Discover how KBC’s Petro-SIM Crude Compatibility Tool helps refineries predict asphaltene issues, optimize blends, and improve operational efficiency.
Webinar Overview:
Refineries are increasingly turning to economically attractive “opportunity crudes” sourced from across the globe. However, these varied feedstocks often introduce significant transportation and operational challenges: most notably asphaltene precipitation, which can cause fouling, equipment damage, and production disruptions.
To maintain smooth and efficient refinery operations, it’s essential to accurately predict crude compatibility and optimize crude blending decisions.
Traditional titration-based methods for evaluating crude compatibility are limited in both practicality and accuracy. Testing every possible blend combination is costly and time-consuming, while simple averaging of crude properties fails to capture the complex, non-linear interactions of asphaltenes in blended crudes. These challenges highlight the need for a predictive, simulation-based tool that can be seamlessly integrated into refinery planning and operations.
In this webinar, Asok Tharanivasan, Senior Consultant (Research & Development), will introduce the Multiflash Crude Compatibility Tool (MFCCT) — a powerful thermodynamic framework within Petro-SIM designed to accurately assess the compatibility of crude oil blends.
Join us to discover how this innovative tool enables better decision-making in crude blending and operational planning.
