Oil refinery optimization

Safely unlock refinery performance and efficiency with cutting edge measurement and automation

Oil refinery optimization to meet modern market and regulatory demands poses significant challenges for today’s oil industry. Environmental standards render new projects more costly and complex. All operations must reduce air pollution emissions (NOx), meaning costly upgrades to existing installations. Low sulfur fuel demand is placing a premium on the hydrogen necessary in its production. Competitive pressures demand high performance with maximum safety and production flexibility.

Application

Measurement of crude distillation columns

Accurate and reliable measurement of crude distillation columns is critical for yield accounting, attaining production targets, planning and scheduling. The feed rate must be maximized, whilst ensuring that the mixture of crude types meets environmental specifications. Moreover, errors in measurements can lead to costly shutdowns or off spec products.

Our expertise in the field

Sentasy engineers help design and select the right devices for your specific critical measuring points.

Reliable desulfurization

Ever stricter environmental regulations require significant reductions in the sulfur content of oil products, and such reductions can only be achieved through catalytic desulfurization in a hydrofiner. A key challenge for plant operators is to prevent channeling and hotspots within the hydrofiner for reliable desulfurization.

Our expertise in the field

Proven in use in many applications around the world, the Sentasy multipoint temperature assembly MultiSens Flex contains multiple temperature sensors mounted in an individual nozzle. Your vessel requires only a minimal number of nozzles and openings to provide sufficient temperature measuring points for 3D monitoring and controlled, reliable desulfurization.

Steam boiler efficiency monitoring

The investment cost for a typical steam boiler can be considerable, and yet the very same boiler can consume as much as five times its initial capital cost in annual fuel consumption alone. Marginal gains in steam boiler fuel efficiency can therefore bring significant gains in overall oil refinery financial performance.

Our expertise in the field

Sentasy smart scale energy solutions for steam systems enable optimal steam boiler monitoring to unlock fuel efficiencies.
