Implementation IRPC prioritized efficient resource use and environmental impact reduction, under taking projects to mitigate environmental impact such as energy efficiency, air quality and odor management, water resource management, wastewater management, waste management, and complaint resolution to ensure the company’s continuous and sustainable growth. Energy Consumption Efficiency IRPC has set energy reduction targets, including a goal of limiting consumption to 57.1 million gigajoules by 2025 and an energy consumption efficiency target of 83% by 2030, as well as long-term management plans, in order to achieve industry-leading performance. In response, several energy conservation projects aimed at increasing energy efficiency have been implemented. Some of the notable projects and achievements include: • ADU2 Oil line cleaning of Heat exchangers 41E013A/B and 41E024A/B ADU2 of IRPC Oil refinery helps promoting energy efficiency by cleaning both heat exchangers No.41E013A/B and 41E024A/B in oil line. ADU2 discovered the efficiency of heat transfer of Heat Exchanger deteriorate. This degraded heat exchanger performance stems from fouling or aging deposits on surfaces of heat exchanger. Heat exchanger is designed to transfer heat to crude oil before flowing into a fractionating column. Deposits weaken a heat exchanger’s heat-transfer capacity and extra fuel for furnace requires to keep compensate for gaps in the target temperature. Then, ADU2 disassembled and cleaned both heat exchangers No.41E013A/B and 41E024A/B. As a result, the temperature of crude oil from preheated furnace increased by 10 ๐C which can save heat energy by 10,002,176 Megajoules per year. On the other hand, ADU2 can save fuel cost by 39 million baht per year and reduce Greenhouse gas emissions of 640 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (tCO2eq).)
