SK Ulsan Refinery is a refinery in South Korea with a reported capacity of 781,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by SK Inc. By capacity it ranks #1 of 9 oil refineries tracked in South Korea. It emits about 7,295,436 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 1,700,568 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 11% above the median refinery.
Facility data: Climate TRACE v6 (asset-level capacity & CO₂e, CC BY 4.0), id ct-1753673.
781,000 BBL per day'de, SK Ulsan Refinery South Korea'daki refinery'lerin medyanı çok üstünde 256,000 BBL per day'dir. Kapasite başına CO₂'si refinery'nin medyanı üstünde kabaca 65%'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.
