Abstract:

The current environmental regulations are increasingly stringent,prompting refineries to deepen the hydrogenation process to enhance product quality. However, this will significantly increase hydrogen consumption. In addition, when the adjustment of the hydrogenation unit processing capacity and the switching of crude oil cause impurity content to fluctuate, the working conditions of the hydrogenation unit will deviate. Failing to promptly optimize hydrogen usage during this period may result in decreased product quality or lead to wastage of hydrogen. To ensure product quality compliance, reduce hydrogen consumption, and lower production costs, this paper proposed a multi-period hydrogen network integration method coupled with hydrogenation unit optimization. The method first obtained the optimal operational parameters for each unit across various scenarios using an optimization model. Subsequently, multiple optimized operational scenarios were integrated into the hydrogen network. The proposed method was applied to a case study taken from a real refinery. The results showed that the hydrogen network operating strategy obtained from the proposed method can meet the hydrogenation requirements of hydrogenation units under various scenarios and enable the production of qualified products at lower costs.
