RefineryIndiaCO₂ reported

IOCL Digboi Refinery is a refinery in India with a reported capacity of 13,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. By capacity it ranks #20 of 22 oil refineries tracked in India. It emits about 227,985 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 53,143 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 108% above the median refinery.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 13,000 BBL per day, IOCL Digboi Refinery jest poniżej medianę refinery w India (210,000 BBL per day). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 25% 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.
