R. T. Rinne, H. Sunell, P.R. Latour, K.K. Paynter

Abstract

In this paper, control improvements, operating experience and operator acceptance are presented for a computer control and optimization project on a 140 Mbpd crude distillation unit. The process description is followed by a presentation of control objectives and functions (atmospheric residue, distillate yields, energy conservation, product quality); operator tasks; results; operators acceptance; system availability and operating experience. 5 refs.
