BIERGTalk International Seminar Series. Optimising fired heating demand in crude oil distillation systems.

Activity: Participating in or organising an event › Organising a conference, workshop, ...

Description

Speaker: Dr Minerva Ledezma Martínez

Abstract: Petroleum refineries are increasingly required to address stricter environmental regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Approximately 75% of energy consumption in refineries is used by furnaces and heaters. For optimisation purposes, Pinch Analysis is appealing to study changes on process design and its impact on heat or cooling services.
This talk will focus on a case study developed using Artificial Neural Networks applied to a crude oil distillation system with a preflash unit with the aim to optimise fired heating demand of the system.
