RefineryLibyaCO₂ reported

NOC El-Brega Refinery is a refinery in Libya 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 National Oil Corp. By capacity it ranks #5 of 5 oil refineries tracked in Libya. It emits about 53,535 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 12,479 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 37% below the median refinery.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 10,000 BBL per day NOC El-Brega Refinery — це нижче медіана refinery у Libya (20,000 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.
