Hello, Experts,

Generally, we look certain variables for any new crude oil approval in petroleum refinery like , LPG H2S,TAN,Total Sulfur,Desalter related issues,CII etc.

In typical crude oil basket, where 8-10 crudes are being processed ,how to optimize any new crude oil approval process time to refinery.

Hi dieselpet07

In my opinion it is necessary to consider impact of new crude oil on refinery economic and process plants.

To see economic impact you can use LP software like PIMS, this can tell you how much refinery profit is increased or decreased when new crude oil is processed, crude oil price, yields and products price are very important.

It is also necessary to consider impact of new crude oil on process plants because depending on crude oil properties it can cause bottlenecks on some units.
