Title A name given to the resource Simulation, optimisation and analysis of energy saving in crude oil distillation unit Subject The topic of the resource Aspen HYSYS simulation; ASTM D86; Atmospheric column; CDU; Crude oil distillation; Energy saving; Optimisation; TBP; TBP curve; True boiling point; Vacuum column Description An account of the resource Physical distillation is the major process in crude oil refineries as of now. To ensure quality control in the final products, it is essential to ascertain the true boiling point of the crude oil and the products. The work is mainly concentrated to an industrial crude oil distillation unit. The objective of the paper is to present the simulation and optimisation of crude distillation unit (CDU) along with the analysis of energy saving, using Aspen HYSYS V8.8.2. Different crudes are taken into account, their properties and amount of distillate are analysed. The process optimisation is done in an easier manner using Aspen HYSYS rather than the conventional mathematical method, together with the advanced process control tools; make it profitable in the operation in real-time. The simulation results are validated with the actual plant results. Copyright 2018 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
