PBF Paulsboro Refinery

PBF Paulsboro Refinery is a refinery in United States with a reported capacity of 160,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by PBF Energy Inc. By capacity it ranks #44 of 134 oil refineries tracked in United States. It emits about 820,158 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 191,179 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 39% below the median refinery.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 160,000 BBL per day, PBF Paulsboro Refinery è ben al di sopra di la mediana di refinery in United States (93,500 BBL per day). Il suo CO₂ per unità di capacità è approssimativamente 47% 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.
