  1. Oil Refining Presented by Gautam Datta

  2. Introduction • Mr Gautam Datta, Principal Process Engineer Gautam has 20 years experience in downstream Refining/Petrochemicals. Expertise includes process design & operations covering Hydroprocessing, RFCCU, CCR, Gas Concentration, LPG Merox, propylene recovery, ethylene recovery and refinery/chemicals interface along with R&D, process development of C7 isomerisation technology, licensing and team management. • The goal of today's workshop is to quickly and effectively bring you up to speed with the language, concepts and key issues in the refining industry. It has been designed for managers, engineers, graduates, operators and other personnel who are new or are requiring insight into the Refining and Petrochemicals industry. • The workshop will provide an excellent overview for people from technical, non-technical and commercial backgrounds, who have limited experience and wish to improve their familiarity with some of the systems and technologies involved.

  4. General • How many Refineries are there in the UK?? • Answer: There are 11 Refineries in the UK • What is the Refining Capacity in the UK?? • The UKrefining capacity of 1.9 million bbl/d. • Is the UK self sufficient in Refinery Products. • The UK is net exporter of Petrol, Diesel/Gasoil and Fuel Oil and net importer of Jet/Kerosene • Diesel vs Petrol ?? • Demand for Diesel is growing faster than that of Petrol.

  5. Overview The purpose of an oil refinery is to transform relatively low value crude into high value products as efficiently, profitably and environmentally sound a way as possible

  6. What is Crude Oil? • Crude oil is liquid mixture of thousands of organic chemicals found underground and can be separated into a variety of different boiling point fractions. It is the result of organic matter decaying over thousands of years; hence the name fossil fuel. • Crude oil is found all over the world and varies tremendously in its density, aromatics, sulphur and metals

  7. Crude Oil Composition

  8. Origin of Crude oil • Biogenic: From organics, by bacterial transformation. Organic matter( carbohydrates / proteins / lipid/ lignin both from plant & animal origin -----> decay in the presence and / or absence of air into HC rich sediments which in presence of micro organism undergoes biological/ physical and chemical alterations to form Kerogen(geopolymer) which may be coaly or sapropelic. Sapropelic Kerogen under high pressure and temperature further gets converted into oil and gas.

  9. Major refinery Products • LPG(Propane / Butane) • Gasoline • Jet Fuels • Diesel Fuels • Heating Oil • Greases • Asphalt • COKE(not the kind you drink)

  10. 1. The Nature of Crude Petroleum • Crude Oil is a mixture of different Hydrocarbon:

  11. 1. The Nature of Crude Petroleum • Crude Oil contains impurities: Benzothiophene Dibenzothiophene

  12. 1. The Nature of Crude Petroleum Sour Crude Oil Sweet Crude Oil

  13. 1. The Nature of Crude Petroleum

  14. Crude Oil Classification • Paraffinic Base Waxy, high paraffins, less asphaltic, low sulfur, high pour points, light crudes • Mixed Base Paraffinic-naphthenic, relatively less waxy/less asphaltic / low pour point • Naphthenic Base High sulphur / high asphalt / nitrogen – relatively heavy crudes

  15. Crude Oil Classification-Empirical Correlations • API Gravity API = (141.5/SP. GR)-131.5 • Light Crude Oil > 31 • Mixed based > 22-31 • Heavy crude < 22 API is a major factor for crude pricing

  16. Effect of Contaminants in Crude Oil

  17. 1.The Nature of Crude Petroleum Qualities of crudes commonly processed in refineries around the world:

  18. 2. The automobile and how Petroleum Refining was driven History, Explaining the Demand for Gasoline World War I heavily influenced by motorized transport saw a drastic increase in oil refining rates. Gasoline introduced as a refined product for the thermal combustion engine. Initially Kerosene was the only refining product, used exclusively for lighting. Rapid improvement in gasoline quality and increased demand

  19. 2. The automobile and how Petroleum Refining was driven History, Explaining the Development of the Refining Industry Thermal cracking of gas oil to gasoline leading to increased production. Primitive Refinery operations. Catalytic Isomerisation Catalytic reforming Production of gasoline as a fuel. Alkylation Fluid catalytic cracking
