RefineryIrelandCO₂ reported

Irving Oil Whitegate Refinery is a refinery in Ireland with a reported capacity of 75,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Irving Oil Ltd. It emits about 289,439 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 67,468 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 54% below the median refinery.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 75,000 BBL per day, Irving Oil Whitegate Refinery jest około medianę refinery w Ireland (75,000 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.
