The World Refining Industry towards the 21st Century
International Petroleum Economics, 1999Co-Authors: Sinopec InformationAbstract:The 21st century will be characterized by the intelligent and information economy. All nations in the world will develop their economies by adopting sustainable development strategy. The Refining Industry in the next century will face the challenges of economic and market globalization as well as fierce competitions. It is forced to yield clean and premium oil products. With sustained increases in oil consumption and decline in inferior crude quality, the traditional Refining technologies will not be able to adapt itself to meet the new requirements. On the other hand, there will be three big opportunities for the Refining Industry in the next century: the rich oil sand resources which will provide great potential for its development; the rapid development of advanced technology which will be solidly technological base for its development; and the gas-to-liquid synthesization which will bring the bright prospective for its development. Therefore, all nations in the world, particularly developed nations, have taken or are taking some crucial measures to meet the challenges in the next century. Based on the Chinese practices, the Refining Industry of China must bring the processing total under control, improve the product quality and adjust the structures of product types as well as other enforceable measures in 7 aspects in order to achieve its sustainable development in the next century.

Capital Structure and the Financial Development of the U.S. Sugar-Refining Industry, 1875–1905
The Journal of Economic History, 2000Co-Authors: William M. DoyleAbstract:In this article I develop a taxonomy of financial practices based on whether financial activity is intended to fund new capital investment or to create new financial structures to accommodate planned changes in the structure of an Industry's existing capital stock. The taxonomy is then applied to the financial development of the U.S. sugar-Refining Industry between 1875 and 1905. The taxonomy provides an explanation of the rise of the large, widely held industrial corporation in the United States that is more consistent with the historical record than are the conventional “financial strain” or “asset liquidation” hypotheses.

assessment of efficiency improvement and emission mitigation potentials in china s petroleum Refining Industry
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2021Co-Authors: Fu Zhao, Ying Fan, Shaohui ZhangAbstract:Abstract The petroleum Refining Industry is an important energy conversion sector, providing both products and raw materials to a wide range of end-use sectors, including the transportation and chemical industries. This study uses a typical refinery process flow to develop a complex Refining system by characterizing technical features and interrelationships of the Refining units. Using this system we were able to develop the MESSAGEix-petroleum Refining model to analyze energy consumption and emissions at the Refining process level. The results indicate that China’s petroleum Refining Industry could reduce total energy use, circulation water consumption, and softened water consumption by 12%, 7%, and 80%, respectively. Additionally, the petroleum Refining Industry could reduce CO2, NOx, SO2, and PM2.5 emissions by 10%, 4%, 2%, and 1%, respectively, by 2050. However, emission sources have a significant influence on the emission reduction effect, and the reduction potential obtained through energy efficiency strategies is limited, especially for air pollutants. Therefore, policymakers should consider combining energy-efficiency measures and specific air pollution control options to better reach multiple targets. Finally, further directions for enhancing the representation of relevant subsectors in MESSAGEix are given.

Petroleum Refining Industry in China
Energy Policy, 2010Co-Authors: W. D. WallsAbstract:The oil Refining Industry in China has faced rapid growth in oil imports of increasingly sour grades of crude with which to satisfy growing domestic demand for a slate of lighter and cleaner finished products sold at subsidized prices. At the same time, the world petroleum Refining Industry has been moving from one that serves primarily local and regional markets to one that serves global markets for finished products, as world Refining capacity utilization has increased. Globally, refined product markets are likely to experience continued globalization until Refining investments significantly expand capacity in key demand regions. We survey the oil Refining Industry in China in the context of the world market for heterogeneous crude oils and growing world trade in refined petroleum products.

Quantifying carbon capture potential and cost of carbon capture technology application in the U.S. Refining Industry
International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, 2018Co-Authors: Yuan Yao, John Marano, William R. Morrow, Eric MasanetAbstract:Abstract Carbon capture (CC) technology is receiving increasing attention as a critical technology for climate change mitigation. Most previous studies focus on the application of CC technology in the power generation sector, while fewer studies have analyzed applications in the Refining Industry, which is one of the largest greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions sources in the U.S. industrial sector. Unlike the power generation sector, the Refining Industry has highly distributed CO2 emission sources. In this paper, bottom-up modeling and techno-economic analysis approaches are integrated to quantify the national CO2 emission reduction potential and costs of three types of CC technologies applied to U.S. refineries: (1) pre-combustion, (2) post-combustion, and (3) oxyfuel-combustion. Two scenarios are developed to compare different design strategies for CC systems; one is a distributed design scenario for post-combustion technology, the other is a centralized design scenario for pre-combustion and oxyfuel-combustion technology. The results of the two scenarios are compared, and the trade-offs between different design strategies are highlighted. The results shown in this study provide an intuitive and quantitative understanding of the potential of CC technology to reduce CO2 emissions from the U.S. Refining Industry. Such information is helpful to policymakers, oil companies, and energy/environmental analysts for strategic planning and systems design to manage future CO2 emissions of refineries.
