Petropar Villa Elisa Refinery

Petropar Villa Elisa Refinery is a refinery in Paraguay with a reported capacity of 7,500 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Petróleos Paraguayos SA. It emits about 32,208 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 7,508 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 49% below the median refinery.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3144051.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 7,500 BBL per day, Petropar Villa Elisa Refinery é em torno de a mediana de refinery em Paraguay (7,500 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.
