Analysis of the possibility of increasing energy efficiency for fluid catalytic cracking plant in the secondary oil refining

Abstract

Oil refinery spends significant amount of different forms of energy in order to produce oil derivates. This self consumption of energy, beside ecological effect, has significant influence on efficiency and economy of operation or performance. This work, in the case of fluid catalytic cracking plant, provides an analysis of the energy efficiency of the plant and possibility of improving, through the replacement of energy efficient devices as well as better control. Also, this work presents examples of increasing the energy efficiency of the plant in some European and worldwide refineries.

Da bi proizvela naftne derivate rafinerija nafte troši značajne količine različitih oblika energije. Ova sopstvena energetska potrošnja u rafineriji nafte, pored ekološkog efekta, značajno utiče na efikasnost i ekonomičnost rada odnosno uspešnost poslovanja. U ovom radu, na primeru postrojenja fluidnog katalitičkog krekinga, data je analiza energetske efikasnosti postrojenja i mogućnosti njenog poboljšanja i to kroz zamenu energetski efikasnijim uređajima kao i boljom kontrolom. Takođe, u radu su dati primeri povećanja energetske efikasnosti ovog postrojenja u nekim evropskim i svetskim rafinerijama.
