Request Expert

Mr. W. Expert has evaluated many major capital investments for petroleum refining applications. His studies have compared alternative process options, and he has evaluated pricing and cost sensitivities and all economic payout data. The scope of these projects exceeds $100 million. After drawing conclusions from his research, Expert defines the best course of action and recommends the timing of installations, when appropriate. He has used various refinery simulation systems and both linear and nonlinear modeling techniques to complete these projects.

Expert has defined the economics of alternative refining options, raw material choices, product mixes, operating capacity expansions, and other refining technological innovations. He has ascertained refinery operating changes and economic benefits of such moves.


Expert has developed and analyzed output from numerous linear programming (LP) models of various refining systems, including individual refineries and multi-refinery systems. He is especially adept at analyzing model results and defining appropriate actions. He has used LP technology to define alternative refinery operating options and their associated economic value. Expert has managed a linear programming function for a major, mid-western refinery.

Over the course of his career, Expert has assessed many refinery operating flow plans to define the economics of operating options, capacity expansions, alternative processes, new products, and raw materials. He has developed, reviewed, and interpreted linear programming models depicting individual refineries as well as larger refining systems.

Expert is knowledgeable of all phases of refinery operations, processes, planning, and management. He specialized in planning, economic, and modeling functions. Expert scheduled oil pipeline movement and storage of products and crude oils at a major petroleum refinery. He is adept at organizing a systematic approach to solving problems involving conflicting demands on limited operational resources. Expert has determined optimum plans for emergency shutdown of selected portions of a refinery and has defined costs of alternative operating modes, additional product demands, and shifts in raw materials.

Depending on the need and definition of the problem, Expert can develop and interpret linear or nonlinear simulation systems for refinery applications. He has used linear and flow simulation systems for economic, process control, and operational coordination purposes.
