RefineryUnited StatesCO₂ reported

BP Ferndale Refinery is a refinery in United States with a reported capacity of 238,500 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by BP PLC. By capacity it ranks #26 of 134 oil refineries tracked in United States. It emits about 3,064,220 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 714,270 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 52% above the median refinery.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 238,500 BBL per day BP Ferndale Refinery — это значительно выше медианная refinery в United States (93,500 BBL per day). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 33% выше медианной refinery. 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.
