FAQ

  • Can a multi-period optimisation model improve oil refinery flexibility?
  • Hence, a multi-period optimisation model is developed via mixed integer linear programming in this work to determine the optimal renewable energy system in terms of cost and its optimal energy storage technology to enhance its flexibility for oil refinery operations.
  • How can oil refineries transition to a low carbon future?
  • Given the urgency to transition to low carbon future, oil refineries need to identify feasible strategies for decarbonisation. One way to address this is by integrating renewable energy systems. However, the high initial costs and intermittency appeared to be the key barriers for the adoption of renewable energy technologies.
  • How important is decarbonisation of oil refineries?
  • The oil refinery sector stands as one of the major consumers of energy and contributes significantly to GHG emissions (Nurdiawati and Urban 2022). Most refineries generate their energy on-site, using energy systems fuelled by fossil fuels. The decarbonisation of refineries is, therefore, vital for addressing its emissions concerns.
  • Could membrane separation save money on oil & gas refining?
  • According to Neel Rangnekar, a chemical engineer with Exxon and a team member on the new paper, switching from distillation to membrane separation could save up to 50% of the cost of heating the crude oil and 75% of the cost of electricity used in refining, amounting to at least $3.5 billion per year.
  • Are conventional oil refineries slow to adopt separation systems?
  • He and others also caution that conventional oil refineries may be slow to adopt them, because companies have already sunk costs into installing conventional separations systems.
  • How do oil refineries generate electricity?
  • Oil refineries primarily rely on conventional power plants that generate energy from fossil fuel combustion (Khedr et al. 2020). As outlined in Steen (2004), coal combustion remains the primary method for electricity generation, supplemented by the use of low-emission efficiency boiler systems to produce high-pressure steam.
