RefineryCôte d'IvoireCO₂ reported

SIR Abidjan Refinery is a refinery in Côte d'Ivoire with a reported capacity of 76,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Societe Ivoirienne de Raffinage SA. It emits about 649,214 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 151,332 cars.

En contexte: comment cette installation se compare

À 76,000 BBL per day, SIR Abidjan Refinery est autour de la médiane des refinery en Côte d'Ivoire (76,000 BBL per day). 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.
