Pertamina Plaju Refinery

Pertamina Plaju Refinery is a refinery in Indonesia with a reported capacity of 118,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by PT Pertamina (Persero) . By capacity it ranks #5 of 8 oil refineries tracked in Indonesia. It emits about 907,248 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 211,480 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 9% below the median refinery.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 118,000 BBL per day, Pertamina Plaju Refinery è attorno a la mediana di refinery in Indonesia (120,000 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.
