YPF la Plata Refinery is a refinery in Argentina with a reported capacity of 189,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by YPF SA. By capacity it ranks #1 of 8 oil refineries tracked in Argentina. It emits about 2,486,569 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 579,620 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 56% above the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-3143723.
На мощности 189,000 BBL per day YPF la Plata Refinery — это значительно выше медианная refinery в Argentina (100,000 BBL per day). Его выброс CO₂ на единицу мощности примерно на 29% 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.
