I would like to ask everyone: What is the energy consumption of the absorption stabilization system?
Thread Content
Dear colleagues in the oil industry, what are the typical processing capacities of the catalytic cracking units at your refineries, as well as the energy consumption of the associated absorption and stabilization systems? What is the approximate value calculated based on the new energy coefficient? Thank you all for the discussion
Our facility has three units: one with a capacity of 100,000 tons per year operating in parallel, another with a capacity of 300,000 tons per year also operating in parallel, and one with a capacity of 1.5 million tons per year using a coaxial DCC design (under construction). Stable energy consumption accounts for only a small portion in catalytic units; the main forms of energy used are electricity, circulating water, and the thermal energy from circulating oil.
Our plant has two units: an conventional FCC unit with a capacity of 800,000 tons per year, and another FCC unit using the MIP process with a capacity of 1.2 million tons per year. What was said on the second floor makes sense – the energy consumption in the stabilization zone accounts for a small proportion of the total energy consumption in catalytic cracking. The main portion of the energy consumption in catalytic cracking occurs in the reaction zone, where catalytic coking constitutes a significant part of it.
