INOC Nassiriya Refinery

INOC Nassiriya Refinery is a refinery in Iraq with a reported capacity of 30,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Iraq National Oil Co. By capacity it ranks #10 of 14 oil refineries tracked in Iraq. It emits about 70,783 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 16,500 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 72% below the median refinery.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1753955.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 30,000 BBL per day, INOC Nassiriya Refinery é abaixo de a mediana de refinery em Iraq (40,000 BBL per day). 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.
