RefineryIranCO₂ reported

NIORDC Tabriz Refinery is a refinery in Iran with a reported capacity of 115,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by National Iranian Oil Refining And Distribution Co. By capacity it ranks #7 of 10 oil refineries tracked in Iran. It emits about 1,658,081 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 386,499 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 71% above the median refinery.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 115,000 BBL per day, NIORDC Tabriz Refinery jest poniżej 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.
