This paper carries out a comprehensive materials and energy audit for the fabrication of steels and components of petroleum refineries and proposes heat treatment and fabrication strategies which result in both energy and resource conservation. A particular refinery equipment production and steel plant in the Soviet Union is used to illustrate these strategies and as the basis for a cost benefit analysis. Savings in terms of rubles are broken down for operating, production and energy costs for the plant.
