RefineryTaiwanCO₂ reported

CPC Dalin Refinery is a refinery in Taiwan with a reported capacity of 400,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by CPC Corporation Taiwan . By capacity it ranks #2 of 3 oil refineries tracked in Taiwan. It emits about 1,923,906 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 448,463 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 43% below the median refinery.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 400,000 BBL per day, CPC Dalin Refinery è attorno a la mediana di refinery in Taiwan (400,000 BBL per day). Il suo CO₂ per unità di capacità è approssimativamente 40% al di sotto di la mediana di refinery. Sottosettore: oil-and-gas-refining. Come refinery, richiede calore di processo intenso (tipicamente 200–600°C) per le sue operazioni industriali essenziali — calore che deve essere fornito da caldaie, forni o combustione diretta, e le perdite attraverso recipienti e tubazioni non isolati rappresentano carburante sprecato. L'isolamento modulare removibile può ridurre queste perdite dell'80–96%, raffreddando superfici a ≤45°C, con payback spesso inferiore a 2 anni. Le raffinerie riscaldano, frazionano e trasformano chimicamente il petrolio greggio in carburanti e materie prime petrolchimiche attraverso distillazione e cracking ad alta intensità energetica — estremamente esigenti per la generazione di vapore e il recupero di calore.
