APPENDIX A
CRUDE SLATES
The general objective in selecting crude slates for each cluster model
was to simulate as closely as possible the average future mixture of crudes
which would be run in each refining area represented by the cluster models.
Specifically, the crude slates were chosen to simulate as closely as
possible the average domestic/foreign mix, sulfur content, API gravity,
and other key properties of future crude slates for these refining areas.
A. METHODOLOGY
The basis for forecasting future crude mixes in each cluster model was
the Bureau of Mines data on actual crude inputs in 1973 for the six refinery
clusters. ^See Table A-l.) For future years, the actual mixes in each cluster
model were modified in accordance with changes in availability of certain
crudes and the addition of major new crude sources (e.g., Alaskan North
Slope). The only limitation on the future crude slates was to restrict the
number of different crudes used to a manageable level.
The Bureau of Mines data for 1973 shown in Table A-l indicates the origin
of domestic crude inputs by state and foreign crude receipts by country of
origin. For the purposes of forecasting model crude slates, certain repre-
sentative crudes have been chosen to represent crude inputs of a similar
quality. Specifically,
• Louisiana crude was used for Louisiana and low-sulfur Texas
crudes;
• Oklahoma crude was used for light, sweet crudes produced in the
Midcontinenf;
• West Texas was used for high sulfur crudes from both Texas and
New Mexico;
A-l
-------
• Wilmington and Ventura crudes were used for heavy and light
Californian crudes, respectively;
• Nigerian Forcados was used for heavy African crudes;
• Algerian Hassi Messaoud was used for light African crudes;
• Arabian Light was considered representative of average Middle
F.nst crudes;
• Minas crude represented southeast Asian crude imports; and
• Tia Juana Medium was assumed to typify Venezuelan export crudes.
Table A-2 indicates the actual crude slates assumed for 1973 for each cluster
model based on the representative crude methodology just discussed. Table A-
also includes a comparison of the average sulfur content of the assumed model
crude slates given in the table with industry average sulfur content
obtained by the EPA from individual company data.. As shown, the sulfur con-
tents of the model crude slates check quite closely with actual reported
data.
B. MODEL CRUDE SLATES
In projecting crude slates for the cluster models (see Tables A-3 -
A-8), specific assumptions have been made regarding crude requirements and
availability for each cluster model. These assumptions have been made to
simulate the average crude inputs which will prevail in the refining areas
represented by the cluster models. The specific crude supply conditions and
assumptions for each refining area are as follows:
Small Midcontinent; The cluster model simulating the typical small
Midcontinent refiner shows that on average the small Midcontinent
refiner currently runs a large proportion of various Texas, Louisiana,
and Oklahoma crudes (82%) and small amounts of Canadian (18%). In
general, it has been forecast that in the future there will be decreasmg
amounts of domestic crudes (particularly lower sulfur Louisiana crudes)
availahlp to the small Midcontinent refiner and, as a result, he will'
find himself turning increasingly towards foreign crude sources. (See
Table A-3.) It has been assumed that Canadian crude will be rapidly
withdrawn from these refiners and that the future foreign crude require-
ments will be a 50/50 mixture of relatively high sulfur Middle Eastern
rrudos and low sulfur African crudes. There is already evidence of this

trend towards increasing use of foreign crudes in the two new
crude pipelines under construction from the Texas Gulf Coast to
Gushing, Oklahoma. Both Texoma and Seaway pipelines were designed
to transport foreign crudes to refineries in the Midcontinent.
Large Midwest: Like the small Midcontinent refiners, the large Midwest
refiners have typically run a high percentage of domestic crudes (81%)
with smaller volumes of Canadian and Middle Eastern crudes. In the
future, it is expected that domestic crudes (again, particularly the
sweeter Louisiana crudes) will decline in importance and be replaced by
foreign crudes (See Table A-4.) Domestic oil policy in Canada will cause
Canadian exports to large Midwest refiners to decline -apidly, so that by 1980
no Canadian crudes are likely to be run in Midwest refineries. The
demise of Canadian exports to the area will force refiners to rely
increasingly on Middle Eastern crudes. Since large Midwest refineries
were built to handle high sulfur domestic crudes, it is forecast that
higher-sulfur Middle Eastern sources (typified by Saudi Arabian Light)
will become increasingly important to the area's refineries. As in the
case of the small Midcontinent refineries, the trend towards increased
reliance on foreign crude supplies is evidenced by the expansion of
the region's only direct, non-Canadian, foreign crude line—Capline—
from the Louisiana Gulf.
