Technology, describe how taking an integrated approach to energy performance early in the design phase can deliver significant improvements in refinery energy efficiency. E nergy is the second single largest component of variable refinery operating expense, representing some 40-50% of total operating costs, excluding the cost of purchasing raw crude. Fuel and power consumption is also directly ...

This paper aims to assess the environmental efficiency of refineries in the public sector with emphasis on generated effluents and water consumption in the production process. In order to conduct this research, the addressed method was quantitative with a qualitative approach to the environmental aspects of controllable and uncontrollable variables imp...

A mathematical model for commercial naphtha catalytic reformer of Tehran refinery was developed. This model includes three sequencing fixed beds of Pt/Al2O3 catalyst at the steady state condition using detailed kinetic scheme involving 26 pseudo-components connected by a network of 47 reactions, in the range of C6 to C9 hydrocarbons. The reaction network consisted dehydrogenation, hydrogenation...

with regard to the importance of scientific decision-making in power plants prioritization to produce electrical energy (power) from renewable energies (purified), in this paper, research with specialists opinions with respond to questionnaires provided upon three efficient operational criterion in position of three presented power plant in country which used wind, solar water energies for prod...

he 1980s brought changing trends into the waste market with increased reclamation, T recycling and waste minimization efforts. Adapting proven tcchnologies has aided in moving these three forms of waste managcment forward. A t EncycleITexas, Inc. (ETI), the fundamental objcctive of recycling is to convert hazardous waste into products. Founded in 1988, ET1 recycles metalbearing waste streams to...

The monitoring and performance evaluation studies were carried out for an effluent treatment plant of a refinery located in the western region of India. The samples from the inlet and outlet locations of ETP were collected at regular intervals and were analyzed for different parameters. The pH, oil & grease, BOD, COD, suspended solids were found to be reduced significantly, where as the pH of t...

In this paper, a multi-objective optimization method is implemented by using of genetic algorithm techniques in order to determine optimum configuration of solar chimney power plant. The objective function which is simultaneously considered in the analysis is output power of the plant. Output power of the system is maximized. Design parameters of the considered plant include collector radius (R...
