Integrated Refinery and Petrochemical Complex Finds USD 200 Million/Yr in Savings

KBC A Yokogawa Company worked with a leading open communication service provider operating an integrated refinery and petrochemical complex in Asia. The customer wanted to integrate the assets into a best-in-class, energy-efficient, environmentally friendly complex that could maximize high-value petrochemical products while reducing future rework, capex, and opex.

KBC A Yokogawa Company carried out a design review study using LP and simulation modeling, weekly stakeholder communication, and a one-team approach with the client, licensors, and PMC to identify and evaluate improvement opportunities. The work optimized the product slate, crude selection, stream routing, energy use, turnaround planning, and power system design, delivering identified savings and improvement opportunities worth about USD 200 million per year and reducing capex by USD 200 million per year.
