INOC Kasak Refinery

INOC Kasak Refinery is a refinery in Iraq with a reported capacity of 10,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Iraq National Oil Co. By capacity it ranks #14 of 14 oil refineries tracked in Iraq. It emits about 23,594 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 5,500 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 72% below the median refinery.

Bağlamda: bu tesis nasıl karşılaştırılır

10,000 BBL per day'de, INOC Kasak Refinery Iraq'daki refinery'lerin medyanı altında 40,000 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.

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