This presentation will discuss the role of benchmarking across refinery peer groups to assess energy inefficiencies and strengths, and will then explore how one refiner performed a deep dive into a major refinery process unit and realized a number of low cost/high value energy reduction opportunities for evaluation. Stepping beyond initial evaluation, with potential energy reductions quantified, road mapping is then explored as a tool used to help allocate resources to allow refiners to strategically move towards organizational energy and sustainability goals.
