Plant Details and Optimization Target
Steam at the refinery plant is produced by boilers and HRSGs, using a range of fuels such as fuel gas, fuel oil, HSD, naphtha, and LNG. The steam produced is distributed across the various processes. The project calculates the efficiency of key facilities and compares steam production, fuel consumption, and power generation to identify the optimal energy solution. The objective is to provide a comprehensive analysis that supports informed decision-making on energy management.
