About The Webinar

A refinery typically produces 45-65% fuel products (gasoline, diesel, LPG, fuel oil) of its crude throughput by blending 10-12 refinery products that vary in quality and monetary value. These fuel products have rigorous specifications to meet, and refineries use automated fuel blending control systems to optimize and control their properties.

This webinar discusses a methodology to benchmark the state of the fuels blending system in a refinery to compare with other refineries using two indices, Automation Effectiveness, and Operational Efficiency. These two indices also gauge the budgetary investment required to convert the manual to an automated system or upgrade the automated system to a state-of-the-art blending control system.
