ENEOS Kashima Refinery

ENEOS Kashima Refinery is a refinery in Japan with a reported capacity of 203,100 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by ENEOS Corp. By capacity it ranks #4 of 21 oil refineries tracked in Japan. It emits about 1,640,471 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 382,394 cars.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 203,100 BBL per day, ENEOS Kashima Refinery è ben al di sopra di la mediana di refinery in Japan (145,000 BBL per day). Il suo CO₂ per unità di capacità è approssimativamente 6% 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.
