Iplom Busalla Oil Refinery

Iplom Busalla Oil Refinery is a refinery in Italy with a reported capacity of 38,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Iplom SpA. By capacity it ranks #10 of 11 oil refineries tracked in Italy. It emits about 373,043 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 86,956 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 16% above the median refinery.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3143973.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 38,000 BBL per day, Iplom Busalla Oil Refinery é abaixo de a mediana de refinery em Italy (198,000 BBL per day). Seu CO₂ por unidade de capacidade é aproximadamente 28% acima 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.
