Abstract:
Industries have resurfaced on a global level, seeking to upgrade industrial guidelines and policies that align with sustainable industrial practices. The petrochemical industry heavily contributes to an increased annual carbon footprint. Therefore, the petrochemical industry is on a constant surge to develop sustainable practices regarding the utilization of innumerable resources available in the petroleum industry. These practices comply with the guidelines of sustainable development goals to refine petroleum products, thus helping countries overcome incompetency related to renewable resource utilization. These goals have thus helped to achieve sustainable, eco-friendly processes in the petrochemical industry. This research aims to analyze the sustainability level of the already-practiced processes in the petroleum industry. With relevance to petroleum engineering and adopting inferences from existing literature, this research develops a narrative on further enhancing the efficacy of eco-friendly processes used in the petroleum industry for sustainable refining of petroleum products. Moreover, this research discusses existing concepts, theories, and methodologies presented in previously published research studies that comply with sustainable ecosystems. It identifies gaps, controversies, and unresolved issues that become a barrier to propagating petroleum refining processes across nations.

Abstract:
<p>Management of the air quality surrounding Petroleum Refineries deserves attention because the industry contributes almost five percent of the total emissions from all anthropogenic sources. A document containing a complete set of guidelines for use in the refining industry which satisfies the current and anticipated air quality legislations and regulations in the U.S. is necessary. In the past, several documents have been prepared, but have not included a complete coverage of the air quality management as currently needed. Furthermore, due to the continuing revisions of the Clean Air Act, a document with current, updated regulations and air quality management principles is necessary. This study dealt with a broad range of topics including characteristics of emissions, control technology applied, regulations and legislative issues, monitoring and modeling practices, and issues of the 1980s together with future projections and implications. Air quality regulations and standards are periodically revised and are becoming more stringent with time. Issues like acid rain may lead to even more stringent emission standards if investigations carried out currently reveal that the refineries are significant contributors. Great measures are taken to control emissions from the refineries either by using good control equipment or using other alternative control strategies. Small operating refineries are closing down due to changing conditions. An agglomeration and or expansion of the existing refining capacity is occurringn The air quality trends associated with this transition in the industry are discussed. </p><br>Master of Science

Abstract:
Na maioria das empresas, ferramenta de apoio à decisão é sinônimo de questões tangíveis como Valor Presente Líquido (VPL) e Taxa Interna de Retorno (TIR) do investimento, e é a maneira mais adotada para mostrar o valor financeiro que cada projeto agrega à empresa e aos acionistas. Verifica, também, se o projeto está coerente com a taxa de atratividade proposta para o crescimento desejado. No entanto, a análise de investimentos em diversos setores tem levado em consideração critérios subjetivos que não são totalmente medidos por ferramentas econômicas clássicas. Na indústria de refino de petróleo, a situação é semelhante porque há fatores governamentais, ambientais e políticos, entre outros, que influenciam na tomada de decisão. Assim, devido à dificuldade de expressar a realidade na ordenação e seleção de projetos, utilizando apenas as ferramentas tradicionais, o trabalho foi elaborado com o objetivo de ordenar um grupo de cinco projetos pertencente a uma grande carteira de investimentos de uma empresa de petróleo. Para isso levou-se em consideração diversos critérios, adotando o método AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) como ferramenta de análise multicritério. O resultado obtido leva em consideração a análise de variados critérios ponderados por influenciadores de decisão, apontando o alinhamento às metas estratégicas e a exigência legal como os principais a serem considerados e permitindo uma priorização dos projetos escolhidos. Nesse sentido, o projeto de qualidade de diesel na região sudeste foi eleito como de maior prioridade no momento.<br>In the eyes of most companies, decision support tools are related to tangible or measurable issues, such as Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of investment. Such straightforward indicators are the most adopted solutions to show the financial value that each project brings to the company and shareholders. They also check if a project is consistent with the attractiveness rate proposed for the desired growth. However, the investment analysis in many sectors has been taken into account subjective criteria that are not fully measurable by classical economic tools. In the petroleum refining industry the situation is similar because there are governmental, environmental and political factors that influence the decision-making. Therefore, due to the difficulty of expressing the reality in ranking and selecting projects only using traditional tools, this work was developed in order to provide insights on ranking a group of five projects belonging to a large investment portfolio from an oil company. To make such work operational, it was taken into account several criteria that reflect the concerns of the decision makers involved, and it was adopted the AHP method (Analytic Hierarchy Process) as a tool to perform the rank of the projects under a multicriteria analysis. The key finds from such application were that the results reflect the preferences of the decision makers, and show the alignment with strategic goals and the legal requirements as the most relevant criteria, along with the project of diesel quality in the southeast region as the major investment priority at the present time.

