RefineryIraqCO₂ reported

INOC Basrah Refinery is a refinery in Iraq with a reported capacity of 280,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Iraq National Oil Co. By capacity it ranks #2 of 14 oil refineries tracked in Iraq. It emits about 1,061,446 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 247,423 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 55% below the median refinery.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 280,000 BBL per day, INOC Basrah Refinery jest znacznie powyżej medianę refinery w Iraq (40,000 BBL per day). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 61% powyżej medianę refinery. 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.
