Title: Energy Bandwidth for Petroleum Refining Processes

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1218664· OSTI ID:1218664

The petroleum refining energy bandwidth report analyzes the most energy-intensive unit operations used in U.S. refineries: crude oil distillation, fluid catalytic cracking, catalytic hydrotreating, catalytic reforming, and alkylation. The "bandwidth" provides a snapshot of the energy losses that can potentially be recovered through best practices and technology R&D.
