AM-07-25 OSBL Considerations for Refinery Expansion Projects

Description:

OSBL Considerations for Refinery Expansion Projects. This paper will focus on the OSBL portion of three example refinery expansion projects consisting of 1) replacing an existing vacuum distillation unit, 2) adding a new vacuum distillation unit and a new delayed coker and 3) adding and integrating a new crude distillation unit, a new delayed coker and a new hydrocracker to a typical FCC based gasoline refinery. The intent will be to identify and compare the various OSBL requirements for each example expansion project and to discuss guidelines for improving the accuracy of the OSBL definition early in project development.
