The paper identified energy efficiency opportunities available for petroleum refineries. Specific energy savings for each energy efficiency measure based on case studies of plants and
A snapshot of how the petroleum refining sector ranks in terms of energy use and losses within manufacturing is shown in Table 2.4-1. Energy losses are shown in red font. All values are
PDF version includes complete article with source references. Suitable for printing and offline reading.
Typically, refineries can economically improve energy efficiency by 20%. The findings suggest that given available resources and technology, there are substantial opportunities to reduce energy consumption cost-effectively in the petroleum refining industry while maintaining the quality of the products manufactured.
The more energy use, the more urgent it is to meet the demand of petroleum products itself and then there is no way to improve the efficiency of the oil refining industry. The more renewable energy consumed, the higher the efficiency of oil refining industry.
This paper summarizes ENERGY STAR research conducted to develop an Energy Guide for the Petroleum Refining industry. Petroleum refining in the United States is the largest in the world, providing inputs to virtually every economic sector, including the transport sector and the chemical industry.
The current paper reports on the research we conducted to support the U.S. EPA and its work with the petroleum refining industry in developing its Energy Guide. The Energy Guide is currently available online (Worrell and Galitsky, 2005). This paper provides information on potential energy efficiency opportunities for petroleum refineries.
