Martinez Refinery Completes Plant-Wide Energy Assessment

Karen Atkison

    Research output: NRELBrochure

    Abstract

    This OIT BestPractices Case Study describes how the Equilon Enterprises oil refinery in Martinez, California undertook a plant-wide energy assessment that focused on three key areas: waste minimization, process debottlenecking, and operations optimization. The assessment yielded recommendations, which, if implemented, can save more than 6,000,000 MMBtu per year and an estimated $52,000,000 peryear, plus improve process control and reduce waste.
