Abstract

Hydrotreatment processes are the most important processes in a modern refinery. Hydrogen availability that enables flexibility in refinery production is a must for a modern refinery. Therefore, optimization in hydrogen production is in focus of both refinery modernization and through the design of new refineries.
On the other hand, to maintain the production of motor fuels being economical, production of fuel oils should be under the limit of 10%.
Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle process (IGCC) is a promising answer to these refinery needs: it is proven technology for the combined production of hydrogen, electric power or petrochemical components from heavy residues.
The goal of this paper is optimization of hydrogen and electric power production from vacuum residue produced from REB crude oil.
