Augusta Oil Refinery

Augusta Oil Refinery is a refinery in Italy with a reported capacity of 198,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Sonatrach SpA. By capacity it ranks #5 of 11 oil refineries tracked in Italy. It emits about 1,516,642 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 353,530 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 9% below the median refinery.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 198,000 BBL per day Augusta Oil Refinery — это примерно медианная refinery в Italy (198,000 BBL per day). Подсектор: oil-and-gas-refining. Как refinery, оно требует высокотемпературного технологического тепла (обычно 200–600°C) для основных промышленных операций — тепла, которое должно подаваться котлами, печами или прямым сжиганием, и потери через неизолированные сосуды и трубопроводы представляют потраченное впустую топливо. Съёмная модульная теплоизоляция может снизить эти потери на 80–96%, охладив поверхность оборудования до ≤45°C, с окупаемостью часто менее 2 лет. Нефтеперерабатывающие заводы нагревают, фракционируют и химически преобразуют сырую нефть в топливо и нефтехимическое сырьё путём энергоёмкой дистилляции и крекинга — чрезвычайно требовательны к генерации пара и рекуперации тепла.

Сравнение производительности и интенсивности CO₂ рассчитано на основе данных промышленных объектов Climate TRACE; роль сектора основана на инженерных справочниках.
