Abstract:
Manufacturers and processors are improving the energy efficiency of their plant motor-driven systems by as much as 30 percent under the auspices of the Motor Challenge program of the US Department of Energy (DOE). Among the facilities that are beneficiaries of the Motor Challenge are a Chevron petroleum refinery in Richmond, California, a Cummins Engine diesel engine assembly plant in Columbus, IN, and a Blue Circle quarry in Lithonia, GA. Petroleum refineries are prime candidates for improvement in energy efficiency; roughly 40 percent of their operating cost is incurred by energy demands. Chevron, one of the largest petroleum refiners in the United States, operates six gasoline-producing refineries, including one in Richmond, CA. McBroom Electric used the DOE's MotorMaster+ software to perform the audit. The audit forecast a short payback period for replacing standard motors withenergy efficient models. Blue Circle now uses MotorMaster+ at its cement plant and several ready-mix facilities to evaluate replacement motor purchases based on life cycle costs instead of initial costs.

Abstract:
With domestic refining capacity falling behind domestic demand, imports have taken on a new role: smoothing out any mismatches between gasoline supply and demand. Gasoline is sold on a worldwide spot market, and international refiners know that every gallon of gasoline will be bought by someone, somewhere. Some 40 percent of American gas imports now come from Western Europe. European refiners are looking to solve this problem by switching refining technologies. Hydrocracking, which is a high-pressure process that relies on hydrogen to saturate various products, will enable them to make more diesel from a given barrel of petroleum, and less gasoline. The change in American fuel standards has tilted the playing field for would-be exporters. The reduction in sulfur content has taken many refineries in South America out of the running as suppliers of gasoline to the United States. Until these refineries make the necessary upgrade, imports may be restricted to advanced, First World refineries, such as Total’s and Irving’s facilities. The EIA projects that Western Europe will remain a dominant exporter of gasoline to the United States for at least another decade due to its high-tech refineries and its proximity to East Coast ports.

Abstract:
Despite the abundance of occurring natural crude oil resources, Nigeria continually suffers shortages of refined petroleum products, which undermines economic development of the country. The purpose of this multicase study was to explore the strategic role of how investment in petroleum refineries and infrastructures can improve supply and hence mitigate shortages or scarcity of refined petroleum products in the petroleum supply chain and enhance economic development in Nigeria. The research participants comprise of ten senior leaders from two private-sector Nigerian downstream petroleum supply companies located in the Niger Delta region, who had effectively implemented strategies for petroleum supply. The conceptual framework for the study was the resource based view theory. Data were collected through semistructured face-to-face interviews and review of operational and policy documents from the supply or marketing petroleum companies. Data were transcribed, analyzed, and validated through member checking and triangulation. The discoveries indicate the need to establish more refineries, privatize the existing moribund refineries, and build more infrastructures in Nigeria. Findings may be used by petroleum leaders and investors to optimize available crude oil natural resources, and to create investment strategies in the petroleum supply chain, leading to product availability, sustainability, poverty reduction, and economic development in Nigeria.

