Idemitsu Hokkaido Refinery

Idemitsu Hokkaido Refinery is a refinery in Japan with a reported capacity of 150,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Idemitsu Kosan Co Ltd. By capacity it ranks #9 of 21 oil refineries tracked in Japan. It emits about 1,644,550 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 383,345 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 30% above the median refinery.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

150,000 BBL per day'de, Idemitsu Hokkaido 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.
