Design And Fabrication of a Model Demonstrative Modular Refinery
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Petroleum Engineering
Abstract
The Modular refinery is a mini refinery used worldwide to assist conventional refinery to increase rate of production. All refineries, in spite of the size, perform three basic steps which are Separation (fractional distillation), Conversion (cracking and rearranging the molecules), and Treatment. The design and fabrication of a model demonstrative modular refinery was done with sophisticated, using steel metal tanks, pipes, concretes, heater, thermometer gauge and a cooler unit. Nigeria?s petroleum refinery industry is also grossly inadequate to meet the petroleum energy demands of the economy. The fabricated modular refinery will help to refine crude oil in on low scale crude in the country to meet this domestic petroleum energy demand.
