Novokuibyshevsk Refinery transferred the gas fractionation complex to a digital control system
18.07.2019
The Novokuibyshevsk Refinery, which is part of the oil refining complex of NK Rosneft, has put into operation a single gas fractionation and stabilization complex with a digital control point.
The complex combined three technological units: gasoline stabilization, gas fractionation, as well as gas compression and purification, which were previously managed separately.
integrate the work of processes into a single modern complex. This will improve the quality of manufactured products by optimizing the parameters of the technological mode and the plant control process, as well as the efficiency of planning. An automatic process control system, thanks to high-speed controllers, will reduce decision-making time to tenths of a second. Thus, the system will increase the level of industrial safety of the facility by eliminating the human factor.
An important element of the Rosneft 2022 Strategy is is digitalization and technological development in all areas of the Company's activities, primarily due to the accelerated replication of proven digital solutions. Implemented systems "digital field", "digital plant", "digital supply chain", "digital gas station" will allow you to move to a qualitatively new level of modern information business, increase the reliability and efficiency of production, reduce losses.
Unified Gas Fractionation Complex — the second object, the "digital factory" system; within the framework of the Rosneft-2022 Strategy. In 2018, the operation of four hydrotreating and catalytic cracking units at the Novokuibyshev Refinery was transferred to the digital control platform.
