RefineryGreeceCO₂ reported

Hellenic Petroleum Aspropyrgos Refinery is a refinery in Greece with a reported capacity of 148,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Hellenic Petroleum . By capacity it ranks #2 of 4 oil refineries tracked in Greece. It emits about 1,528,776 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 356,358 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 22% above the median refinery.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 148,000 BBL per day, Hellenic Petroleum Aspropyrgos Refinery jest około medianę refinery w Greece (148,000 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.
