Supply chain management in the petroleum industry contains various challenges, specifically in the logistics area, that are not present in most other industries. These logistical challenges are a major influence on the cost of oil and its derivatives. However, opportunities for cost savings in logistics still do exist. Giant oil and petrochemical companies are undertaking a “swap” practice that...

This data is obtained from analyzing the concentration of metals include Al, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mo, Pb, and Zn in the urine of schoolchildren in Asalouyeh city in vicinity to a heavily industrialized site and comparison with a reference city. The significance of sex groups on urine metal level was evaluated through this data. The urinary content of metals was measured by inductively coupled plasma...

In this study, the ambient concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were intensively measured from January 2012 to December 2016 using an evacuated canister and analyzed a gas chromatography/mass spectrophotometer (GC/MS) based on US EPA TO-15 in community industrial areas largest petroleum refinery petrochemical complex Map Ta Phut Thailand. The ternary diagram was used identify sou...

Financial efficiency evaluations in a network system, considering intermediate products, nowadays consideres great importance for managers. In the process of doing business analysis, each stage of in a network is of particular importance. In this paper, with the help of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the performance of a network with feedbacks are considerd. In this assessment, financia...

Abstract Most refinery and petrochemical reaction furnaces are operated under harsh conditions characterized by high pressures, temperature, aggressiveness of the process environment. The temperature features heated raw material contribute to formation deposition coke on surface furnace pipes, which through adhesion diffusion phenomena has a negative effect reduces operational reliability entir...

Reasons for Blending Crude Oils at a Refinery Oil refineries, and especially their on-process units that process the primary crude feed stocks, are not uniform in either design or operation. The refinery process units and the combination of units built and in service at a given refinery location are part of a plan to accommodate a certain slate of crudes based on their properties. These decisio...

In 2005, a 60 kt/a alkylation (ALK) unit began to resume production in the Second Oil Refinery Plant of Beijing Yanshan Petrochemical Company. There have been many leak cases from pipeline welds, valve body, flange, etc. After half-year period operation, process is stable. However, operation hydrofluoric (HF) acid ALK has suffered corrosion problems. are no clear answers and references followin...
