Access Industries Houston Refinery is a refinery in United States with a reported capacity of 263,776 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Access Industries Inc. By capacity it ranks #22 of 134 oil refineries tracked in United States. It emits about 2,463,114 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 574,152 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 11% above the median refinery.

Przy 263,776 BBL per day, Access Industries Houston Refinery jest znacznie powyżej medianę refinery w United States (93,500 BBL per day). Podsektor: oil-and-gas-refining. Jako refinery, wymaga intensywnego ciepła procesowego (typowo 200–600°C) do swoich głównych operacji przemysłowych — ciepła, które musi być dostarczane przez kotły, piece lub spalanie bezpośrednie, a straty przez nieisolowane zbiorniki i rury stanowią zmarnowane paliwo. Modułowa izolacja demontowalna może zmniejszyć te straty o 80–96%, chłodząc powierzchnie do ≤45°C, z zwrotem inwestycji często poniżej 2 lat. Rafinerie ogrzewają, frakcjonują i chemicznie transformują ropę naftową w paliwa i surowce petrochemiczne poprzez destylację i krekowanie o wysokim natężeniu energii — niezwykle wymagające w stosunku do generowania pary i odzysku ciepła.
