NIORDC Arak Refinery

NIORDC Arak Refinery is a refinery in Iran with a reported capacity of 250,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by National Iranian Oil Refining And Distribution Co. By capacity it ranks #5 of 10 oil refineries tracked in Iran. It emits about 3,604,524 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 840,215 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 71% above the median refinery.

文脈内で：この施設がどのように比較されるか

250,000 BBL per dayで、NIORDC Arak RefineryはIranのrefineryの中央値約 250,000 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。
