The coking unit at Maoming Petrochemical can earn an additional profit of over 100,000 yuan per day by using cleaning oil produced in oil production. According to a report from Petroleum Business News (correspondent: Zhong Dahai), on January 16th, it was reported that the company’s No. 1 coking unit successfully utilized such cleaning oil, which **improved the economic efficiency and competitiveness of the unit. What was once “oil waste” has become today’s “oil gold”. To cope with the increasing diversity and deteriorating quality of raw materials, coking units leverage their ability to process various types of raw materials and integrate this advantage with efficiency requirements, thereby finding opportunities to expand the scope of raw material processing and achieving higher outputs from lower inputs. Some dirty oil remains in the cleaning oil produced by refineries during production as well as when they start up or shut down. In the past, this cleaning oil was simply disposed of as waste oil at a low cost. To this end, the coking workshop coordinated with relevant departments to conduct an analysis and evaluation of the cleaning oil. At the same time, by taking into account the properties of the cleaning oil as well as the characteristics of the manufacturing process, the technicians gradually determined the technical parameters for formulating this cleaning oil and developed targeted formulation plans. By blending it with other residue feeds, Coking Unit No. 1 successfully processed line-scraping oil. With a price difference of over 300 yuan per ton between high-quality and low-quality raw materials, an additional profit of over 100,000 yuan can be generated each day. The successful formulation of the line-cleaning oil has provided Maaoming Petrochemical with experience in making full use of crude oil, and it has played a positive role in optimizing resource allocation, reducing production costs, and improving the company’s profitability.