Abstract:
_ This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 211932, “Imperatives of Modular Refineries and Their Impact on Product Availability in Nigeria,” by Evelyn Bose Ekeinde and Adewale Dosunmu, SPE, Federal University Otuoke, and Diepiriye Chenaboso Okujagu, University of Port Harcourt, et al. The paper has not been peer reviewed. _ Nigeria is rich in crude oil, with a proven reserve of 37 billion bbl. Despite the abundance of this resource, Nigeria has lacked the capacity to meet the country’s demand for petroleum products locally and has resorted to their importation. Establishing conventional refineries is highly capital-intensive, and they take a significant amount of time to build and commission. The modular refinery option is a less capital-intensive alternative. The complete paper discusses the promise of modular refineries and their potential effects on the availability of petroleum products in Nigeria. Introduction Despite its large reserves of crude oil and a combined in-country refining capacity of 445,000 B/D from four state-owned refineries, Nigeria has been plagued with challenges in local refinement. These refineries have operated grossly below installed capacity for decades, operating at a capacity hovering between 15 and 25%. The inability to harness local refining to meet demands for petroleum products has turned Nigeria into a net importer. Modular Refineries A modular refinery is a processing plant composed entirely of skid-mounted structures, each of which comprises a part of the entire processing plant. Various components are connected through interstitial pipes to create a highly manageable process. They are smaller than conventional refineries, with processing capacities ranging from 1,000 to 30,000 B/D. Essentially, modular refineries are mini-refineries. Modular topping plants or crude distillation units are the most straightforward and cost-effective method of extracting valuable fuels from crude oil. Within 14 months of contract execution, a topping plant can be operational, providing host communities with vital fuels for automobiles, power generation, and job possibilities. Furthermore, construction of a modular refinery is less capital-intensive, ranging from $1 million to $15 million, compared with a conventional refinery, which could cost up to hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, depending on the refinery’s complexity and configuration. Many configurations featuring different degrees of sophistication exist for modular mini-refineries. They include the following: - Atmospheric topping unit—This is an inexpensive distillation unit that can make diesel and kerosene from raw crude oil. Naphtha and fuel oil also can be byproducts. - Topping unit with gasoline train—This option features the addition of regenerative agents or hydrotherapy, thus producing high-octane unleaded gasoline and high-octane liquefied petroleum gas. This configuration can put together isomerization units to make more premium unleaded gasoline. It also can make more gasoline with a higher octane rating. - Vacuum distillation unit—The addition of a second distillation tower to separate the fuel components from the atmospheric tower results in clean heavy diesel (vacuum gas oil) and dirty heavy residual oil. - Hydrocracker unit, full conversion—The hydrocracker unit (which has a high capital cost) transforms light and heavy gas oils into more-marketable products with a lower boiling point. The yield of a hydrocracker unit may add to the profitability of a refinery.

Abstract:
Thesis (MTech (Electrical Engineering))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2012.
Electric motors consume over 60% of the world's generated electricity. In South Africa approximately 65% of the energy generated is consumed by electric motors (Niekerk, 2009). About 95% of motors in use in South Africa are Standard-Efficient Motors (SE-motors) that operate at an average efficiency of 84% to 90%, depending on the size of the motor and the load driven by them. High-Efficient motors (HE-motor) run at an efficiency of 2% to 8% higher than that of SE-motors. In recent years, a drive to replace SE-motors with HE-motors has been promoted for the purpose of Demand Side Management (DSM). The rationale of using HE-motors as a tool of DSM is to harness a small difference in operating efficiency per motor, which can result in a huge reduction in electricity consumption, depending on the number of HE-motors that will replace SE-motors. Reducing the demand for electricity is the key driving factor for DSM in South Africa, so as to relieve the already stressed power generation capacity. Other consequential factors of DSM are to reduce the amount of pollutant gases emitted into the atmosphere. To the electricity users DSM will be a great incentive, as reduced consumption of electricity will decrease the amount of money spent on electricity. Much has been written on the ability of HE-motors to reduce electricity consumption, cost of electricity and global pollution. ESKOM has even demonstrated the faith they have in these motors by giving rebates to motor users who are willing to exchange their existing SE-motors with new HE-motors. The rebates are paid by ESKOM through a newly established DSM program. However, it must be mentioned that savings through HE-motors is not a perfect guarantee. HE-motors have inherent design limitations that may inhibit the saving of energy. To achieve higher efficiency, HE-motors are designed to operate on a smaller slip that consequently increases their speed compared to that of SE-motors (Cheek et al., 1995). Higher rotor speed impacts energy saving abilities of HE-motors when they are used to drive fans, pumps and compressors, normally referred to as centrifugal loads. An increase in speed results in a proportional increase in flow. Power consumed by a motor goes up as a cube of the speed, and the flow rate increases linearly with speed. Motor loads in the petrochemical industry are generally centrifugal, and that is why this thesis focuses on refineries.

