Transfer and Stockpiling Operations in the Crude Oil Refining Industry provides an overview of crude oil refining processes highlighting stockpiling operations, which unfortunately tend to be underestimated in comparison with processing units operations like FCC and hydrotreating. The book presents a deep analysis of the current context and challenges imposed on players in the downstream industry and how the stockpiling operations can help the refiners achieve flexibility and better competitive positioning. How stockpiling managers can use their knowledge to call attention to stockpiling assets and manage process safety and performance adequately is described. This book
• Offers a simplified approach to crude oil refining processes.
• Discusses economic information related to the downstream business and the role of stockpiling operations in the refining business.
• Introduces newer trends in the industry, such as synergy between FCC and hydrocracking technologies as a strategy to maximize profitability and modern naphtha alkylation technologies as a safety route to achieve high quality and low sulfur gasoline.
• Presents challenges related to adequate process safety and asset management in stockpiling operations.
• Describes the main interfaces between the stockpiling operations of a crude oil refinery and relevant areas like midstream companies and how to manage this relation.
Offering a contemporary view of current challenges and opportunities in the downstream oil and gas business, this practical book is aimed at readers working in the fields of petroleum and chemical engineering, calling attention to the relevance of stockpiling operations to the global results of the refineries.
