Delek El Dorado Refinery

Delek El Dorado Refinery is a refinery in United States with a reported capacity of 83,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Delek Group Ltd. By capacity it ranks #72 of 134 oil refineries tracked in United States. It emits about 670,283 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 156,243 cars.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 83,000 BBL per day, Delek El Dorado Refinery è attorno a la mediana di refinery in United States (93,500 BBL per day). Il suo CO₂ per unità di capacità è approssimativamente 16% 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.