Abstract:
The study analyses the relative separation of the effects of changes in a nation's dollar exchange rate and crude oil's dollar price on a country's short-run crude oil derived demand. It examines the role of the dollar exchange rate on domestic and international petroleum flows and discusses the short-run inefficiencies that occur due to adjustment times in a country's domestic petroleum market. A four-equation, structural model of a country's short-run petroleum demand function for its two petroleum flows (crude oil and imported product) was used. Using the translog function, estimates of direct and indirect dollar exchange rate effects were estimated. To account for the role of a nation's refinery industry on international petroleum flows, a measure of the industry's flexibility was developed. The industry is said to be flexible when it can alter its inputs' naturally occurring product fractions to more closely meet the country's final demand. The index developed in this study measures the industry's increase in its output product slate's weighted average API, relative to the weighted average API of its crude oil and feedstocks inputs, adjusted for the crude oil's naturally occurring product fractions.

Abstract:
The influence of catalyst characteristics, i.e., acidity and porosity on the product distribution in the cracking of triglyceride-rich biomass under fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) conditions is reported. It has found that the degradation degree of triglyceride molecules is strongly dependent on the catalysts’ acidity. The higher density of acid sites enhances the conversion of triglycerides to lighter products such as gaseous products and gasoline-range hydrocarbons. The formation of gasolinerange aromatics and light olefins (propene and ethene) is favored in the medium pore channel of H-ZSM-5. On the other hand, heavier olefins such as gasoline-range and C4 olefins are formed preferentially in the large pore structure of zeolite Y based FCC catalyst (Midas-BSR). With both catalysts, triglyceride molecules are mainly converted to a mixture of hydrocarbons, which can be used as liquid fuels and platform chemicals. Hence, the utilization of the existing FCC units in conventional petroleum refineries for processing of triglyceride based feedstock, in particular waste cooking oil may open the way for production of renewable liquid fuels and chemicals in the near future

