Natref Sasolburg Refinery is a refinery in South Africa with a reported capacity of 108,500 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Sasol . By capacity it ranks #2 of 4 oil refineries tracked in South Africa. It emits about 771,500 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 179,837 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 16% below the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1753782.
На мощности 108,500 BBL per day Natref Sasolburg Refinery — это примерно медианная refinery в South Africa (108,500 BBL per day). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 11% 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.
