Yanchang Yongping Refinery

Yanchang Yongping Refinery is a refinery in China with a reported capacity of 90,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Shaanxi Yanchang Petroleum (Group) Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #76 of 148 oil refineries tracked in China. It emits about 1,118,446 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 260,710 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 47% above the median refinery.

Nel contesto: come si confronta questo impianto

Con 90,000 BBL per day, Yanchang Yongping Refinery è attorno a la mediana di refinery in China (95,000 BBL per day). Il suo CO₂ per unità di capacità è approssimativamente 51% al di sopra 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.
