KRC Khartoum Refinery

KRC Khartoum Refinery is a refinery in Sudan with a reported capacity of 100,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Ministry of Energy and Mining (Sudan) . By capacity it ranks #1 of 2 oil refineries tracked in Sudan. It emits about 63,717 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 14,852 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 92% below the median refinery.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 100,000 BBL per day, KRC Khartoum Refinery é em torno de a mediana de refinery em Sudan (100,000 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.
