Abstract
Petroleum refineries are tasked by recent legislation to both limit CO2 emissions and to produce low sulfur fuel products. To address these issues, authors incorporated a CO2 management model into an existing hydrogen management model. Authors describe an overall integrated model that solves simultaneously the refinery planning, hydrogen, and CO2 management problems.
They approach optimum CO2 strategy selection through integration of refinery planning with the hydrogen network and CO2 emissions. The model was formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear program (MINLP). The model consists of the refinery emission sources and the considered mitigation options.
