RefineryUnited KingdomCO₂ reported

INEOS Grangemouth Refinery is a refinery in United Kingdom with a reported capacity of 150,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. By capacity it ranks #5 of 6 oil refineries tracked in United Kingdom. It emits about 1,376,432 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 320,847 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 9% above the median refinery.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 150,000 BBL per day INEOS Grangemouth Refinery — це нижче медіана refinery у United Kingdom (221,000 BBL per day). Підсектор: oil-and-gas-refining. Як refinery, воно вимагає високотемпературного технологічного тепла (зазвичай 200–600°C) для основних промислових операцій — тепла, яке повинне подаватися котлами, печами або прямим спаленням, і втрати через неізольовані судини та трубопроводи представляють витрачене напразно паливо. Знімна модульна теплоізоляція може зменшити ці втрати на 80–96%, охолодивши поверхню обладнання до ≤45°C, з окупністю часто менше 2 років. Нафтопереробні заводи нагрівають, фракціонують і хімічно трансформують сиру нафту у паливо та нафтохімічну сировину шляхом енергомісткої дистиляції та крекінгу — надзвичайно вимогливі до генерування пари та рекуперації тепла.

Порівняння продуктивності та інтенсивності CO₂ розраховано на основі даних промислових об'єктів Climate TRACE; роль сектору заснована на інженерних довідниках.
