RefineryIranCO₂ reported

NIORDC Isfahan Refinery is a refinery in Iran with a reported capacity of 375,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. By capacity it ranks #3 of 10 oil refineries tracked in Iran. It emits about 5,406,785 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,260,323 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 71% above the median refinery.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 375,000 BBL per day, NIORDC Isfahan Refinery jest znacznie powyżej medianę refinery w Iran (250,000 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.
