CONCLUSIONS<br />

The maturing oil <strong>and</strong> gas industry is finding its refinery processes<br />

<strong>and</strong> in-plant utilities to be rich sources of plant improvement <strong>and</strong><br />

profitability. Instead of the flaring the by-product waste gases, it is<br />

now harnessing them to power the refinery electrical generation <strong>and</strong><br />

process steam production. In so doing, the refineries are becoming<br />

more self-sufficient; thus achieving better plant reliability, lowering<br />

refinery utility costs <strong>and</strong> increasing operating profit <strong>and</strong> improving<br />

the environment.
