Delivering operational calm in turbulent times
Unusual times require unique solutions. Refinery operators can benefit from solving complex refinery challenges by examining the many factors affecting the overall goal across unit operations – ultimately delivering a new level of performance that could not be achieved by looking only at a single unit.
Consider a refiner seeking more diesel production without sacrificing reliability. That refiner might look to implement multiple targeted solutions, including:
- Increasing flexibility to run more opportunity crude oils by better managing tank farm blended oil quality and enhancing contaminant removal.
- Safely increasing distillation tower yield flexibility to drive more naphtha into the distillate pool.
- Using diesel cold flow treatments to enable more gas oil lift, while fouling control programs keep units online and energy efficient.
- Critical exchanger monitoring and control to ensure heat removal is not a bottleneck.
- Applying best practice handling and treatments for cracked distillate streams to reduce reactivity and gum formation during blending and storage.
- Upgrading oil-water separation technologies to dive deeper into tough-to-treat waters, further extending operating flexibility while maintaining environmental compliance.
When our customers win, we win. That is why SUEZ brings proven solutions and trusted results to our customers with the broadest oil and gas solutions portfolio to address the items above and more – from rapid crude quality analysis and prediction (not available even just a few years ago) and unique overhead and steam chemistry, coupled with dynamic salt point management and automation for tighter overhead control, to patented oil-water separation units that run longer and under more challenging conditions. We work to create the unique solutions to best fit your refinery performance needs.
