JNTUK B.Tech Petroleum Refinery Engineering gives you detail information of Petroleum Refinery Engineering R13 syllabus It will be help full to understand you complete curriculum of the year.
Learning Objectives
- To learn the properties and their significance of crude oils and Petroleum fractions.
- To learn about design, operation and analysis of the various petroleum refinery processes including primary, secondary and supporting processes.
UNIT-I: Introduction: Overall refinery operations & Indian scenario. Refinery feed stocks: Crude oil classification-Composition and properties-Composition of petroleum crude suitable for asphalt/coke manufacture – Evaluation of crude oils.
UNIT-II: Petroleum Products and their specifications: LPG- Gasoline- Diesel fuels- Jet and turbine fuels –Lube oils-Heating oils – Residual fuel oils – wax and asphalt- Petroleum coke- All Product specifications- Evaluation of all products- Product blending.
UNIT-III: Crude distillation: Atmospheric and Vacuum distillation units, material and energy balances– Auxiliary equipment such as desalters, pipestill heaters and heat exchanger trains etc.
UNIT-IV: Thermal & catalytic cracking processes: Vis breaking, Hydrovis breaking, Thermal cracking, Delayed coking, Catalytic cracking, Fluid Catalytic cracking and Hydrocracking – Feed stocks – Feed treating – Catalysts – Process variables –Product Recoveries- Yield estimation-Latest developments.
UNIT-V: Hydroprocessing: Naphtha, Distillate (Kerosene/ Diesel/ Cycle oils), Gas oil and Resid hydro processing –– Different hydroprocessing technologies for feed stock and product treatment. Lube Oil Refining: Lubricant base oil processes-Deasphalting-Solvent Extraction
UNIT-VI: Catalytic reforming and isomerization: Catalytic reforming processes – Isomerization Processes -Feed stocks-Feed preparation – Yields. Alkylation Processes: Alkylation feed stocks – Products – Catalysts – Hydrofluoric Acid and sulfuric acid alkylation processes – Comparison of processes. Supporting processes: Hydrogen production and purification – Gas processing technologies -– Sulfur recovery processes – Sweetening processes.
Outcomes: The students will be able to have thorough understanding of the following aspects:
- For a given crude assay, how to handle and store the crude oil.
- What will be the yield, quality of the product, estimation for the primary processes and treatment considerations.
- Characteristics such as crackability and reformability of the petroleum fractions.
- Maximizing the profitable products and minimize the quality giveaway.
- Processing the opportunity crudes (e.g. Blending with other crudes) to maximize the throughput and gross margin.
- Application of suitable Hydroprocessing/treatment technologies to meet product qualities and to minimize the CAPEX&OPEX (capital and operating expenditure).
- Application of suitable thermal/catalytic conversion (cracking) processes for Vacuum gas oil/resid-upgradation and to produce desired fuel blend components and petrochemical feed stocks.
- Application of suitable non – cracking (alkylation, reforming, isomerization) for converting light ends/ naphtha cuts to meet the desired gasoline blends.
- The refinery Hydrogen demand and its balance, applications of suitable feed stock/technology to meet the hydrogen quantity and quality demands.
- Application of suitable amine treating techniques and design considerations for purification of various sour gas steams generated in the refinery units.
- Application of caustic extraction & catalytic sweetening techniques for removal of H2S & mercaptans fraction from light naphtha and LPG fractions.
