RefineryColombiaCO₂ reported
Ecopetrol Barrancabaermeja-Santander Refinery is a refinery in Colombia 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 Ecopetrol SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 4 oil refineries tracked in Colombia. It emits about 1,519,536 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 354,204 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 28% below the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3143853.
Przy 250,000 BBL per day, Ecopetrol Barrancabaermeja-Santander Refinery jest około medianę refinery w Colombia (210,000 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.
