Impact of Opportunity Crudes on Desalter Operation and Wastewater Treatment Performance in a Refinery
Abstract
Refiners are increasingly depending on “Opportunity Crudes” to stay competitive and enhance margin in the face of uncertain nature of business at the present times. Opportunity crude is a term to describe newer types of crudes that have not been traditionally processed in the past.The objective of this paper is to demonstrate with the help of case studies the challenges faced by desalters and wastewater treatment plants in refineries processing a variety of opportunity crudes. Measures to overcome such problems are presented with examples. A brief review of the underlying principles of desalters is provided as a background.
