Cosmo Oil Chiba Refinery

Cosmo Oil Chiba Refinery is a refinery in Japan with a reported capacity of 177,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Cosmo Oil . By capacity it ranks #6 of 21 oil refineries tracked in Japan. It emits about 1,940,569 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 452,347 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 30% above the median refinery.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

177,000 BBL per day'de, Cosmo Oil Chiba Refinery Japan'daki refinery'lerin medyanı yaklaşık 145,000 BBL per day'dir. Kapasite başına CO₂'si refinery'nin medyanı üstünde kabaca 28%'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.
