Esso Fawley Southampton Refinery

Esso Fawley Southampton Refinery is a refinery in United Kingdom with a reported capacity of 262,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Exxon Mobil Corp. By capacity it ranks #2 of 6 oil refineries tracked in United Kingdom. It emits about 2,404,168 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 560,412 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 9% above the median refinery.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 262,000 BBL per day Esso Fawley Southampton Refinery — это примерно медианная refinery в United Kingdom (221,000 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.
