HYDROCARBON RESOURCES WASTE MONITORING SYSTEM AT THE REFINERIES

The present status of the energy resources efficiency in Ukraine and CIS countries can be defined as one that does not meet modern requirements. One of the reasons for this is the excessive waste of hydrocarbons. Particularly acute this problem is in the field of oil refining. Most of the processing units on the CIS countries territory were built in 60-70 years, when energy savings were not given much importance. To date, refinery equipment are worn out, the power consumption and the level of hydrocarbons waste in the basic processes on 30-60% higher than in modern foreign plants. This is explained by the crisis theories and methods of energy-efficient hydrocarbon resources use. This is the urgent need now in comprehensive introduction into practice new techniques and new energy efficient equipment based on preventing excessive hydrocarbons waste during oil processing, storage and shipment of petroleum products at the refinery The paper describes the functional model of energy efficiency management system and the main stages the hydrocarbon resources waste monitoring system implementation at the refineries. This system contributes to the effective management of the refinery units, decreases the power and crude oil consumption expenditures and provides the possibility of obtaining higher quality oil products while reducing human impact on the environment.
В статті описана функціональна хіммотологічна модель системи управління енергоефективністю i основні етапи впровадження та функціонування системи моніторингу втрат вуглеводневих ресурсів на нафтопереробних заводах. Дана система сприяє ефективному керуванню установками перероблення вуглеводнів, що, в свою чергу, скорочує витрати на енергоносії, сировину нафтопереробних заводів та надає можливості для отримання більш якісних нафтопродуктів при зменшенні антропогенного впливу на навколишнє природне середовище.