Abstract:
PETRÓLEO BRASILEIRO S. A.<br>É constante o desafio das refinarias de petróleo na busca pela maximização da rentabilidade diante da natureza dinâmica das variáveis que afetam seus processos, como: demanda e especificações de produtos, qualidade de carga e preços de matéria-prima e derivados. Com a expectativa de mudanças nestas variáveis, um planejamento estratégico integrado para definir as necessidades de investimento em novas unidades de processo e ampliação de capacidade de unidades existentes pode contribuir para os melhores resultados do negócio de refino. Em face destas oportunidades e desafios, este trabalho propõe uma análise do planejamento de investimentos em refino, considerando o crescimento da demanda de diesel com ultra baixo teor de enxofre (S10) e também o crescimento plurianual da demanda de derivados, tendo como estudo de caso uma das maiores refinarias brasileiras. Como ferramenta de análise, foi utilizado um modelo matemático para planejamento integrado de refino de petróleo, que considera a otimização do planejamento operacional para definir as necessidades de investimento na refinaria, uma integração temporal, resultando em um modelo não linear inteiro misto (MINLP), cuja resolução utiliza uma lógica de decomposição em dois problemas integrados. Foi analisado o planejamento estratégico de refino, no horizonte de 19 anos e foram feitos vários cenários de demanda, com análises de sensibilidade para preços de petróleo e produtos, limite de importação e restrição de investimentos. Os resultados mostraram alinhamento com situação atual do mercado de derivados, com importação favorecida e com a expectativa de investimento mínimo em refino.<br>It is a constant challenge for oil refineries the profitability maximization considering the dynamic nature of variables that affect their processes, such as demand and product specifications, feed quality and prices of raw materials and products. Expecting changes in such variables, an integrated strategic planning to define the needs for investment in new process units and capacity expansion of existing units can contribute to better results of the refining business. Given these opportunities and challenges, this dissertation proposes an analysis of refining investment planning, considering the increasing demand for ultralow sulfur diesel (S10) and also the multi-year growth of demand for oil products, performing a case study for one of the largest Brazilian refineries. As an analysis tool, it was used a mathematical model for integrated planning of oil refining, which considers the optimization of operational planning to set the investment needs in the refinery, a temporal integration, resulting in a mixed integer nonlinear model (MINLP), which resolution is based on a logic decomposition in two integrated problems. The strategic refining planning was analyzed on the 19 years horizon for different demand scenarios and some sensitivity analyses were carried out for oil and product prices, import limit and investment restrictions. The results were consistent with the current situation of the Brazilian derivatives market, characterized by favorable import and the minimum investment expected for refining.

