Analysis and Classification of Nigerian Crude Oil Types for Modular Refinery Operations

This study proposed the revampment of four major refineries and operation conventional modular in localities for efficient adequate availability petroleum products. Hence, research focused on suitability operations ofthe conventionalmodular refinery process by considering twenty (20) different types Nigerian crude oil assay analysis classification using Aspen Hysys. The results categorized as Sweet (sulphur content below 0.5wt%), Light (API value above 38), Medium type between 22 28). Also, were grouped based their percentage recovery volume at a true boiling point 3700C Group A (crude with 80% residual less than 20%), which is suitable Nigeria. In comparison, B 70% 79% percent over 20%) C 30%) are modified due to its high (above or transported via pipelines tankers further operational process.
