The refinery of the future

open access: yesNature
Fossil fuels-coal, oil and gas-supply most of the world's energy and also form the basis of many products essential for everyday life. Their use is the largest contributor to the carbon dioxide emissions that drive global climate change, prompting joint efforts to find renewable alternatives that might enable a carbon-neutral society by as early as ...

Integration of Bio-refinery Concepts in Oil Refineries

open access: yes, 2017
In this work, the systematic integration of bio-refineries within oil refineries is considered. This is particularly relevant due to the lack of adaptation of existing refineries to diminishing oil supply. Moreover, the integration of oil and bio-refineries has a massively positive effect on the reduction of CO2 emissions.

Benchmarking for Refinery Units

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2018
The new Benchmarking methodology (Anselm) is based on the Pinch Analysis, statistical analysis and analysis of the best available technologies presented in this paper. Using the Pinch Analysis, 12 energy efficiency indexes were developed. The data obtained as a result of Pinch Analysis was processed by statistical methods.
