Optimization Services
The refining and petrochemical industries are more global, competitive and complex than before and sometimes quick solutions are needed to meet changing demands or regulations. Our Tactical Technology-Integrated Profitability Solutions (TIPS) provide an operations-focused assessment of your refinery’s existing assets to make short-to-intermediate term improvements. You develop the knowledge to quickly streamline processes, improve throughput and improve profitability with little to no up front investment.
Optimize Your Hydrogen Network
UOP has successfully led more than 50 hydrogen management projects in the past 15 years. Our proven, four-step Hydrogen Management Services begin with a thorough analysis of your refinery’s hydrogen balance to determine minimum requirements and to identify areas for improvement.
Following the analysis, we examine your refinery’s hydrogen purification units to identify hidden profit potential. We help sustain your benefits through UOP’s H2 network model, which allows ongoing optimization and analysis
Save on Energy Costs & Reduce Emissions
There are multiple opportunities for energy savings and emissions reduction across your operation. With our experience and advanced process technology, UOP and Honeywell Process Solutions Energy and CO2 Management Solutions can help your capture hidden savings by optimizing your operation’s energy efficiency.
With a thorough analysis of your refinery, we can determine opportunities for improved operation and control, improved heat recovery, utilities optimization, and better hydrogen and fuel gas management. For many customers, these solutions enhance throughput, improve product quality, maximize equipment performance and increase annual profit by millions.
Once energy optimization has been realized, we employ technology solutions to sustain the benefits and even increase performance over time.
Benchmark and Improve Your Process Units
UOP uses proprietary tools to compare the critical processes of your operation to industry benchmarks and determine areas for improvement such as: throughput, yields, operational practices, process technology implementation and catalyst loadings.
Using your historic data, UOP creates a virtual model of your plant and key equipment, which allows us to consider the technical limits of your equipment as we test various configurations. The outcome is solutions that help you unlock the value of existing process technology, increase capacity for higher-margin products, reduce bottlenecks, integrate idle units into the flow scheme and more.
