Oil Refineries

Process crude oil through atmospheric towers, vacuum towers, hydrofiners, crude light ends units, hydroformers, & gerbitol units using TDC-2000 to view operations and make adjustments in pressures, levels, temperatures, & flows to meet product specifications for customers.

So people wont DIE

this is off spec fuel product which is normally reprocessed

Marsden Point Oil Refinery is a refinery located at Marsden Point, Whangarei, Northland, New Zealand. It is the only oil refinery in New Zealand, and is operated by Refining NZ.

No, although Lukoil had plans to construct one which it abandoned in 2006. The nearest refineries to Kaliningrad are Gdańsk (owned by Grupa Lotos), Płock and Mažeikių (both PKN Orlen).

Petroleum coke is cheaper than coal; therefore, the economics of the process can be improved by substituting coke for coal. Petroleum coke cannot simply be substituted 100% for coal due to hardness issues and combustibility issues. Usually an existing plant may use petroleum coke as a 20% substitute for existing coal use.

This results in problems. Now your workers have to handle both coal and coke separately and ensure the intended blend ratio is maintained in order to maintain operability.

There are specific materials handling issues than can make the discount less advantageous than is immediately apparent. Equipment such as cranes, conveyors, and crushers may frequently break down and may need to be spared in order to keep the process running. Also if the source of the petroleum coke is not locally available supply disruptions may occur based on price changes in petroleum coke (or in bunker fuel or marine diesel oil (MDO) which is used by the ships that carry coke). For instance shipping petroleum coke from the United States to China is only economical when petroleum coke is above a certain price is China.

Petroleum coke may also increase the SOx (sulfur dioxide or sulfur trioxide) emissions from the plant. Options to mitigate the emissions impact include buying higher priced, lower sulfur coal and/or coke to blend into the fuel mix. This negatively affects the economics of the original planned coke substitution.

In the case of a grassroots project designed to burn petroleum coke (such as a circulating fluidized boiler, (CFB) ), the economics can be much more favorable. Even in this case environmental permitting issues and petroleum coke supply issues should be evaluated before starting the project. Due to recent concerns with carbon dioxide regulations and ever more strict sulfur emissions regulations, permitting solid fuel boilers has become more difficult throughout the world; however, the economics of using petroleum coke can still pay off depending on the required payback period of the project.

The specific gravity of palmolein oil typically ranges from 0.914 to 0.920 at 25°C. It may vary slightly depending on factors such as temperature and purity of the oil.

180000 barrels a day maximum. Normally runs about 150000

The reflux is the return of top product condensate from a distillation column back to the top of the column where it is able to flow down the column aiding with cooling and thus condensation in the column. It increases efficiency and enables a lower amount of theoretical plates to be used in the column.

because crude oil is mostly found near sea coast.

Not necessarily. It's more to take crude-oil brought in, and to export refined products, by ships.

When Great Britain took over palestine and France took over Seryia

The flash point of kerosenes is between 35 0C and 65 0C.

The autoignition point of kerosenes is 220 0C.

Yes I believe they do because they are sitting on one of the largest oil deposits in the world.

it seems to be that its a oil obtained from refining of palm oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acid and antioxidant vitamins and is widely used as oil in diet in many parts of the world including India. http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2210/4/29

A hydrotreater is a chemical engineering plant that normally deals with hydro treating. Hydro treating is the process of removing sulphur from the unfinished products. This process is more often used in refining petroleum products.

As of 2023, Iraq has a total of five operational oil refineries, with the largest being the Baiji refinery. These refineries have a combined capacity of over 600,000 barrels per day, although actual production can vary due to various factors, including security issues and infrastructure challenges. The country is also working on expanding its refining capacity to meet domestic fuel demands and reduce reliance on imports.

The natural oils dried out

The petroleum industry often characterizes crude oils according to their geographical source, e.g., Alaska North Slope Crude. Oils from different geographical areas have their own unique properties; they can vary in consistency from a light volatile fluid to a semi-solid. Classification of crude oil types by geographical source is generally not a useful classification scheme for response personnel, because general toxicity, physical state, and changes that occur with time and weathering are not primary considerations. Rather, the classification scheme provided below is more useful in a response scenario. Class A: Light, Volatile Oils. These oils are highly fluid, often clear, spread rapidly on solid or water surfaces, have a strong odor, a high evaporation rate, and are usually flammable. They penetrate porous surfaces such as dirt and sand, and may be persistent in such a matrix. They do not tend to adhere to surfaces; flushing with water generally removes them. Class A oils may be highly toxic to humans, fish, and other biota. Most refined products and many of the highest quality light crudes can be included in this class. Class B: Non-Sticky Oils.These oils have a waxy or oily feel. Class B oils are less toxic and adhere more firmly to surfaces than Class A oils, although they can be removed from surfaces by vigorous flushing. As temperatures rise, their tendency to penetrate porous substrates increases and they can be persistent. Evaporation of volatiles may lead to a Class C or D residue. Medium to heavy paraffin-based oils fall into this class. Class C: Heavy, Sticky Oils. Class C oils are characteristically viscous, sticky or tarry, and brown or black. Flushing with water will not readily remove this material from surfaces, but the oil does not readily penetrate porous surfaces. The density of Class C oils may be near that of water and they often sink. Weathering or evaporation of volatiles may produce solid or tarry Class D oil. Toxicity is low, but wildlife can be smothered or drowned when contaminated. This class includes residual fuel oils and medium to heavy crudes. Class D: Nonfluid Oils. Class D oils are relatively non-toxic, do not penetrate porous substrates, and are usually black or dark brown in color. When heated, Class D oils may melt and coat surfaces that become very difficult to clean. Residual oils, heavy crude oils, some high paraffin oils, and some weathered oils fall into this class. These classifications are dynamic for spilled oils ... weather conditions and water temperature greatly influence the behavior of oil and refined petroleum products in the environment. For example, as volatiles evaporate from a Class B oil, it may become a Class C oil. If a significant temperature drop occurs (e.g., at night), a Class C oil may solidify and resemble a Class D oil. Upon warming, the Class D oil may revert back to a Class C oil.

Refinery planning is the process of optimizing the operations and production schedules of a petroleum refinery to maximize efficiency, profitability, and compliance with environmental regulations. It involves analyzing the input crude oil types, selecting processing methods, managing inventory, and coordinating maintenance activities. Effective refinery planning balances the refinery's capacity with market demand and feedstock availability, ensuring optimal product yield and quality. This strategic approach helps refineries adapt to changing market conditions and improve overall performance.
