Industrial cogeneration case study No. 4, Amoco Oil Refinery, Wood River, Illinois

Technical Report · Thu May 01 04:00:00 EDT 1980

OSTI ID:5980258

A case study of the cogeneration operation at the Amoco Oil Refinery at Wood River, Illinois, is presented. The objective of the project, the methodology, and the site selection measures are discussed in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 describes the Amoco refinery and discusses how its on-site electric generation evolved to its current state. Chapter 3 describes and discusses the cogeneration plant at the Amoco refinery, and Chapter 4 provides an evaluation of the energy use characteristics and economics at Amoco's cogeneration operation. The evaluation is performed by comparing the economics and energy use characteristics of on-site cogenerated electric power with the economics and energy use characteristics of electric utility provided power which would be required in the absence of on-site generation.
