RefinerySingaporeCO₂ reported

Singapore Refining Corporation Refinery is a refinery in Singapore with a reported capacity of 290,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. By capacity it ranks #2 of 3 oil refineries tracked in Singapore. It emits about 2,337,565 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 544,887 cars.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 290,000 BBL per day Singapore Refining Corporation Refinery — це приблизно медіана refinery у Singapore (290,000 BBL per day). Його викидання CO₂ на одиницю потужності приблизно на 15% нижче 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.

Heat loss & insulation profile

A refinery like this runs hot equipment that sheds heat continuously: crude & vacuum distillation columns, fired heaters, heat exchangers, steam lines, valves & flanges (surface/process temperatures around 150–550 °C). These surfaces lose energy to the air year-round; removable modular insulation cuts that loss, brings outer surfaces to ≤45 °C, and unclips for inspection.

Indicative recoverable energy

On an already-insulated site (pipes & valves in cladding / jackets), closing the remaining gaps, flanges and damaged sections and switching to removable covers indicatively recovers about 62,000 MWh/yr (≈ 12,000 t CO₂/yr) — scaled to this site's reported CO₂ within its sector. Bare or damaged surfaces recover several times more.

See Inzonex insulation → Estimate your site →

Indicative, not a measurement. Conservative floor for an already-insulated plant; a TIPCHECK on-site audit gives a measured figure. Industry context: EiiF TIPCHECK — industrial insulation can save ~14 Mtoe/yr in EU, payback typically <2 years.

Safety & the no-regret first step

Bare hot surfaces here exceed the touch-safe limit (EN ISO 13732-1); insulation to ≤45 °C is a worker-safety and compliance win. And before electrification, fuel-switching or CCS, eliminating surface heat loss is the cheapest, fastest, lowest-risk step — audit the bare spots first, rip-and-replace later.
