IOCL Bongaigaon Refinery

IOCL Bongaigaon Refinery is a refinery in India with a reported capacity of 54,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. By capacity it ranks #18 of 22 oil refineries tracked in India. It emits about 375,686 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 87,572 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 18% below the median refinery.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 54,000 BBL per day, IOCL Bongaigaon Refinery è al di sotto di la mediana di refinery in India (210,000 BBL per day). Il suo CO₂ per unità di capacità è approssimativamente 51% 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.
