08.55 Welcome and Chairman's Opening Remarks
09.00 Keynote addres: Insights into energy: in particular steam usage in refineries from Solomon's 2010 Competitive Performance Analysis Study
• Steam plays a major role as an energy source in many refineries
• Analysis of refinery energy efficiency versus steam consumption across the industry shows interesting results
• Reduction in steam consumption enhanced by detailed comparisons versus world's most efficient refineries
Lawrie Anness, SOLOMON ASSOCIATES
09.30 Steam network optimisation in a petroleum refinery - how small steps really count
• Typical problems found in steam systems, financial losses caused by them and solutions to the problems
• Best practices to improve energy efficiency of the steam system
• Steam system energy savings potential can be significant without any capex investments
Matti Koskinen, NESTE JACOBS
10.00 Energy management system at Kuwait Petroleum Europoort refinery
• Energy management system at Kuwait Petroleum Europoort refinery
• In house development of an energy dashboard
• Manage energy in a glance for specific area's throughout the refinery
• Real time plant data related to Performance Indicators show energy effects in euro's
Jan Maarten van der Steen, KUWAIT PETROLEUM
10.30 Morning break
11.00 Boiler energy efficiency and reliability optimisation by novel control technology
• Case history detailing the benefits of advanced boiler feed water control, including safeguarding production
• Detect upsets real-time and deliver solutions before the damage is done
• Total estimated annual savings exceeding €350k
Valerie Bour Beucler, NALCO
11.30 Refinery energy management system according to the requirements of ISO 50001
• Overcoming barriers to improved energy efficiency by effective Energy Management based on ISO50001
• Identifying essential aspects, do's and don'ts of Energy Management
• Illustrating industry best practices by means of recent case studies in refineries and other industry sectors
Mieke Dams, DNV KEMA
12.00 Are you hungry for a little more? A novel method to measure the O2 content in fired heaters
• Operation of fired heaters closest to the optimum is critical from the viewpoint of fuel gas consumption in order to prevent losses and to avoid undesired emissions (HC, CO, NOx)
• TDL (Tunable Diode Laser) in-situ analysers combined with conventional in-situ analysers offers a greater chance to operate burners with higher efficiency
• Challenges and experiences using TDL analysers and what MOL plan for the future
Gábor Bereznai, MOL
12.30 Lunch
13.30 Lunch keynote address: Trends in energy efficiency of EU refineries
• How much energy is used by EU refineries?
• What sources of energy are used?
• How is refinery energy efficiency measured and tracked?
• What is the share of energy in refinery operating costs?
Alan Reid, CONCAWE
14.00 Waste heat utilisation to reduce GHG emissions?
• Impact of waste heat utilisation on GHG emissions reductions
• Overview of various solutions for waste heat utilisation
• Optimal integration of solutions utilising site-wide pinch analysis
Jos Sentjens, JACOBS CONSULTANCY
14.30 Energy efficiency programme in Tüpraş' Izmit refinery in 2011
• Organisational transformation on the way to Q1 target for EII; energy management activities in 2011
• Substantial EII improvement during the year 2011 as a result of both operational best practices and implemented projects
• Future investment plans and activities for continuous and sustainable improvement. Touching all inefficient areas from illumination to heat integration with great motivation and a cost/benefit optimisation investment plan
Erhan Oğuş, TÜPRAŞ & Mark Smith, SOLOMON ASSOCIATES
15.00 Afternoon break
15.30 CASE STUDY: Implementation of an on-line model for energy costs reduction at Raffineria di Milazzo
• Energy management system (Visual MESA) implementation
• Results on energy bill reduction
• Emissions modeling and management
Diego Ruiz, SOTEICA
16.00 Operation key performance energy indicators
• Development and implementation of Key Performance Energy Indicators, to allow operational staff to be assessed on energy efficiency, performance displayed in financial terms
• Results are automatically registered and a dedicated server ranks teams by performance on a monthly basis
• Introduction of a yearly energy efficiency managing championship with a cash prize for the best performing team
Andrea Bernetti, ISAB
16.30 CASE STUDY: Implementation of APC on crude unit #1 at Total Lindsey Oil Refinery
• Increased throughput and improved yields while keeping product qualities at targets
• Further benefits and efficiency gains are realized in downstream units because proper product quality control helps reduce occurrence of material going to the wrong units
• GCC (generalised cutpoint calculation) makes use of heat balance in its prediction, when lighter or heavier crude comes into the column it immediately alters the heat balance
Zak Friedman, PETROCONTROL & Laurent Ferrari, TOTAL
17.00 Drinks reception and conference close
