В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 120,000 BBL per day SOCAR Heydar Aliyev Baku Refinery — это примерно медианная refinery в Azerbaijan (120,000 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.