Texas Gulf: Refiners in the Texas Gulf have run almost 90% domestic
crude (48% Louisiana and 42% West Texas Sour). The remaining
10-11% of crude supplies have come from a combination of Middle Eastern,
African, and Venezuelan sources. In the future, it is forecast that
the crude supply pattern in this region will not change significantly,
as decreasing supplies of domestic crudes are reserved for use by
refiners in the Gulf area. (See Table A-5.)
.«L«1 Coast: Historically, typical refineries in this area have run a
very high proportion of foreign crude (77% in the cluster model in 1973).
As domestic crude suoplies decline in the future, it ls forecast that Fast
Coast refiners will rely entirely upon foreign crude sources. (See Table A-6 .)
Because of the severe sulfur restrictions on the East Coast, it is
projected that there will be significant imports of Algerian and Nigeria
tvpe crudes (representing some 38% of total crude oil to the East Coast

cluster model in 1977-1985), with the remainder supplied by
Eastern and Venezuelan crudes.
West Coast: The refineries comprising this cluster model currently
run an almost 50/50 mixture of domestic California crudes and foreign
crudes. The predominent domestic crude is presently typified by
fornia Wilmington (a heavy crude). While the West Coast refineries
modeled currently consume Middle Eastern, Indonesian, and Canadian
crudes, the Middle Eastern crudes account for nearly twice as much as
the Canadian and Indonesian inputs combined. In the future it is forecast
that volumes of local California crudes will remain at present levels,
but foreign crudes will be entirely backed out by Alaskan North Slope
volumes beginning in 1980. (See Table A-7 .)
Louisiana Gulf: As simulated in the cluster model, refineries along
the Louisiana Gulf presently operate exclusively on domestic crudes. Of
these domestic crudes, about 88% are sweet and the remainder sour. Due
to the fact that these Louisiana refineries are ideally located to
process offshore and southern Louisiana crude production, it is forecast
that there will be no change in the crude slate for the typical refiner
on the Louisiana Gulf. (See Table A-8.)
Grassroots Refineries: The crude slates for the grassroots refineries
were based on balancing the total crude supply to the U.S.A. on an East
of the Rockies and West of the Rockies basis.
East of the Rockies; Grassroots refineries on the East Coast are
projected to run a mixture of three types of foreign crudes. Two-
thirds of the crude input will be composed of Middle Eastern crudes
typified by Saudi Arabian Light; the remaining one-third will
be made up of a 50/50 mixture of crudes like Algerian Hassi Messaoud
and Nigerian Forcados.
West of the Rockies^ Because of the huge volumes of Alaskan North
Slope crude expected to be available on the West Coast, It was
assumed that f/rassroots refineries in that part of the country
would run exclusively Alaskan North Slope crudes.

refineries, we have scaled up the volume of inputs consistent with the
amount of refining capacity represented by each cluster or type of grass-
roots refinery. Table A-9 shows the results of the scale up exercise using
the crude oil required in Scenario A. For the cluster models the scaled
up crude slates in 1980 and 1985 are constant between scenarios. Crude
inputs to the grassroots models were allowed to vary between scenarios to
balance required gasoline production. Table A-10 shows the scaled up crude
inputs to the grassroots models for 1980 and 1985.
In general, there is expected to be an increasing reliance on foreign
crudes in 1980 and 1985 as a result of declines in crude production in the
"Lower 48." Even with 1.6 million B/CD of Alaskan North Slope crude
consumed in 1985, the decline in production from existing reserves is not
offset. Among the foreign imports, the Middle Eastern crudes typified by
Saudi Arabian Light are expected to provide by far the largest share, with
Nigerian, Algerian, and Venezuelan type crudes accounting for about half
of the volume of Middle Eastern crudes.
