A. Introduccin

Distillation of crude oil


Because they have different boiling points, the substances in crude oil can be separated using
fractional distillation. The crude oil is evaporated and its vapors allowed to condense at different
temperatures in the fractionating column. Each fraction contains hydrocarbon molecules with a
similar number of carbon atoms.
Oil fractions
The diagram below summarizes the main fractions from crude oil and their uses, and the trends in
properties. Note that the gases condense at the top of the column, the liquids in the middle and the
solids stay at the bottom.

The fractionating column


The main fractions include refinery gases, gasoline (petrol), nafta, kerosene, diesel oil, fuel oil, and a
residue that contains bitumen. These fractions are mainly used as fuels, although they do have other
uses too.
Hydrocarbons with small molecules make better fuels than hydrocarbons with large molecules
because they are volatile, flow easily and are easily ignited.

Question E-4 1 PT : What kind of tray can you see in the tower ?

Question E-5 1 PT : Regarding the properties of water and ethanol, if a mix of water and ethanol is
boiling in the column which component is going to vaporize first ? justify your answer

It is to be evaporated first is ethanol, because the boiling temperature of the water is


approximately 100 C and the ethanol is 78.37 C, whereby the ethanol is vaporized first

Question F-1 = 2 PT : What are the names of the crude oils processed by the Pampilla refinery
what are the main characteristics of these crude oils (API, %S, origin,) ?

Crudo Oriente/ 23 API, UDP


Crudo Reducido
Gasoleo Pesado
Nafta Primaria

Question F-2 = 2PTS : What is the initial and final capacity of treatment of the refinery Pampilla
before and after the project RLP21 ?

The distillation capacity of La Pampilla Refinery is above 100 thousand barrels per day in 2015,
currently with the RLP 21 project is 117 thousand barrels per day, increasing production by 15%.

Question F-3 = 1.5PT : What are the main objectives of the project of modernisation of Pampilla ?
Reference:www.repsol.com.pe

In the treatment the recovery of amines II and sulfur is sought:


The Amines Section will employ an amines called MDEA diluted to 40% by weight to
recover the H2S produced in the Hydrotreating Unit.
The Sulfur Recovery Section seeks to convert the H2S from the new amine regeneration
unit to the treated gases and the existing sulfur units.
Light Gasoline Isomerization Unit:
Heavy Gasoline Reforming Unit that will operate in parallel with the existing Reforming unit
in the Refinery, in which it will allow the refurbished naphtha to be completed for the
blending of gasoline.
Hydrogen Plant: construction and operation of a hydrogen plant inside the refinery. The
capacity of the plant will be 1150 kg / h with the alternative that can operate with natural
gas or hydro treated naphtha and combustible gas.

Leading to a production of low sulfur diesel fuel with less than 50 ppm
Follow what is stated in Law No. 28694 of Supreme Decree No. 061 of 2009
applied by the Ministry of Energy and Mine.
Replace with new units and improve the capacity and competitiveness of the
refinery.
Question F-4 = 2.5 PT : What will be the type combustible for the new furnace of the unit of
Hydrotreatment of Mediums distillates ? the consumption of combustible ? and the operating
conditions of pressure and temperature for this combustible ?

The type of fuel will be hydrogen that is occupied by an independent company. The capacity of the
plant will be 1150 kg / h with option to operate with natural gas or with hydrotreated naphtha and
combustible gas.
