Refinery in Indonesia. Approximate location -1.24565, 116.82056.

RefineryIndonesiaCO₂ reported

Pertamina Balikpapan Refinery is a refinery in Indonesia with a reported capacity of 260,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by PT Pertamina (Persero) . By capacity it ranks #2 of 8 oil refineries tracked in Indonesia. It emits about 2,494,736 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 581,524 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 14% above the median refinery.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 260,000 BBL per day Pertamina Balikpapan Refinery — это значительно выше медианная refinery в Indonesia (120,000 BBL per day). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 25% 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.
