CORAF Pointe Noire Refinery

CORAF Pointe Noire Refinery is a refinery in Congo with a reported capacity of 21,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Congolaise de Raffinage . It emits about 84,472 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 19,690 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 52% below the median refinery.

文脈内で：この施設がどのように比較されるか

21,000 BBL per dayで、CORAF Pointe Noire RefineryはCongoのrefineryの中央値約 21,000 BBL per dayです。 サブセクター：oil-and-gas-refining。 refineryとして、その中核的な産業操業に対して激しいプロセス熱（通常200–600°C）が必要です。この熱はボイラー、炉、または直接燃焼によって供給される必要があり、未断熱容器および配管からの損失は無駄な燃料を表します。モジュール式脱着可能な断熱は、これらの損失を80～96%削減でき、表面を≤45°Cに冷却でき、回収期間は通常2年未満です。 製油所は、エネルギー集約的な蒸留とクラッキングを通じて原油を燃料および石油化学原料に加熱、分留および化学的に変換します。蒸気発生および熱回収に非常に要求されています。

容量およびCO₂強度の比較はClimate TRACEの産業施設データから計算されました。セクターの役割は工学リファレンスに基づいています。
