Idemitsu Kosan Tokuyama Refinery

Idemitsu Kosan Tokuyama Refinery is a refinery in Japan with a reported capacity of 120,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Idemitsu Kosan Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #17 of 21 oil refineries tracked in Japan. It emits about 179,808 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 41,913 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 82% below the median refinery.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 120,000 BBL per day, Idemitsu Kosan Tokuyama Refinery é em torno de a mediana de refinery em Japan (145,000 BBL per day). Seu CO₂ por unidade de capacidade é aproximadamente 82% 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.
