Puma Energy Port Moresby Refinery

Puma Energy Port Moresby Refinery is a refinery in Papua New Guinea with a reported capacity of 32,500 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Trafigura Group Pte Ltd. It emits about 154,495 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 36,013 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 44% below the median refinery.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3144050.

Em contexto: como esta instalação se compara

Com 32,500 BBL per day, Puma Energy Port Moresby Refinery é em torno de a mediana de refinery em Papua New Guinea (32,500 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.
