RefineryUnited StatesCO₂ reported

ConocoPhillips Prudhoe Bay Refinery is a refinery in United States with a reported capacity of 15,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by ConocoPhillips Corp. By capacity it ranks #113 of 134 oil refineries tracked in United States. It emits about 104,059 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 24,256 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 18% below the median refinery.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 15,000 BBL per day ConocoPhillips Prudhoe Bay Refinery — это ниже медианная refinery в United States (93,500 BBL per day). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 28% ниже 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.
