RefineryAlgeriaCO₂ reported

Sonatrach Adrar Refinery is a refinery in Algeria with a reported capacity of 12,082 BBL per day. It processes crude oil into fuels and petrochemical feedstocks through distillation, cracking and reforming. It is operated by Sonatrach SpA. By capacity it ranks #6 of 6 oil refineries tracked in Algeria. It emits about 120,721 tonnes of CO₂e per year (Climate TRACE) — roughly the tailpipe emissions of 28,140 cars. Its CO₂ per unit of capacity is about 18% above the median refinery.

У контексті: як порівнюється це підприємство

При потужності 12,082 BBL per day Sonatrach Adrar Refinery — це нижче медіана refinery у Algeria (75,513 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.
