Delek El Dorado Refinery

Delek El Dorado Refinery is a refinery in United States with a reported capacity of 83,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Delek Group Ltd. By capacity it ranks #72 of 134 oil refineries tracked in United States. It emits about 670,283 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 156,243 cars.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1753336.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 83,000 BBL per day, Delek El Dorado Refinery é em torno de a mediana de refinery em United States (93,500 BBL per day). Seu CO₂ por unidade de capacidade é aproximadamente 16% abaixo de a mediana de refinery. Subsetor: oil-and-gas-refining. Como refinery, requer calor de processo intenso (tipicamente 200–600°C) para suas operações industriais centrais — calor que deve ser fornecido por caldeiras, fornos ou combustão direta, e as perdas através de vasos e tubulações não isolados representam combustível desperdiçado. O isolamento modular removível pode reduzir essas perdas em 80–96%, esfriando superfícies a ≤45°C, com payback geralmente inferior a 2 anos. As refinarias aquecem, fracionam e transformam quimicamente o petróleo bruto em combustíveis e matérias-primas petroquímicas através de destilação e craqueamento que consomem muita energia — extremamente exigentes em geração de vapor e recuperação de calor.
