“…• Utilization of waste heat (WH) that cannot be used in the core refinery processes. Previous research has shown that process integration with adjacent industries as well as using low-temperature WH for post-combustion solvent regeneration, district heating, or biomass drying could result in significant CO 2 emissions reductions [14,33].…”

Method to assess pathways for greenhouse gas emissions reductions for industrial plants. • Method successfully demonstrated for a large, complex oil refinery in Europe. • We examined energy efficiency, carbon capture and storage, biomass gasification and pyrolysis. • Pathway with energy efficiency and BIG-CCS is most cost effective and shows deep emissions reductions. • However, ranking of pathways in terms of costs depends strongly on energy prices.

“…As the figure shows, HEN retrofit proposals were designed specifically for the case study process (see Section 4.2), based on a literature review of operability issues related to heat integration measures [10]. The process data for the retrofit proposals were taken from a previous energy targeting study at the refinery [37]. The proposals were discussed with refinery experts in eleven interviews (see Section 4.3).…”

Operability and Technical Implementation Issues Related to Heat Integration Measures—Interview Study at an Oil Refinery in Sweden

In many energy-intensive industrial process plants, significant improvements in energy efficiency can be achieved through increased heat recovery. However, retrofitting plants for heat integration purposes can affect process operability. The aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive overview of such issues by systematically relating different types of heat recovery retrofit measures to a range of technical barriers associated with process operability and practical implementation of the measures. The paper presents a new approach for this kind of study, which can be applied in the early-stage screening of heat integration retrofit measures. This approach accounts for the importance of a number of selected operability factors and their relative significance. The work was conducted in the form of a case study at a large oil refinery. Several conceptual heat exchanger network retrofit design proposals were prepared and discussed during semi-structured interviews with technical staff at the refinery. The results show that many operability and practical implementation factors, such as spatial limitations, pressure drops and non-energy benefits, influence the opportunities for implementation of different types of heat exchanger network retrofit measures. The results indicate that it is valuable to consider these factors at an early stage when designing candidate heat exchanger network retrofit measures. The interview-based approach developed in this work can be applied to other case studies for further confirmation of the results.

“…Other possible avenues have been proposed by previous studies to lower CC costs, such as using more advanced and cost-effective solvents (Wardhaugh and Cousins, 2017), integrating with emerging separation technologies like membrane (Kuramochi et al, 2012), using waste heat through heat integration (Andersson et al, 2013;Berghout et al, 2015), advanced process control (Mechleri et al, 2017), etc. However, most of the proposed measures are analyzed through simulation or lab-scale test, and many of them are designed for power plant applications.…”

Carbon capture (CC) technology is receiving increasing attention as a critical technology for climate change mitigation. Most previous studies focus on the application of CC technology in the power generation sector, while fewer studies have analyzed applications in the refining industry, which is one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions sources in the U.S. industrial sector. Unlike the power generation sector, the refining industry has highly distributed CO 2 emission sources. In this paper, bottom-up modeling and techno-economic analysis approaches are integrated to quantify the national CO 2 emission reduction potential and costs of three types of CC technologies applied to U.S. refineries: (1) pre-combustion, (2) post-combustion, and (3) oxyfuelcombustion. Two scenarios are developed to compare different design strategies for CC systems; one is a distributed design scenario for post-combustion technology, the other is a centralized design scenario for precombustion and oxyfuel-combustion technology. The results of the two scenarios are compared, and the tradeoffs between different design strategies are highlighted. The results shown in this study provide an intuitive and quantitative understanding of the potential of CC technology to reduce CO 2 emissions from the U.S. refining industry. Such information is helpful to policymakers, oil companies, and energy/environmental analysts for strategic planning and systems design to manage future CO 2 emissions of refineries.
