About The Webinar

 

Expanding on the topic, the webinar aims to delve into the comprehensive overview of hydrocarbon management within a refinery setting, addressing the pivotal issue of oil loss which typically ranges between 0.5-1%. This percentage, albeit seemingly minor, can translate into significant financial implications given the vast quantities of oil processed daily in refineries. The process of quantifying this loss falls under the domain of hydrocarbon management or mass reconciliation—a critical facet of refinery operations that ensures efficiency and sustainability.

Hydrocarbon management encompasses a series of procedures aimed at tracking, analyzing, and optimizing the flow of hydrocarbons from the point of entry to the final product stages. Given the complexity and the sheer volume of transactions, both manual and automated methods are employed to achieve accurate reconciliation. Manual methods, while traditional, are increasingly being supplemented or replaced by sophisticated automated systems due to their ability to process large datasets with greater accuracy and efficiency.
