BPCL Kochi Refinery

BPCL Kochi Refinery is a refinery in India with a reported capacity of 311,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. By capacity it ranks #3 of 22 oil refineries tracked in India. It emits about 3,469,260 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 808,685 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 32% above the median refinery.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

311,000 BBL per day'de, BPCL Kochi Refinery India'daki refinery'lerin medyanı çok üstünde 210,000 BBL per day'dir. Kapasite başına CO₂'si refinery'nin medyanı altında kabaca 21%'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.
