RefineryNigeriaCO₂ reported

PHRC Port Harcourt Refinery is a refinery in Nigeria 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 NNPC Ltd. By capacity it ranks #2 of 9 oil refineries tracked in Nigeria. It emits about 185,439 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 43,226 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 90% below the median refinery.

W kontekście: jak ta instalacja się porównuje

Przy 210,000 BBL per day, PHRC Port Harcourt Refinery jest znacznie powyżej medianę refinery w Nigeria (18,000 BBL per day). Jego CO₂ na jednostkę pojemności wynosi w przybliżeniu 80% poniżej 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.
