Nghi Son Refinery

Nghi Son Refinery is a refinery in Vietnam with a reported capacity of 200,000 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 #1 of 2 oil refineries tracked in Vietnam. It emits about 2,275,643 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 530,453 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 35% above the median refinery.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 200,000 BBL per day, Nghi Son Refinery é em torno de a mediana de refinery em Vietnam (200,000 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.
