Process design optimisation, heat integration, and techno-economic analysis of oil refinery: A case study

This paper outlines a comprehensive analysis of the optimal design and simulation of a crude oil distillation system within a refinery process, including pre-treatment and blending of two crude oils to increase the refinery’s annual profit. This distillation process is currently in operation, and th...
