Abstract:
The main objective of this study is to identify the inherent benefits associated with integrating a new petrochemical facility with existing refinery. Petrochemical complexes heavily rely on feedstocks like naphtha and refinery gases, which are frequently produced in oil refineries, ensuring a reliable supply of essential raw materials. Integration between the petrochemical facility and refinery becomes necessary due to their downstream position relative to each other. Moreover, integration allows for leveraging operational synergies, sharing resources, infrastructure, and expertise to optimize operations and enhance productivity. Refineries known for their advanced technologies, and production of high-quality products from crude oil.
