Pemex Dos Bocas Refinery

Pemex Dos Bocas Refinery is a refinery in Mexico with a reported capacity of 340,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Petróleos Mexicanos EPE. By capacity it ranks #1 of 7 oil refineries tracked in Mexico. It emits about 332,593 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 77,528 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 88% below the median refinery.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 340,000 BBL per day, Pemex Dos Bocas Refinery è attorno a la mediana di refinery in Mexico (285,000 BBL per day). Il suo CO₂ per unità di capacità è approssimativamente 84% 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.
