investigation of crude oil fouling on performance of preheat exchangers of crude distillation unit (cdu)

in this article the effect of fouling on tube side and the overall performance of preheat exchangers of crude distillation unit of petroleum refinery have been investigated. for this purpose the experimental data of australian light crude oil in surface temperature of 200-260oc and the velocity between 0.25 to 0.4 m/s have been used. first, an overall dirty heat transfer coefficient was calcula...

An Evaluation of a Progressive Crude Oil Distillation Scheme

A crude distillation unit model suitable for online applications

A steady state, multicomponent distillation model particularly suited for fractionation of crude oil has been developed based on equilibrium stage relations. For a mixture of C components, the present formulation uses Cq3 iteration variables namely the mole fractions of the components, temperature, total liquid and total vapor flow rates on each stage. This choice of variables makes the present...

Neural Network Controller for a Crude Oil Distillation Column

The development of neural network that could be used for the control of an industrial process is discussed. Field data from a working distillation column or fractionator of crude oil refinery in Nigeria was used for the development and testing the effectiveness of the controller. The developed controller performed optimally when compared with the installed distributed control system based on pr...

Dynamic Simulation and Control: Application to Atmospheric Distillation Unit of Crude Oil Refinery

Nowadays dynamic simulation has become a key tool in the study of the behaviour of almost every process. The benefits that proper modelling can bring to any industry have a very high value, especially one that cannot be directly measured, which is the increase of knowledge about the process. The simulation allows the study of transient states of complex processes without the need of leading the...