Abstract:
Naphthenic acids (NAs) are carboxylic acids found in crude oil and petroleum products. The objectives of the research presented here were to: a) assess the occurrence and fate of NAs in crude oil and refinery wastewater streams; b) evaluate the biotransformation potential and inhibitory effects of NAs under nitrifying, denitrifying and methanogenic/fermentative conditions; c) investigate the factors affecting NA biotransformation under aerobic conditions and the microbes involved; and d) assess the toxicity of individual model NAs using quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) and examine the effect of structure on NA biotransformation potential. NAs are ubiquitous in refinery wastewater streams and the desalter brine was found to be the main source of NAs in refinery wastewater. A commercial NA mixture was not biodegraded under nitrate-reducing or methanogenic/fermentative conditions. NAs were degraded under aerobic conditions by an NA-enriched culture; however, a residual fraction was not degraded under all conditions studied. The results indicated that NAs are not inherently recalcitrant and the residual fraction was due to the individual NA concentrations being below the minimum substrate concentrations at which they are no longer degraded. A fraction of the NA mixture was completely mineralized to carbon dioxide, with the remaining portion biotransformed to more oxidized intermediates. Overall, the results indicated that NAs were degraded under aerobic conditions; however, biological treatment of NA-bearing wastewater will not completely remove NA concentrations and thus, biological treatment must be combined with physical/chemical treatment to achieve complete NA removal.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO
As concentrações de arsênio em óleo cru podem variar de 10 a 30 mg kg-1. O selênio é encontrado em efluentes da indústria petrolífera, devido a sua presença no óleo cru, entre 0.03 - 1.4 mg.L-1 dependendo de sua origem geoquímica. Devido a semelhanças em suas propriedades químicas, o arsênio apresenta uma grande afinidade pelo enxofre, e comporta-se de modo similar ao selênio, seguindo o enxofre por toda a rota de refino do petróleo, localizando-se, principalmente, nos strippers de água ácida, local onde ocorre a separação/absorção do enxofre. Nesta fase do processo de refino, onde pode ocorrer a mais severa corrosão, estes ametais permanecem, provavelmente, imobilizados no fundo das torres podendo ser carreados à Unidade de Tratamento de Águas. Antes de serem lançadas ao meio ambiente, estas águas devem ser tratadas visando sua adequação a Legislação Brasileira (CONAMA, Res. 357/05). A eficiência de eliminação depende do processo empregado e está diretamente relacionada às espécies presentes nestas águas. A Cromatografia de Íons (CI) acoplada ao ICP-MS foi a escolha para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho - a especiação de arsênio e selênio em correntes aquosas do processo de refino. Foi alcançada uma boa resolução cromatográfica utilizando-se coluna de troca iônica e NaOH (0,1mol.L-1) como fase móvel e célula supressora para a minimização do sinal de fundo e de uma possível deposição de sais. Os Limites de Detecção alcançados para as espécies de arsênio foram de 0,15 e 0,18 (mi)g.L-1 para As (III) e As (V), respectivamente. Os Limites de Detecção para as espécies de selênio foram de 0,04, 0,05 e 0,05 (mi)g.L-1 para Se (IV), Se (VI) e SeCN, respectivamente, estes resultados estabelecidos empregando- se uma alça de amostragem de 100 (mi)L. O conteúdo total dos elementos estudados foi determinado por duas técnicas analíticas, ICPMS e GFAAS e a recuperação cromatográfica calculada por ambos os resultados. O método desenvolvido foi testado em três materiais de referência certificados, BCR 713, 714 e 715, tendo sido obtida uma concordância com os valores certificados. Ao final, a metodologia foi empregada em amostras de águas oriundas de diferentes etapas do processo de duas refinarias de petróleo. Todas amostras provenientes da saída das Estações de Esgoto Industrial (ETDI), apresentavam concentração de selênio e arsênio totais abaixo do limite estabelecido pela Legislação Brasileira. A metodologia proposta mostrou-se adequada para realização de análise de especiação de arsênio e selênio em matrizes complexas, como as existentes nas etapas de Craqueamento Catalítico e Unidades de Tratamento de Águas Residuais, assim como em amostra de interesse ambiental, como as da Estação de Tratamento de Efluentes Industriais. O método proposto mostrou-se adequado para a avaliação, monitoramento e melhor entendimento das transformações em unidades do processo de refino, assim como pode contribuir para uma adequação no tratamento de efluente.
The concentrations of arsenic in oil can vary of 10 the 30 mgkg-1. The selenium is found in effluent of the petroliferous industry, had its presence in the oil, between 0.03 -1,4 mg.L-1 depending on its geochemistry origin. For chemical reasons, arsenic shows a high affinity to sulfur, similar as selenium, thus following this element through the whole petroleum refining process, reaching the sour water strippers, where separation of sulfur from other inorganic species takes place. In this phase of the refining process, when it can occur the most severe corrosions, these ametais remain, probably, immobilized in the deep one of the towers being able to be carry out the Water Unit Treatment. Before launched to the environment, these waters must be treated aiming at its adequacy Brazilian Legislation (CONAMA, Res. 357/05). The elimination efficiency depends on the employed process and directly is related to the species gifts in these waters. The Ions Chromatography (CI) coupled to the ICP-MS was the choice for the development of this work - speciation of arsenic and selenium in stream watery of refining process. A good chromatographic resolution was reached using column of ionic exchange and NaOH (0,1mol.L- 1) as mobile phase and cell suppressor for the minimizes the signal from the background and a possible deposition lens and coins in ICPMS. The reached Limits of Detention for the species of arsenic had been 0,15 and 0,18 (mi)g.L-1 for As (III) and As (V), respectively. The Limits of Detention for the species of selenium had been of 0,04, 0,05 and 0,05 (mi)g.L-1 Se (IV), Se (VI) and SeCN, respectively, these established results using a loop of 100 (mi)L. The total content of the studied elements determined by two analytical techniques, ICPMS and GFAAS and the chromatographic recovery calculated by both results. The developed method was tested in three certified reference materials, BCR 713, 714 and 715, having been gotten an agreement with the certified values. Finally, the methodology was applied in the samples of different stages of the process of two oil refineries. All samples proceeding from effluent were below oft he limit established for the Brazilian Legislation. The methodology proposal revealed adequate for accomplishment, monitoring an speciation for arsenic and selenium in complex matrices, as existing in the stages of Fluid Catalytic Cracking and the Units of Treatment of Residual Water, as well as in an environmental samples.

