Arctic Slope Valdez Refinery

Arctic Slope Valdez Refinery is a refinery in United States with a reported capacity of 62,500 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Arctic Slope Regional Corp. By capacity it ranks #87 of 134 oil refineries tracked in United States. It emits about 394,652 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 91,993 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 25% below the median refinery.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

62,500 BBL per day'de, Arctic Slope Valdez Refinery United States'daki refinery'lerin medyanı altında 93,500 BBL per day'dir. Kapasite başına CO₂'si refinery'nin medyanı altında kabaca 35%'dir. Alt sektör: oil-and-gas-refining. refinery olarak, temel endüstriyel işlemleri için yoğun proses ısısı (tipik olarak 200–600°C) gerektirir — kazanlar, fırınlar veya doğrudan yanma ile sağlanması gereken ısı, ve izolasyon yapılmamış kaplar ve boruların kayıpları harcanan yakıtı temsil eder. Modüler çıkarılabilir yalıtım bu kayıpları %80–96 oranında azaltabilir, yüzeyleri ≤45°C'ye soğutabilir, geri ödeme süresi genellikle 2 yıldan azdır. Rafineriler, enerji yoğun destilasyon ve kraking yoluyla ham petrolü yakıtlara ve petrokimya hammaddelerine ısıtır, fraksiyonlar ve kimyasal olarak dönüştürür — buhar üretimi ve ısı geri kazanımı için son derece taleplidir.

Kapasite ve CO₂ yoğunluğu karşılaştırması Climate TRACE endüstriyel tesis verilerinden hesaplanmıştır; sektör rolü mühendislik referansına dayanmaktadır.
