ENAP Bio-Bio Refinery

ENAP Bio-Bio Refinery is a refinery in Chile with a reported capacity of 116,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Empresa Nacional del Petróleo . By capacity it ranks #1 of 3 oil refineries tracked in Chile. It emits about 1,283,437 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 299,169 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 31% above the median refinery.

Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1753464.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

116,000 BBL per day'de, ENAP Bio-Bio Refinery Chile'daki refinery'lerin medyanı yaklaşık 104,000 BBL per day'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.