Abstract:
The State of Kuwait has three large refineries, namely, Mina Al Ahmadi Refinery, Mina Abdullah Refinery and Shuaiba Refinery. These refineries process and refine Kuwait Crude Oil through different process units. There are many heaters, boilers and flares that form a part of the complicated equipment which enhance the different petroleum processes. Fuel gas is used as a firing fuel for those heaters and boilers. As a result, stack emissions like SO2, NOx, CO are predominantly present in the flue gases and this study focuses on those emissions and their impact on the surrounding residential area. The area of interest will be Umm Al-Hyman residential area. This study accumulates emission inventories from the three refineries and the respective ground level concentration of the pollutants in the neighboring residential area. It also focuses on the impact of emissions from the refinery operations on the ground level concentrations in the surrounding areas by using the inventory model and latest emission factors to provide accurate emission estimates. The models were developed and the results were verified with the actual data from the area of impact. As a result of the findings of the major pollutants, namely SO2, NOx & CO, it is found that SO2 and CO are not exceeding Kuwait EPA Ambient Air Quality Standards for Residential Areas normally. However, NOx is observed to exceed occasionally. Even though, NOx emissions from refineries sources represented by plume models were much less, there is a consistent increase in the measured NOx. Furthermore, in 2007, the measured hourly, daily and annual NOx concentration exceeded the international standard many times. The increasing trend in NOx is attributed to continuous increase in population and the number of motor vehicles. The study will go further step in recommending engineering solutions and best practices to reduce the pollutants concentrations which will help in the reduction of human health risks and protect the environment.

Abstract:
Petroleum refining industry in the United States is the largest in the world operating 148 refineries. These refineries contribute a major economic value to the U.S. market for providing the chemical industry with vital products. The economic gain, however, is challenged by the increasing competitiveness within the refining sector as well as the unpredictable oil prices. Furthermore, environmental obligations also have been recently advocating low emission rates that may entail additional operating costs to refineries. In this study, we analyze hydrogen production and utilization in the U.S. oil and gas industry to characterize its key role and trends in this energy-intensive industry. We referred to U.S. Department of Energy data and statistics of hydrogen production rates as well as we considered other elementary factors of refineries productivity such as; economics of crude oil, power consumption and chemical outputs. Considering the fact that hydrogen-dependent processes in refining count as a key element in oil refining; it is certainly that efficient production and implementation of hydrogen in processes such as hydro-cracking and hydro-desulfurization will result in cost saving opportunities for refineries. From this point of view, we highlight the economic and environmental advantages of solar cracking of natural gas as an alternative way of hydrogen production. Hydrogen production in refineries could possibly benefit from utilizing this alternative method on both local and global levels. Economically, this study explains how solar cracking could save about $62 million in hydrogen production for U.S. refineries. Even though the momentum of desulfurization acts are not yet strong in the U.S., major European refining investments are in jeopardy if not soon to utilize enhanced desulfurization facilities in response to demands of lower sulfur content of refined products. A comprehensive expenditures model is presented in this study to monitor primary areas of saving in hydrogen production from the early stages of establishing a hydrogen production plant. Further alternatives showing potential are also included as future considerations for the refinery sector.

