Societe Africaine de Raffinage (SAR) Refinery

Societe Africaine de Raffinage (SAR) Refinery is a refinery in Senegal with a reported capacity of 30,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Petrosen . It emits about 116,021 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 27,045 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 54% below the median refinery.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-40040656.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 30,000 BBL per day, Societe Africaine de Raffinage (SAR) Refinery è attorno a la mediana di refinery in Senegal (30,000 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.
