The refinery of the future will be capable of converting a large portion of any crude oil to higher-value finished products while simultaneously cost-effectively managing expenses. Conversion of relatively low-valued residuals such as pitch and coke to electricity, steam and hydrogen (coproduction) will rapidly become important to these refiners as market demand for residual products declines. But under what conditions does coproduction become attractive To better understand the economics of coproduction of electricity, steam and hydrogen, Texaco and Bonner Moore used the Bonner Moore refinery modeling system, RPMS[reg sign]2000, to model a typical US Gulf Coast (USGC) refinery. The authors then added a coker and associated facilities to the model, while maintaining a fixed crude slate to investigate the addition of a Texaco Gasification Power System (TGPS) coproduction plant to convert the coke. The effects of incremental changes in coke, electricity, steam and hydrogen prices on profitability are also discussed.
