Steam Utility Systems Are Not "Business as Usual" for Chemical Process Simulators

Mar 14, 2011
Jonathan Currie
The operating costs of a typical refinery utility system are so significant that small operational improvements can result in large annual savings. This paper introduces a new utility modelling package designed for PETRONAS to allow in-house modelling and optimization of their refinery and...

New Continuous Coking Process

Mar 14, 2011
Douglas W. Sullivan
NEW CONTINUOUS COKING PROCESS A new coking process can accept resid feed from the conventional resid heater in a coking plant and continuously discharge vapor and dry petroleum coke particles. The process promotes a rapid recovery of volatiles from the resid enabling recovery of more volatiles. It...

Power System Design for a Hybrid Fuel Cell Vehicle: A Globally Optimal Approach

Mar 13, 2011
Syed Kaschif Ahmed
The notion of a fuel cell powered vehicle has captured the imagination of many as a clean/efficient alternative to the internal combustion engine. However, the capital cost of a fuel cell power unit is significant, and threatens to be a show-stopping hurtle. As such, many have looked to hybridize...

CO2 Tolerant N2 Rejection From Natural Gas

Mar 13, 2011
Heinz C. Bauer
Associated gas from the oil industry has been flared for decades. The prevailing attitude towards CO 2 emissions and other pollutants requires smart approaches to processing low BTU gases in a cost effective and environmentally responsible manner. The injection of nitrogen into oil reservoirs for...

The success in Shale and other unconventional formations has dramatically expanded the N. American Natural Gas reserves and promises to also do so in many other parts of the world. New LNG liquefaction capacity in the Middle East and Asia along with additional large scale capacity from Australia...

Fundamentals of Alarm Management

Mar 13, 2011
Peter G. Herena
When the information era began thirty years ago, the focus for the refinery control specialist was placing as much data as possible into the hands of engineers and operators. The philosophy remained prevalent though the volume of transferred data leaped by orders of magnitude every decade...

Mercury Removal From Gaseous and Liquid Hydrocarbons

Mar 13, 2011
Neil Eckersley
Mercury is present in many of the world’s oil & gas fields and its removal and capture is important for a number of reasons: * Process plants with brazed aluminium heat exchangers are susceptible to corrosive attack by mercury * Product streams eg. naphtha are less valuable to producers when “...

Processing Heavy Crudes In Existing Refineries

Mar 13, 2011
Kevin Turini
Increasing amounts of heavy crudes are being produced, particularly in Canada and South America. The discount prices for these crudes, relative to light sweet crudes, make them attractive for refiners that can process them, particularly if they have a geographic advantage relative to the crude...
