Digital Twins: Demystifying Asset and Visual Twins - Insights into Digital Twins, Keys to Their Successful Creation and Value
Digitalization
In the context of a refinery, petrochemical or chemical facility, Digital Twins can be used to model and simulate the structure and behavior of equipment, systems, and processes. This session will decompose and demystify the ‘Asset’ and ‘Visual’ virtual representations and their association with one another as Digital Twins. Supported by key use cases that are commonly faced by every operating facility along with actual achieved benefits.
Participants will:
- Gain a basic practical understanding Digital Twins in their primary forms,
- Secure guidance as to the accepted prerequisites, methods, and required level of effort to craft and deploy Digital Twins,
- Learn about Digital Twin sustainment challenges and mitigation strategies, and
- The achievable benefits to be realized from Digital Twin initiatives supported by actual use case experiences.

Topic
Oilfield Production Additives Impact on Unconventional Crudes
Crude
Many refiners are processing larger volumes of attractively priced unconventional crudes produced from fracking operations. Contain polymers and other additives that upstream processors are often used to enhance oil recovery or address hydraulic limitations in their operations. These additives can disrupt refining unit operations such as Crude Desalters or restrict the ability of the refiner to meet key product specifications such as JFTOT or NACE Spindle Corrosion test.

Topic
Testing and Modelling Crude Oil Compatibility
Crude
Processing crudes from different sources leaves the possibility of blending incompatible mixtures. Compatibility models uses correlations to estimate the potential to create incompatible mixtures. Understanding the potential for compatibility effects without physically testing the crude provides the ability to choose the crude mix and purchase it while the market factors are favorable and the ability to safely purchase distressed cargos. The paper will discuss the basis of model correlations and the application to actual blends.

Best Practices & Technologies for Processing a Variable Crude Diet
Crude, Coking
Successfully processing a changing crude diet can be a challenge from the tank farm through distillation. Upsets and performance reductions lead to processing cost penalties downstream, loss of production, and environmental impacts through greater emissions and brine water quality issues. Optimizing the design, operational parameters and chemical injection schema from crude receipts through the hot train can minimize these cost penalties and ensure performance is maintained.
