Fact Sheet Energy in the refinery planning model

Energy modeling structures in refinery planning tools can predict the energy consumption of processing units and steer you

towards optimal energy use. And with energy consumption reaching as much as 10% of overall refinery processing costs,

that’s a significant positive impact on your bottom line.

A world of experienceORTEC Consulting Group has helped refineries across

the world improve their energy modeling in refinery

planning Linear Programming (LP) models, in both PIMS

and SpiralPlan. Collected actual energy consumption

data, can be used with regression tooling to deduct the

proper modeling parameters, implement this in the refinery

planning model and finally provide a recommended work

process for continuous energy monitoring and LP updates.

Accurate predictions Generally speaking, ORTEC Consulting Group models

energy consumption/production in such a way that in the

case of (incidental) reduced intake, energy predictions

remain accurate. Energy sources such as fuel, steam and

electricity can be modeled explicitly, in the case of steam

using different pressure levels. When data is available,

it is also possible to model the energy consumption as

a function of feedstock characteristics or processing

conditions (e.g. severity).

ORTEC Consulting Group setting you on the road to optimal energy use

A future of continuous improvement Energy variance analysis and energy regression tools can

be built to support continuous monitoring, KPI analysis

and recurring updates. Providing refineries not only with

an LP energy implementation, but also the tooling to

carry on the process of continuous improvement of your

energy predictions.
