What are the experiences gained from clean fuels projects?
Early implementation of low-sulfur gasoline and diesel have yielded useful information for the next wave of projects in Europe
Apply a comprehensive approach to biofuels
New technologies can be integrated within an existing refinery to cost-effectively blend next-generation transportation fuels
New methods upgrade refinery residuals into lighter products
Gasification of bottom-of-the-barrel byproducts can provide operating flexibility due to tighter fuel oil specifications
Control sulfur levels in FCC products
To meet tighter performance standards will include innovative sulfur removal technologies as part of the refining scheme
Multivariable step testing for MPC projects reduces crude unit testing time
The approach also improves model accuracy without sacrificing process safety