The scale up crude slate detailed in Table A-9 indicates that the pro-
portions of sweet and sour crude within the total crude slate will not
change substantially over the next decade (see also Table A-ll). Over the
;
next five years there will be a rise in the volume of sour crudes processed
in U.S. refineries as a result of insufficient worldwide production of low
sulfur crudes to offset declining U.S. production of sweet crudes. However,
this increase in average sulfur content is not expected to cause processing
constraints, since domestic and Caribbean downstream processing capacity is
forecast to be sufficient to allow refiners to meet sulfur constraints even
with a higher average sulfur content in their crude inputs.
In the longer-term, the sweet/sour balance will be preserved despite
declines in production from existing domestic sources as a result of an
increased availability of sweet crudes on the world market. It is pro-
jected that not only will significant volumes of new low-sulfur crude pro-
duction become available (e.g., the North Sea production and increased
Chinese exports), but output from current low-sulfur sources, such as
Indonesia will increase. While it is possible that some of the crude
from new low-sulfur production sources will be shipped to the U.S., it is

A. DEMAND ASSUMPTIONS FOR MODEL RUNS
In the current study the demand forecast for the United States was
obtained by two different approaches. To ease the process of relating
the demand forecast with the scale up of the cluster model approach
(Appendix G), one simplistic forecasting approach was utilized which led
to a demand growth rate of 2% per annum for all petroleum products.
However, to ensure that the study results were not unduly influenced
by this simplistic approach, parametric runs were undertaken to include
the effect of a more sophisticated forecasting technique. Each of these
forecasting techniques is described in detail below.
The primary reason for forecasting demand was to highlight the dif-
ferences in requirements for grassroots capacity among the six scenarios.
Therefore, the actual demand forecast was thought to be of relatively
little importance in comparison to the relative differences inherent in
the scenarios. Because of the minor importance attached to the absolute
projected demand levels, a very simplistic forecasting approach was
initially utilized. As will be discussed below, the initial simplistic
approach resulted in an overall demand forecast which was well within the
range later derived by more elaborate forecasting techniques.
This appendix discusses petroleum product demand only for the U.S. as
a whole. To arrive at scaled up product outturns which must be met by the
simulated refining industry, imports of petroleum products (assumed to
be constant at 1973 actual levels throughout the period of analysis) and
outturns from atypical refineries must be subtracted from overall U.S.
demand«
B-l
-------
From the base year, 1973, product demand was forecast to realize zero
growth over 1974 and 1975 and average 2% per annum thereafter. In late
1975, it is evident that demand over 1974-1975 will, indeed, show zero
or, in some areas, negative growth relative to 1973 demand. Beyond
1975, public projections of oil demand growth range between 1% and 3.5%,
depending upon key assumptions regarding oil prices, consumer price
sensitivity, conservation incentives, the availability of alternative
energy forms, and U.S. government policy. The estimate of 2% average
annual growth was selected as a consensus figure, reflecting the generally
slower than historical growth trend which has resulted from higher oil
prices, but assuming some optimism regarding the future ecmorale growth
of the country.
The methodology initially utilized involved three simplifying assump-
tions: (1) demand for all products was assumed to grow at one uniform
rate (2% per annum from 1975 to 1985) ; (2) demand growth would occur
in equal increments throughout the forecast period; and (3) imports of
products would remain constant in volume and type throughout the forecast
period.
Table B-l shows the demand levels for major products which result
from an application of the simplified forecasting methodology. It should
be noted that these projections were based not on actual 1973 demand, but
on a "simulated" demand slate derived by adding the 1973 imports and out-
turn from atypical refineries to the scaled up yield of each of the cluster
models. Since the scale up of 1973 for all products was based on the
factors required to have gasoline yields for individual refining areas
equivalent to 1973 Bureau of Mines statistics on gasoline outturn in each
area, products other than gasoline were not necessarily scaled up to
actual consumption figures. The reason for using a "simulated" demand
slate as a projection base rather than an actual historical one was that
the use of actual data would have resulted in a demand forecast in future
years which, by comparison with our projected scaled up cluster outturns,
would have accentuated the initial 1973 differences in scaled up cluster
outturn and actual demand statistics. Because the differences in projected

demand and scaled up cluster outturn are used to set the quality and yield
structure of grassroots refineries, it is important that small differ-
ences between actual statistics and our scale ups in 1973 not be magnified
over the forecast period.
