RefineryIndiaCO₂ reported

IOCL Panipat Refinery is a refinery in India with a reported capacity of 301,000 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 #7 of 22 oil refineries tracked in India. It emits about 3,253,089 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 758,296 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 28% above the median refinery.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 301,000 BBL per day, IOCL Panipat Refinery jest znacznie powyżej medianę refinery w India (210,000 BBL per day). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 23% poniżej 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.
