APC reduces the standarddeviation typically by 50%.

The process can be run closerto the optimum constraints =>

Energy saving, reduction of offspecs or give away

Typical APC project ROI is less than 6 months.

Alarm management projects

The objective of an Alarm Management project is giving operators atool for efficient, correct and in-time notifications on DCS in case ofabnormal situations.

The value of improved alarmmanagement is to increase theoperator’s ability to determine what ishappening and provide a correct

happening and provide a correctresponse.

The “payback” of Alarm ManagementProjects is the need/must to make asafer plant management, since it iswell documented that inefficient alarmsystems affect the occurrence ofrelevant accidents.

Energy Efficiency in a RefinerySARTEC has been certified as Energy Service Company (E.S.Co), in compliance with UNI CEIEN 11352: 2014 standard, providing a broad range of energy solutions including designand implementation of energy saving projects, energy analysis and energy consulting servicesfor the industrial and public sectors.

Sartec approach:1) Energy Audit, consisting of :

- collection of relevant data and information,- identification of the stages of the process and the most energy-consuming machines,- analysis of energy productions and consumptions, - identification of improvements and opportunities to apply energy-savings technologies.

| SARTEC 18

- identification of improvements and opportunities to apply energy-savings technologies.

2) Energy model and energy vectors identificationThe model covers all the processes and each energy source (electrical, thermal, steam, water, etc.). The goal is to create an energy flow inventory, of the different functional areas of the asset.

3) Energy performance indicator analysisFor each functional area an energy performance indicator can be derived. This number represents the quality of the energy consumption and iscompared to the reference energy indicator. This comparison allows toidentify any bad performances of a process, in order to propose dedicatedenergy efficiency improvements measures.

There are various possible “problems”concerning the use of water on atypical site.Any of the areas shown may create aneed for a water systems evaluation.

In a complex site, like a refinery, it isstrategically important to manage thewater network not only to preventenvironmental problems at the discharge,but also to:

� Reduce the water consumption

� Reduce the water management cost

� Improve the impact of water on
