Model-Based Optimization for Petroleum Refinery Configuration Design

An accessible, easy-to-read introduction to the methods of mixed-integer optimization, with practical applications, real-world operational data, and case studies

Interest in model-based approaches for optimizing the design of petroleum refineries has increased throughout the industry in recent years. Mathematical optimization based on mixed-integer programming has brought about the superstructure optimization method for synthesizing petroleum refinery configurations from multiple topological alternatives.

Model-Based Optimization for Petroleum Refinery Configuration Design presents a detailed introduction to the use of mathematical optimization to solve both linear and nonlinear problems in the refining industry. The book opens with an overview of petroleum refining processes, basic concepts in mathematical programming, and applications of mathematical programming for refinery optimization. Subsequent chapters address superstructure representations of topological alternatives, mathematical formulation, solution strategies, and various modeling frameworks. Practical case studies demonstrate refinery configuration design, refinery retrofitting, and real-world issues and considerations.

  • Presents linear, nonlinear, and mixed-integer programming approaches applicable to both new and existing petroleum refineries
  • Highlights the benefits of model-based solutions to refinery configuration design problems
  • Features detailed case studies of the development and implementation of optimization models
  • Discusses economic considerations of heavy oil processing, including cash flow analysis of refinery costs and return on capital
  • Includes numerical examples based on real-world operational data and various commercial technologies

Model-Based Optimization for Petroleum Refinery Configuration Design is an invaluable resource for researchers, chemical engineers, process and energy engineers, other refining professionals, and advanced chemical engineering students.

Absorption-Based Post-Combustion Capture of Carbon Dioxide
<p><i>Absorption-Based Post-Combustion Capture of Carbon Dioxide</i> provides a comprehensive and authoritative review of the use of absorbents for post-combustion capture of carbon dioxide. As fossil fuel-based power generation technologies are likely to remain key in the future, at least in the short- and medium-term, carbon capture and storage will be a critical greenhouse gas reduction technique. </p> <p>Post-combustion capture involves the removal of carbon dioxide from flue gases after fuel combustion, meaning that carbon dioxide can then be compressed and cooled to form a safely transportable liquid that can be stored underground.</p>

Materials for Ultra-Supercritical and Advanced Ultra-Supercritical Power Plants
<p><i>Materials for Ultra-Supercritical and Advanced Ultra-Supercritical Power Plants</i> provides researchers in academia and industry with an essential overview of the stronger high-temperature materials required for key process components, such as membrane wall tubes, high-pressure steam piping and headers, superheater tubes, forged rotors, cast components, and bolting and blading for steam turbines in USC power plants. Advanced materials for future advanced ultra-supercritical power plants, such as superalloys, new martensitic and austenitic steels, are also addressed. Chapters on international research directions complete the volume.</p> <p>The transition from conventional subcritical to supercritical thermal power plants greatly increased power generation efficiency. Now the introductions of the ultra-supercritical (USC) and, in the near future, advanced ultra-supercritical (A-USC) designs are further efforts to reduce fossil fuel consumption in power plants and the associated carbon dioxide emissions. The higher operating temperatures and pressures found in these new plant types, however, necessitate the use of advanced materials. </p>

Low-Rank Coals for Power Generation, Fuel and Chemical Production
<p>Low-Rank Coals for Power Generation, Fuel and Chemical Production provides a thorough introduction to lignite (brown coal) and subbituminous coals and explores how they can be used efficiently and economically in place of hard coal. The book examines the undesirable characteristics of low-quality coals, such as high moisture content, low calorific value, and aggressive ash characteristics, and the resulting refinements to standard technologies and practices required for successful combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis.The first part of this book provides a comprehensive and systematic review of the properties of low-rank coals and corresponding preparation methods, such as drying, cleaning, and upgrading. Power generation from low-rank coals is the focus of Part 2, with chapter topics ranging from high efficiency pulverized coal combustion and circulatingfluidized bed combustion to emerging areas such as chemical looping and oxyfuel combustion. The final contributions address the important subjects of coal-to-liquids, polygeneration and coke production using low-rank coals, as well as the critical issue of carbon capture and storage.This book is a valuable resource for power generation engineers and researchers seeking to maximize the opportunities provided by these cheaper coal feedstocks for efficient and environmentally compatible power generation.</p>

Developments and Innovation in Carbon Dioxide (Co2) Capture and Storage Technology: Carbon Dioxide (
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage (CCS) is the one advanced technology that conventional power generation cannot do without. CCS technology reduces the carbon footprint of power plants by capturing, and storing the CO2 emissions from burning fossil-fuels and biomass. This volume provides a comprehensive reference on the state of the art research, development and demonstration of carbon storage and utilisation, covering all the storage options and their environmental impacts. It critically reviews geological, terrestrial and ocean sequestration, including enhanced oil and gas recovery, as well as other advanced concepts such as industrial utilisation, mineral carbonation, biofixation and photocatalytic reduction.
