RefineryUnited StatesCO₂ reported

Marathon Detroit Refifnery is a refinery in United States with a reported capacity of 144,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Marathon Petroleum Corp. By capacity it ranks #50 of 134 oil refineries tracked in United States. It emits about 1,543,396 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 359,766 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 27% above the median refinery.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 144,000 BBL per day Marathon Detroit Refifnery — це значно вище медіана refinery у United States (93,500 BBL per day). Його викидання CO₂ на одиницю потужності приблизно на 11% вище медіани refinery. 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.
