Round table: Trends in Petroleum Refinning5. Chemistry and Petrochemistry - O - MS-1 - “Trends in petroleum refining”TRENDS IN PETROLEUM REFININGPaul ROSCA, Dorin STANICA EZEANUOil and Gas University of Ploiesti, 39 Bucuresti Bvd., RomaniaCrude oil is and will remain the main source for fuels production. Besides increasing of oilconsumption it is observed a significant change of petroleum product demand. The marketreports a severe reduction of heavy fuels consumption and an increasing of Diesel fuels. Newrestrictions on the emissions demand a very high purity for petroleum products.The new market forces and environmental constraint regulations for oil products associatedwith a decrease of crude oil quality have lead to major changes in the refining schemas:- new processes for upgrading the bottom of the barrel by hydroconversion, deasphalting,cocking or visbreaking of vacuum residue;- new processes for environmentally friendly fuels production like hydrofining (HDS,HDN, metal removal) of residues, reformulated gasoline processes (alkylation,polymerization, isomerisation, etherification)-aditional hydrogen production from partial oxidation or steam reforming.Individual technologies and better planning and blending alone will not necessarily lead tosuccess. Today’s challenges require a more integrated approach. Technological solutions mustbe combined with programs to achieve operational excellence and improve enterprisemanagement.
