Modular Refining - Get Started
Cagnew Energy Services (Cagnew ES) will develop a detailed proposal and financial analysis tool for your review. To get started we will require some basic information about your project.
To begin the process Cagnew ES will need to know the characteristics of the crude sources you plan to utilize. The most common comprehensive document depicting the crude characteristics is a True Boiling Point Assay (TBP assay). This is a common document available for most type of crudes. More specifically we are looking for the following common crude tests which are typically included in the TBP Assay:
- ASTM D2982 - Yield Volume
- ASTM D5236 - Yield Mass
- ASTM D4294 - Sulphur Content of Cuts
The document to the left is a sample TBP Assay available from ExxonMobil's website. Most major suppliers have similar documents. The items underlined in red are the critical items in determining the financial feasibility of the project, and will help determine if the products requested are feasible with a given crude source.
The "cut volume %" row tells us how much of the core products are available inside of the crude, while the "Sulphur wt%" row tells us how much sulphur is in the overall crude as well as each cut.
If a TBP Assay is not readily available Cagnew ES can make some assumptions utilizing similar crude sources if we have the API number and the overall sulphur content of the crude.
- Naphtha
- Kerosene
- Diesel
- Heavy Fuel Oils
- Vacuum Fuel Oils
- Residual
- Gasoline (85 - 97 Octane)
- JET Fuels (JET A, JET A1, JP54, etc.)
- Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD, EN590, etc.)
- IMO 2020 Compliant Bunker Fuel (VLSFO)
- Bunker Fuel (MGO, IFO 380, IFO 180)
- Asphalt Components
Cagnew ES will need to understand the products, and the quantity of those products, that you wish to produce. The table at the right lists some of the more common products.
If you have specifications for the products, please provide them if possible. If not, terms like "87 Octane Gasoline" or "Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel" will suffice.
Every crude oil will contain some degree of Naphtha, Kerosene, Diesel, Heavy Fuel Oils, and Residual. These products can be obtained by utilizing an Atmospheric Distillation Unit (ADU). More refined products such as High Octane Gasoline, Low Sulphur Diesel, and Jet Fuel will require additional equipment such as a Hydro-Treater, Catalytic Reformer, or MEROX unit. This additional equipment is required to get the products to specification.
Cagnew ES will analyze the client's requirements and produce a detailed financial analysis along with the proposal.
Finally Cagnew ES will need to understand some of the site conditions. Understandably some clients prefer to keep the project location confidential. The following table lists some of the site characteristics that will assist us in the analysis of the project.
