design of oil refineries hydrogen network using process integration principles
Authors
abstract
this paper describes the application of process integration principles to the design of oil refineries hydrogen network. in this regard, a design hierarchy as well as heuristics and required guidelines are proposed. the recommended rules compensate lack of procedure to the design and make the design process easier. the guiding principles of the design are based upon pinch technology and extending the heat integration concepts to mass integration. this research makes a designer able to maximise the amount of hydrogen recovered across the site during the design. besides, it provides an opportunity for refineries to make most efficient use of hydrogen. the study is illustrated with an industrial case study. the work stages such as targeting, simulation etc. are performed in the refopt software environment. it is finally shown that this approach can design a network, which saves the total cost by $ 6.3459 million per year.

full textassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
Modeling and Experimental Prediction of Wastewater Treatment Efficiency in Oil Refineries Using Activated Sludge Process
In this study, activated sludge process for wastewater treatment in a refinery was investigated. For such purpose, a laboratory scale rig was built. The effect of several parameters such as temperature, residence time, effect of Leca (filling-in percentage of the reactor by Leca) and UV radiation on COD removal efficiency were experimentally examined. Maximum COD removal efficiency was obtained...
full textDesign principles for process modelling in enterprise application integration
There is a growing need for Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) technologies, which align the applications of an organisation to its business processes. Such technologies require an adequate methodological support so that well-structured and easily understandable models can be constructed. In this paper, such a methodological support is proposed by introducing principles for the design, va...
