Determining compatibility
of heavy and crude oil blends upon blending
of heavy fuel oils and crude oils for refinery feed stocks:
Determining compatibility parameters of heavy and crude oils mixtures
upon blending to prevent production of fuel oil and crude oil blends
that have incompatibility risk in their use or further processing.
Applications are blending of heavy fuel oil from different refinery
streams, blending of crude oil streams coming from different production
fields for transporting in a larger pipeline and making of crude oil
blends for feed stocks of oil refineries. The analyzer reports
ExxonMobil heavy and crude oil compatibility parameters In and Sbn as a
result of the analytical procedure. The cost savings achievable by
preventing production problems due to use of incompatible crude oil
blends as refinery feed stocks are even much bigger than those obtained
by optimization of individual refinery units, possibly tens of millions
of euros annually. |
