RefinerySenegalCO₂ reported

Societe Africaine de Raffinage (SAR) Refinery is a refinery in Senegal with a reported capacity of 30,000 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Petrosen . It emits about 116,021 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 27,045 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 54% below the median refinery.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 30,000 BBL per day Societe Africaine de Raffinage (SAR) Refinery — це приблизно медіана refinery у Senegal (30,000 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.
