RefineryChinaCO₂ reported

PetroChina Lanzhou Refinery is a refinery in China with a reported capacity of 210,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by PetroChina Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #20 of 148 oil refineries tracked in China. It emits about 2,609,706 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 608,323 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 47% above the median refinery.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 210,000 BBL per day, PetroChina Lanzhou Refinery jest znacznie powyżej medianę refinery w China (95,000 BBL per day). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 51% powyżej 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.
