Application of the Self-Heat Recuperation Technology to Crude Oil Distillation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Crude oil distillation (atmospheric distillation column with furnace) consumes about 50% of the energy required in oil refinery plant. To achieve further reduction of the energy required in oil refinery plants, it is required to investigate the crude oil distillation and to retrofit it for energy saving process. Recently, authors developed an innovative process design technology, self-heat recuperation technology for energy saving. In this research, the crude oil distillation with exergy analysis and the feasibility for application of the self-heat recuperation technology have been investigated, and develop the self-heat recuperative crude oil distillation

Application of Threshold Model with Various Tube Wall Temperatures for Crude Oil Preheat Train Fouling
The Propose of this paper is to introduce a new model for crude oil fouling in preheat trains of crude distillation unit. The experimental results of Australian light crude oil with the tube side surface temperatures between 200-260 oC and fluid velocity ranged 0.25 to 0.4m/s were used. The activation energy of chemical reaction depends on the surface temperature has been calcula...

The distillation unit is one of the main units in refning companies, and it serves as the mother unit in any refnery with any degree of complexity. The optimization of this unit can increase productivity. In this study, the vacuum distillation unit of a refnery was selected as the case study. The shares of different expenses of this unit were clarifed using a novel material flow cost accoun...
متن کاملA Review on Crude Oil Fouling and Mitigation Methods in Pre-heat Trains of Iranian Oil Refineries
Crude oil fouling of the equipment surfaces is a troublesome issue which leads to operating difficulties, economic penalties, increased environmental impacts, and health and safety hazards in petroleum industry. With a rough estimation, a minimum cost of equal to 4 million barrels of oil/year is required to be invested to offset the costs of crude oil fouling in Pre-heat Trains of Iranian oil r...
