Marathon Salt Lake City Refifnery is a refinery in United States with a reported capacity of 68,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Marathon Petroleum Corp. By capacity it ranks #82 of 134 oil refineries tracked in United States. It emits about 657,241 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 153,203 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 15% above the median refinery.

Przy 68,000 BBL per day, Marathon Salt Lake City Refifnery jest poniżej medianę refinery w United States (93,500 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.

A refinery like this runs hot equipment that sheds heat continuously: crude & vacuum distillation columns, fired heaters, heat exchangers, steam lines, valves & flanges (surface/process temperatures around 150–550 °C). These surfaces lose energy to the air year-round; removable modular insulation cuts that loss, brings outer surfaces to ≤45 °C, and unclips for inspection.
On an already-insulated site (pipes & valves in cladding / jackets), closing the remaining gaps, flanges and damaged sections and switching to removable covers indicatively recovers about 39,000 MWh/yr (≈ 7,700 t CO₂/yr) — scaled to this site's reported CO₂ within its sector. Bare or damaged surfaces recover several times more.

Indicative, not a measurement. Conservative floor for an already-insulated plant; a TIPCHECK on-site audit gives a measured figure. Industry context: EiiF TIPCHECK — industrial insulation can save ~14 Mtoe/yr in EU, payback typically <2 years.
Bare hot surfaces here exceed the touch-safe limit (EN ISO 13732-1); insulation to ≤45 °C is a worker-safety and compliance win. And before electrification, fuel-switching or CCS, eliminating surface heat loss is the cheapest, fastest, lowest-risk step — audit the bare spots first, rip-and-replace later.
Funding. Investment tax credit up to 30% of qualified investment incl. industrial decarbonization; open to small/medium/large manufacturers.
Obligation. None at federal level (voluntary). Some states have their own programs. (applies as a rule above the stated threshold — we don't hold this site's metered energy use).
