STAR Aliaga Oil Refinery

STAR Aliaga Oil Refinery is a refinery in Türkiye with a reported capacity of 240,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic . By capacity it ranks #1 of 5 oil refineries tracked in Türkiye. It emits about 2,720,977 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 634,260 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 34% above the median refinery.

В контексте: как это предприятие сравнивается

На мощности 240,000 BBL per day STAR Aliaga Oil Refinery — это примерно медианная refinery в Türkiye (226,000 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.
