Crude and vacuum distillation units

Technip has delivered nearly 70 atmospheric distillation and over50 vacuum distillation units, most of which based on in-house technologyand know-how.

Improved product quality is the result of optimization studies carried outby Technip on internals, trays, grids, random packing and structuredpacking.

Energy savings are maximized, by in-house developed software using Pinchtechnology to optimize heat exchange.

Progressive crudedistillation *

Limited high-level heating andreduced operating pressures.

The progressive crude distillationprocess has a three-point solution tothe energy dissipation issue.

The first point consists in splittingthe crude pre-heating operation andseparating, at intermediate heatlevels, the cuts vaporized at thesetemperatures. This avoids“superheating” the light cuts anddegrading the thermal levelsassociated with the draw offs of theheavy cuts. Such design limits highlevel heat input and increases thethermal level of the heat that can berecovered at pump arounds anddraw offs.

The second point considered is tooperate the columns at the lowestpossible pressures to reduce boththe heat levels required forseparation and the necessary heatinputs.

As third point, the number offractional crude distillation stages isdetermined so that withdrawnstreams meet the refineryrequirements.

In revamp projects, the progressivedistillation concept is a very efficientand economic solution for increasinggreatly the crude capacity of anexisting ADU/VDU unit withoutreplacing or modifying any majorpieces of equipment (heaters, maintowers, overhead condensingsystems, feed pumps, etc.)

Technip has developed in-house technologies andknow-how to improve product quality andmaximize energy savings

Conventional approach Dynamic approach

Technip has acquired strong experience in building dynamic models for unitssuch as crude distillation units, light hydrocarbon cuts splitters, aromaticcomplexes as well as hydrotreatment reaction loops.

The rigorous application of an in-house developed methodology coupled tothe use of dynamic simulation can be applied:

To revamps and may demonstrate the possibility of accommodatingadditional relief loads within existing flare headers, resulting in substantialsavings on overall investments.

To large high conversion refineries, since the engineering design stage, andmay lead to considerable reductions of the number of relief valves, the mainheader sizes, the flare radiation diameter, and their associated installationcosts.

Modelling of emergency scenarios allowspredicting realistic relief loads and accuratelyassessing the required flare system capacity

14 Oil refining

Crude oil quality in continual decline means that more and more“synthetic crude oils” from non conventional sources such as heavy crudesand new production from “oil sands” are included in the crude oil pool.

Extra-heavy crudes are located mainly in Venezuela, in the “belt”bordering the Orinoco river.

Since 1997, Technip has increased its exposure to and expertise withinthis high added value market by taking part in the design andconstruction of two upgraders, first the Petrozuata refinery, then forSincor, one of the biggest extra-heavy crudes production projects in the world.

The Sincor plant involves a mild hydrocracker and a high pressurehydrotreating unit of unusually large capacity.

Part of these units was built from modules that were pre-assembledin Singapore and shipped in Venezuela.

Technip is currently executing the FEED for the Petrocarabobo Upgraderin Venezuela.

Upgrader projects Technology references

Heavy crude oilsTechnip’s involvement in the design andconstruction of the Alberta oil sandsprimary upgrading processes in Canadaincludes diluent recovery, vacuumdistillation and delayed cokingtechnologies. Technip has also designedand built hydrogen production units tosupport the oil sands secondary upgraders.

One particular aspect of all thesetechnologies is the very large capacity ofprocess units such as the delayed cokerwith a capacity in excess of 150,000 bpsd,or the steam reformers producing 200,000Nm3/h of hydrogen.
