Idemitsu Kosan Aichi Refinery

Idemitsu Kosan Aichi Refinery is a refinery in Japan with a reported capacity of 170,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Idemitsu Kosan Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #7 of 21 oil refineries tracked in Japan. It emits about 1,454,624 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 339,073 cars.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 170,000 BBL per day, Idemitsu Kosan Aichi Refinery è attorno a la mediana di refinery in Japan (145,000 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.
