Abstract:

Advanced spectroscopic analyzers provide real-time, multi-property measurements from crude feed (blending) through product manufacturing.  New technologies continue to move measurements from historical product blending locations, mid-stream and front end process units. Properly placed advanced analyzers at the refinery front end provide robust, real-time analyses for:

• crude oil feed to crude units,

• heavy oil processing units, 

• mid-stream upgrading units,

providing direct performance benefits to LP, Advanced Process Control and Real-Time Optimization.  

This presentation highlights instrumentation, measurement locations, and integration to LP, APC and Optimization enabling:

• significant increased throughput,

• >99% measurement availability,

• improved safety, reliability, and performance.
