Energy Optimisation of Oil Refineries

This Energy Optimisation of Oil Refineries training course is uniquely designed as a tool-box that provides an insight into the variety of energy optimisations topics - offers the knowledge of the Best Practices in energy and prepares the refinery energy managers, process engineers and technical staff involved in energy and the top management's energy sponsors for their important roles.

Refinery energy efficiency is a multidisciplinary subject. It involves process operations, the utility system, the equipment, power generation, housekeeping, process control, retrofit design, advanced thermodynamic concepts such as Pinch Technology, and effective management. A comprehensive energy saving program that pushes a refinery to the forefront of energy efficiency and profitability must incorporate all these disciplines.

By the end of this PetroKnowledge training course, the participants will be able to apply techniques which will enable them to conduct following activities in their refineries:

• Assess energy efficiency of refinery and individual processes
• Calculate the potential for improvement
• Optimise refinery utility systems (steam and power)
• Apply energy saving techniques to develop energy saving projects
• Introduce effective Energy Management procedures.

Professionals working in the petroleum processing industry will benefit from this course, especially those with a responsibility for refinery energy management and efficiency. The material presented is relevant to all engineers working in industrial processes, including operations, design and maintenance personnel.
