RefineryPakistanCO₂ reported

National Refinery Limited (NRL) Refinery is a refinery in Pakistan with a reported capacity of 64,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Attock Oil Company Ltd. By capacity it ranks #3 of 5 oil refineries tracked in Pakistan. It emits about 226,268 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 52,743 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 58% below the median refinery.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 64,000 BBL per day National Refinery Limited (NRL) Refinery — це приблизно медіана refinery у Pakistan (64,000 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.
