SK Ulsan Refinery is a refinery in South Korea with a reported capacity of 781,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by SK Inc. By capacity it ranks #1 of 9 oil refineries tracked in South Korea. It emits about 7,295,436 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,700,568 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 11% above the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1753673.
На мощности 781,000 BBL per day SK Ulsan Refinery — это значительно выше медианная refinery в South Korea (256,000 BBL per day). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 65% 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.
