Modeling and Simulation
Simulation of the refinery steam flow using Petrosim program
Input data: flows, temperatures, pressure on each consumers
Considered data:
 Mass balance from 2011, 2012, 2013
 Operational procedure for accidental shutdown of refinery Petrobrazi
 Input data & data received from plants operators
 Plot plans and Pipeline routes ( updated “in house”)

 Simulations were done for winter conditions: normal operation conditions wind
velocity 2m/s and temperature - 10 ºC

Actual production and consumption

HPS_P_C

Main results of simulations:

1DRB, 2 DRB - assure the requested parameters for all consumers at battery limits of the plants
3 Raf - assure the requested parameters for PTB
- was evaluated in order to process all steam mass flow, not suitable
2 Raf – cannot assure parameters at battery limits

PROPOSALS

•Cold stand-by 3 Raf header and completed connection with 1,2 DRB headers ( 2 Raf header to maintain in cold
stand by as it is ). 1DRB, 2 DRB can assure the requested parameters for all consumers at battery
limits of the plants

•Improve monitoring and control parameters at Cogen based on critical consumer demands (turbo blower FCC)
At flow of 98, 4t / h() , in order to meet the minimum requirements of consumers (FCC –turbo blower
32 barg /300 ° C and RC2: 30 barg /320 ° C) at Cogen should be a pressure of 33.8 barg /330 ° C
not 34,6 barg, 341,8 ° C

MP Steam Network
MP Steam Network consists, in general, in 3 main headers :
• 2 Raf : start Cogen – Node(PT) Raf – one branch to Isomerization till area 70 and one branch to FCC and
main collector in D point here header is connected with 2 DRB and 1 CPP
•2 DRB : start Cogen , via RC2, and finish RC1 via Thermal point PT Raf and PTB
•1 CPP

Actual production and consumption

MPS_P_C

Main results of simulations

- parameters for all consumers at battery limits of the plants are in specifications
- Let Downs( LD HP-MP_Cx, LD ) are necessary in order to maintain pressure on LPS
network

 MP Steam Network
PROPOSALS

•Maintain actual mode to feed DAV with MP steam; the alternative reserve pipe (from S822 to S885 valve)
remain in cold stand by ( temperature parameter is lower than actual)
•Assessment possibilities to consume the MPS from network only in emergency case in RC2 plants

Actual production and consumption

Main results of simulations

- parameters for all consumers at battery limits of the plants are in specifications only by using
letdowns LD MP-LP ( PT RAF,PT DRB, AD, Isomerization) in order to avoid condensation in
AD.

Proposals

•Asses impact of supplying DGRS New with LP steam produced from Cx and internal letdown LDMp-Lp- DGRS Old(by a section of 2
DRB )

•Evaluate the possibilities to feed Conrad with steam by other economical way ; the steam is used discontinuous at a oven for electrical
engine drying

•Evaluate Production proposal to out of function pipes which feed RGF2; the consumer can be supply by electrical heating

•Cold stand by VJ007 pipe from interconnection with VJ003 (R 17 ) to Area 43 (R 35) due to small diameter

Suggestions further to reduce lossess

• Repair drainage pipes insulation in order to avoid condensation

• Optimize number of steam traps; Implement a steam-trap maintenance program
• Check all diaphragms and install diaphragm at Letdown LD HP-MP Cx and Let downs LD MP-LP ( PT
RAF, PT DRB, AD, Isomerization) with indication in DCS ; install pressure and temperature device for
LPS at C x and DGRS old
• Identify best candidates and assess options to enhance saturated steam quality by using alternative solution
to let – downs.
• Optimize LP steam trace distributors
