RefineryJordanCO₂ reported

Jordan Petroleum Al Zarqa Refinery is a refinery in Jordan with a reported capacity of 100,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Jordan Petroleum Refinery Co. It emits about 353,663 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 82,439 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 58% below the median refinery.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 100,000 BBL per day, Jordan Petroleum Al Zarqa Refinery è attorno a la mediana di refinery in Jordan (100,000 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.