Abstract:
The consumption of petroleum products in India has been growing at a high rate. In order to meet the growing demand for petroleum, additional refining capacity is planned to be created involving augmentation of some of the existing refineries and construction of new refineries. While the refineries will be in a position to meet the demand of petroleum products, the critical and vital issue will be to supply crude oil to the refineries and to reach the products to various consumption centers in an efficient, reliable and cost effective manner. In addition to the liquid petroleum, Natural Gas is emerging as the major source of energy/feedstock. Infrastructure for storage and transportation of Natural Gas are also required to be set up in a big way to meet the projected demand. This can best be done by constructing new pipelines which are recognized worldwide as the most reliable and cost effective mode of transportation of oil and gas. In addition to the requirement for new pipelines, there is a need for upgradation of technology in the existing cross-country pipelines, many of which are more than 20 years old. Moreover, Indian Government has, as part of the process of liberalisation of the economy through a series of measures focused on the infrastructural developments, technology upgradation, trade policies and financial reforms, has opened the core sector of Petroleum to private investment. Thus, considerable scope exists not only for consultants, equipment and material manufacturers/suppliers and contractors for providing their services but also for making investments in the Indian pipeline industry. This paper describes the prospects/opportunities in the Indian pipeline industry.

Abstract:
Abstract Nigeria is richly blessed with crude oil, with a proven reserve of 37billion barrels. Despite the abundance of this "black gold", Nigeria has over the years lacked the capacity to meet the country's demand for petroleum products locally and has resorted to the importation of petroleum products. This is largely due to the fact that the four state-owned conventional refineries, with a combined refining capacity of 445,000 bpd have been operating below optimal conditions, with a combined capacity utilization of 17% in 10years, from 2009 to 2018. Though establishing conventional refineries is highly capital intensive and significantly takes a long time to build and commission, the modular refinery option is however a less capital intensive alternative. This paper discusses the vital roles or importance of modular refineries as well as how it impacts on the availability of petroleum products in the Nigeria. It was discovered that Nigeria has lots of benefits to reap from exploiting modular refinery initiative, amongst which are eliminating fuel shortages and deficits, job creation, overall improvement of the economy and GDP growth, conservation of foreign exchange, among others. It was concluded that the right policy drive to encourage investors to dive into this initiative be put in place to enable Nigeria transit into an exporter of petroleum products.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of hot tapping is to add connections on piping or equipment without depressurization or disruption of normal process operations. Hence, hot taps involve welding on items while they are in service. Although not desirable, owners are faced with situations in which hot tapping is the best option. With due regards to safety, owners rely on published industry standards, such as API RP 2201 Safe Hot Tapping Practices in the Petroleum and Petrochemical Industries and ASME PCC-2, Repair of Pressure Equipment and Piping, Article 2.10, for guidance on hot tapping. These standards provide excellent guidelines on the safety reviews, design details, welding procedures, testing, etc., and cover some special restrictions for hot taps due to the specific service and/or base materials. However, there are numerous additional hot tapping cases which arise in the refining industry, and the purpose of this paper is to highlight considerations due to potential corrosion or environmental cracking risks and/or due to refinery materials with special welding requirements. Examples are hot taps in services containing sour water and on low alloy Cr-Mo steels. The considerations and suggested special requirements are explained.

Abstract:
Pipelines are by far the most important mode of petroleum transportation in the United States because of their remarkable efficiency and low transportation cost. Pipelines carry two-thirds of the energy consumed by our nation and are recognized as the safest and most economical way to distribute vast quantities of oil and gas from production fields to refineries to consumers for a foreseeable future. This sophisticated network of gathering and distribution systems comprises 2.3 million miles of pipelines-varying in size from 2 inches to 60 inches in diameter. Pipelines are vital to a nation's economy and are a significant part of national critical infrastructure. The pipeline infrastructure and the volume of products transported have continued to grow as demand for energy has increased. Over the next two decades, the demand for energy is projected to reach record levels. This increased demand for energy combined with the expansion of the cities and suburban areas will require the pipeline infrastructure not only to expand but to reliably and safely deliver energy services in support of the nation's economy. The United States has a well-developed system for the protection of the public and the environment from the dangers of oil and gas pipeline failures. However, there is always a chance that a pipeline can leak. Pipeline leaks can be dangerous to people, to the natural environment, to public land, and to private property. Furthermore, the tragic events of the September 11 t terrorist attacks have focused the attention on the security of the nation's energy sources and the critical energy and transportation infrastructure systems. Therefore, pipeline security and safety has become a high-profile, national concern.
