An oil refinery is an exceptionally complex facility where crude oil is processed and refined into more valuable products such as naphtha, gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt base, heating oil, kerosene, and other products. As a result of the sheer complexity of the refining process, it has been expected that feedstocks and processing components could never be balanced; however, our resident expert has utilized refinery stream modelling techniques to balance these systems. Here is a very comprehensive overview of the modelling process for the refinery streams. If your facility is having issues with accounting for losses and needs help with balancing, by all means please contact us.
