Description:

KBC/Profimatics kinetic process models were developed and validated for various process units at a complex ConocoPhillips US refinery. Although the primary goal was to improve the refinery LP representation, the models were also used to obtain benefits through unit optimization and monitoring. Examples are given for implemented benefits derived from improvements in the LP, from periodic application of the unit monitoring tools, and by use of the SIM model unit optimization tool. Key success factors for the project included a strong focus on obtaining the best possible model representation for each unit, project coordination by dedicated ConocoPhillips corporate staff, and early agreement on a plan and schedule for maintaining the tools and work processes developed during the project.
