A Little Recap?
What is Gross Refinery Margin (GRM) and NeRefining Margin (NRM) ?
One way to represent the economics of a refinery is tcalculate its Gross Refinery Margin. GRM is the differencbetween crude oil price and total value of petroleumproducts produced by the refinery. The difference in dollar
per barrel between its product revenue (sum of barrels oeach product multiplied by the price of each product) anthe cost of raw materials (crude oil and other inputs).
The Net or Cash Margin is equal to the gross margin minuthe operating costs (excluding income taxes, depreciatio
and financial charges).Gross Refining Margin (GRM) = Value of petroleum products cost of crude

A Little Recap?
What is a Crack Spread? Refiners profits are tied directly to the spread, or difference
between the price of crude oil and the prices of majorefined products gasoline and diesel.
This spread is referred to as a crack spread. It is namesuch because the refining process that cracks crude o
into its major refined products. The most common type of crack spread is the simple 1:
crack spread, which represents the refinery profit margibetween the refined products (gasoline) and crude oil.
The crack spread is quoted in dollars per barrel.

A Little Recap?
What is Multiple-product crack spreads?
The most common multiple-product crack spread is the 3:2crack spread. A 3:2:1 crack spread reflects gasoline andiesel production revenues from refining industry, whicgenerally produces roughly 2 barrels of gasoline for eve
barrel of diesel. The 3:2:1 crack spread is calculated by subtracting the pric
of 3 barrels of oil from the price of 2 barrels of gasoline andbarrel of diesel.
3-2-1 Crack Spread ($/Bbl) = (2 x Gasoline Price +1 x Distillate Price -3 x Crude Oil Price)/3
Additional ratios used for multiple-product crack spreadinclude 5:3:2 and 2:1:1.

India will be among the countries that feel the pinch of risinoil prices, given its high dependence on imports.
For the financial year 2011-12, Indias oil import bill has rise40% to over USD 140 billion, and this accounts for nearlone-third of all imports.

Impact of Crude Cost
It is essential to reduce crude oil cost to improve margin anstay competitive.
The differential in crude oil price and processing costs arthe most influential factors that determine crude selection.
Normally Low Sulphur crude oils are costlier than HigSulphur crude oils
Tough / Dirty crudes are cheaper and can lead to bettemargin.
As per worldwide trends, at present, the refining industry processing opportunity crude oils, as benchmark crudprices are hovering around $100/bbl.
These crude oils are available at cheaper prices due tinferior qualities (High S, TAN, Residue).

Impact of Crude Cost
Processing tough/dirty crude is a challenge due toCost primarily associated with hydro-processing and residu
evacuation .Fuel specifications have become more stringent with strictenvironmental regulations.
Processing tough/dirty crude may give less value-added product, bstill product demand has to be met.
Opportunity crude oils not only influence the processincost due to hydrogen deficiencies, but they also producmore by-products and residues that must be upgraded oblended off with cutter stocks such as kerosene/diesel or alower-cost fuel oils (FOs).
Residue is the key focus for refinery profitability as withouresidue-upgrading facilities, such as Delayed Coker, SolvenDe-waxing, Visbreaker, etc., the residues have to bevacuated at the lowest cost.

Refinery configuration and GRM
One solution is to design a grass-root refinery designespecifically for these types of tough/dirty crude oil.
For existing refineries, the real challenge is to equip threfinery through concrete time-bound actions to procesthese crudes profitably by improving configuration.
Configurations of refineries in India have changedramatically over the last three decades.
In 60s and 70s, Indian refineries were built based oprocessing of either indigenous crudes from the northeasregion or imported crude oils.
These refineries were of low capacity. The largest being o
about 3MTPA and were characterized by simplconfigurations consisting of AVU, CRU, DCU and treatinunits for LPG, Kerosene etc.

But unlike units installed in USA and Europe, these unitwere first of their type in the sense that they were designeto operate at low severity and to selectively produce mormiddle distillate.
In 80s, major increase in the demand of middle distillatewere foreseen. Hydro-cracking option offered a technicallacceptable route to maximize the production of midddistillates of very high quality and to offer the flexibility oupgrading existing refinery streams to the desired producquality by blending.

Distillation Improvement
One of the most important factor influencing distillatiocolumn efficiency is overhead condenser condition an
circulating water temperature. Proper upkeep of these twsystems helps distillate improvement significantly.
For plants that are in locations that experience shardifference between day-nighttemperature or summer-wintetemperature, judicious adjustment in column pressur
(according to a decrease in cooling water temperature) caresult in significant energy saving. This can be easilachieved through multivariable control (Reflux Temp as DV)
Damaged or worn column internals may result in increaseoperation costs due to efficiency reduction and pressurdrops rise. Replacing the trays with new ones or adding high performance packing can improve distillation efficiencand result in higher distillate yield.

estimated at about 75-90%.The efficiency of heaters can be improved by improving heatransfer characteristics, enhancing flame luminosity, installinrecuperators or air pre-heaters and improved controls.
Regular maintenance of burners, draft control and pas

Heating and cooling are operations used in all unitthroughout the refinery. Within a single process multiplstreams are heated and cooled multiple times. Therefore this ia major improvement area. Optimal use and design of heaexchangers is a key area for margin improvement.

Currently, various methods to reduce fouling focus on procescontrol, temperature control, regular maintenance and cleaninof the heat exchangers (either mechanically or chemically).

Heat Integration or Pinch Technology refers to the exploitatioof potential synergies that are inherent in any system thaconsists of multiple components working together.
In plants that have multiple heating and cooling demands, thuse of process integration techniques may significantlimprove efficiencies through appropriate exchange oenthalpy.Heat integration is the art of ensuring that the exchangin
streams are well suited and matched in terms of size, functioand capability.Pinch analysis takes a systematic approach to identifying ancorrecting the performance limiting constraint (or pinch) in anmanufacturing process. It was developed in the late 1970s iresponse to the energy crisis of the 1970s and the need treduce steam and fuel consumption by optimizing the desigof heat exchanger networks.

There are two main ways to increase pump system efficiency, asidfrom reducing use. These are reducing the friction in dynamic pum
systems or adjusting the system so that it draws closer to the besefficiency point (BEP) on the pump curve.
Correct sizing of pipes, surface coating or polishing and adjustablspeed drives may reduce the friction loss, increasing energy efficiency.
