement souvent inférieurs à 2 ans. Les raffineries chauffent, fractionnent et transforment chimiquement le pétrole brut en combustibles et matières premières pétrochimiques par distillation et craquage gourmands en énergie — extrêmement exigeants pour la génération de vapeur et la récupération de chaleur.
