Abstract

In this paper, the process integration of a conventional oil refinery hydrotreatment unit and renewable hydrogen production is proposed. This might lead to reductions in the need for energy and greenhouse gas emissions. First a conventional hydrotreating process is modeled and simulated with the flowsheeting package Unisim Design R450 (Honeywell). Secondly an exergy analysis for identification and quantification of thermodynamic inefficiencies is accomplished with Aspen Plus V10. To complement the exergy analysis, the evaluation of environmental impact is with a life cycle assessment (LCA) tool (Eco-indicator 99) is done.
