SOCAR Heydar Aliyev Baku Refinery

SOCAR Heydar Aliyev Baku Refinery is a refinery in Azerbaijan with a reported capacity of 120,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic . It emits about 1,208,033 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 281,593 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 19% above the median refinery.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3143737.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 120,000 BBL per day, SOCAR Heydar Aliyev Baku Refinery è attorno a la mediana di refinery in Azerbaijan (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.