Abstract:
The fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit is of great importance in petroleum refining industries as it treats heavy fractions from various process units to produce light ends (valuable products). The FCC unit feedstock consists of heavy hydrocarbon with high sulphur contents and the catalyst in use is zeolite impregnated with rare earth metals i.e. lanthanum and cerium oxides. The catalytic cracking reaction is endothermic and takes place at elevated temperature in a fluidised bed reactor generating sulphur-contaminated coke on the catalyst. In the regenerator, coke is completely burnt producing SO2, particulate matter emissions. The impact of the FCC unit is assessed in the immediate neighborhood of the refinery. Emission inventories for years 2008 and 2009 for both SO2 and PM have been calculated based on real operational data. Comprehensive meteorological data for years 2005 – 2009 are obtained and preprocessed to generate planetary boundary layer parameters using Aermet (Aermod preprocessor). Aermod (US EPA approved dispersion model) is applied to predict ground level concentrations of both pollutants in the selected study area. Model output is validated with the corresponding measured values at discrete receptors. The highest hourly SO2 predicted concentrations for both years 2008 and 2009 exceeded the corresponding Kuwait EPA ambient air standard, mainly due to elevated emission rates and the prevailing calm and other meteorological conditions. The highest daily SO2 predicted concentrations also exceeded the Kuwait EPA allowable limit due to high emission rates, while meteorological parameters influence is dampened. Hourly average predicted PM concentrations showed similar variation into SO2 in different location. The daily average predicted PM concentrations are lower than US EPA specified limit. An extensive parametric study has been conducted using three scenarios, stack diameter, stack height and emission rates. It is noticed that stack diameter has no effect on ground level concentration, as stack exit velocity is a function of the square of stack diameter. With the increase in stack height, the predicted concentrations decrease showing an inverse relation. The influence of the emission rate is linearly related to the computed ground level concentrations SO2 additives are tested for SO2 emissions reduction. In the year 2008, reduction of SO2 annual total emission by 43% results in full compliance with Kuwait EPA hourly specified limit, using an appropriate amount of additives. Similarly, 57% reduction of SO2 annual total emission leads to no exceedance in predicted concentrations for the year 2009. The application of the state of the art technology, ESP has reduced about 90% of PM emissions for the year 2009.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper outlines a systematic risk based process to define the limiting construction materials envelope for a petroleum refining unit. Operating units are subject to an ongoing evolution of feedstock changes and unit optimizations. These changes can potentially have a dramatic impact on materials degradation and are one of the leading causes of unit reliability issues and unplanned maintenance costs. This paper describes how a systematic unit materials review confirming current materials of construction and expected operating exposures, can define the key and limiting operating variables. This review can additionally identify equipment inspection and maintenance requirements needed for a long term equipment plan. The process and examples of its use in a specific operating unit will be presented.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract The important materials in the petroleum refining industry are metals. Accordingly, there is good emphasis on metallurgy and there's a relative abundance of mechanical and metallurgical engineers. However, a wide variety of nonmetallic materials are also used, including elastomers, plastics, fireproofing, thermal insulation, and of course, coatings and linings. Expertise is needed for those materials as well. A nonmetallics expert may also need to address cathodic protection, refractories, chemical cleaning, and/or chemical treating. As with metallic materials, failures with nonmetallic materials are often the result of improper material selection and the use of material beyond the specific design limits. The limited information available on polymeric materials increases the risk of failure. This paper reviews a number of case histories.

Abstract The primary goal of many chemical additives used in petroleum refining is to ultimately prevent corrosion. Neutralizing agents, filmers, desalting aids, detergents, dispersants, antioxidants, H2S scavengers, oxygen scavengers as well as other treatment chemicals often impact corrosion in refining equipment. Unfortunately, the decision to choose a particular chemical is often made without hard data to support the chemical’s effectiveness. This paper describes several simple tests used to evaluate additive effectiveness.

Abstract Duplex stainless steels (DSS) have built up an extensive service history in many different refinery applications. Some equipment has been in service over twenty years. Today, these steels are often the most cost-effective and/or reliable alloy choice for new equipment or replacements in various corrosive applications. The proper fabrication techniques have been developed and the limitations of the various DSS grades in extremely severe services have been established. A new American Petroleum Institute (API) Publication (938C), “Use of Duplex Stainless Steels in the Oil Refining Industry” covers these topics, and highlights the specific areas where DSS are being successfully used. This paper will give an overview of API 938C and focus on the refinery applications of DSS.

Abstract With new advancements in the petroleum refining processes, the need for monitoring of corrosion on the new and old systems is also transforming. This paper describes the experience gained in monitoring of stagnant and low flow lines of a refinery in Kuwait After witnessing a failure in one of the de-salter relief lines of the crude distillation unit, a comprehensive plan was prepared to identify and address similar cases in the entire refinery which was a major challenge. This paper describes the probable causes and the adopted remedies for the localized corrosion observed in the insulated de-salter relief line. Circumstantial evidence and failure morphology were studied in arriving at the root cause for this failure. Although, samples of the pipe showed signs of aggravated external corrosion at the failure location after removal of insulation, the reason assigned for the failure was due to under-deposit corrosion mainly on the pipe internal side. Based on the findings and experience gained from the above case, an advanced Non Destructive Testing (NDT) e.g. Long-Range Ultrasonic Testing (LRUT), profile radiography etc. methodology for the monitoring of other stagnant and low-flow was prepared and is currently under implementation.

Abstract:
Abstract NACE MR0103 "Materials Resistant to Sulfide Stress Cracking in Corrosive Petroleum Refining Environments"1 was developed by Task Group 231 to provide a standard set of requirements for materials used in sour petroleum refinery equipment. In the past, NACE MR01752, "Sulfide Stress Cracking Resistant Metallic Materials for Oilfield Equipment", was frequently referenced for this equipment, even though refinery applications were outside the scope of MR0175. The process used to develop MR0103 is described, followed by a review of the requirements in the standard accompanied by highlights of the differences between MR0103 and the previous and current versions of MR0175.
