RefineryUnited StatesCO₂ reported

HollyFrontier Tulsa East Refinery is a refinery in United States with a reported capacity of 70,300 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by HollyFrontier Corp. By capacity it ranks #80 of 134 oil refineries tracked in United States. It emits about 705,437 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 164,438 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 19% above the median refinery.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 70,300 BBL per day, HollyFrontier Tulsa East Refinery è al di sotto di la mediana di refinery in United States (93,500 BBL per day). 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.