Table B-2 shows a comparison of the forecast of "simulated" demand
for major products and the range of demand projections resulting from our
more detailed forecast. As indicated, the projection of total "simulated"
demand falls within the range of demand forecast by the more elaborate
methods which will be described below. However, although there is overall
agreement on total demand, there are discrepancies within individual
products as a result of: (1) differences in base year starting points
(see Table B-l) ; (?) the assumption of constant average annual growth;
and (3) the lack of differential product growth. The differences in
base year statistics result from the methods used in scaling up cluster
output to regional refinery yields. As described above, one scale up
factor (based on the premise of equating gasoline outturns to actual
gasoline yields) for all products inevitably resulted in the deviation of
some "simulated" product demands from actual reported consumption. The
assumption of common growth rate for all products not only reinforced
the initial inconsistencies resulting from the scale up procedure but
permitted no oscillation in product growth rates. In general, the
detailed forecast described below shows product growth (particularly,
fuel oils) resuming a moderate growth through the late 1970's and then
dropping off in the 1980's as more efficient conservation practices
become feasible, more non-oil energy is available and the national
economy grows more slowly and with less energy input.
Comparing the total simulated product demand with the demand fore-
cast described below also shows that the results of the simplified
approach fall within the range projected in the detailed forecast.
Table B-3 compares the total product demands forecast in the simplified
and detailed forecasts. Several important assumptions should be noted.
Firstly, the LPG demand forecast in the "simulated" demand reflects only
the demand for refinery-produced LPG, not LPG extracted at natural gas

liquids plants. In recent years approximately 65-70% of all LPG
originated from natural gas liquids processing, with the remainder
supplied from refineries and imports. In the future, the volume of
natural gas liquids and the LPG yield from these liquids are expected
to decline, so we have assumed in our 1985 projection that only 60%
of the LPG will be produced at natural gas processing plants. A
second factor to keep in mind in comparing \ forecasts is that the
simplified forecast does not include projections of refinery fuel and
losses. Thus, the simplified forecast should not be read as a forecast
of total U.S. oil requirements.
B. DETAILED U.S. PRODUCT DEMAND FORECAST
Prior to 1973 forecasting oil demand in the U.S. was a fairly
straightforward exercise involving the application of historically-
determined growth rates to base year consumption data. However, the
pattern of continuous growth was interrupted by massive increases in
foreign oil prices (and later domestic decontrolled prices), the Arab
oil embargo and a period of economic recession. Oil consumption was
largely unaffected in 1973, but beginning in 1974, oil demand actually
dropped an estimated 3.8%.
Looking to the future there is a great deal of uncertainty surround-
ing the level and growth of oil demand. Contrary to historical trends,
oil demand is not expected to resume a rapid and steady upward climb.
However, the extent to which U.S. demand will turn upward and the timing
of the upswing are still very uncertain. In order to bound this uncer-
tainty, Arthur D. Little, Inc., has developed a range of estimates of
total energy and oil demand which we feel effectively defines the limits
within which future energy demand will probably fall. The methodology
underlying the forecast, as well as the forecast itself, is discussed
below.
1. Methodology
To forecast future oil consumption it is necessary to evaluate the
supplies and demand for all primary energy forms (coal, natural gas,
B-7
-------
hydroelectric, nuclear and oil). Two basic sets of assumptions were used
in order to develop a definitive range of energy supply/demand balances:
High Case: Economic growth is assumed to be somewhat slower than historic
rates, but high enough to permit a rising standard of living. Higher
energy prices alone—and not government action—are assumed to result in
consumer energy conservation. Likewise, higher energy prices are the
impetus for the development of domestic energy resources.*
Low Case; Economic and total energy growth fall further off historic
rates as a result of both strong government action and higher energy
prices. Government action in the form of conservation incentives,
selective taxes on oil, import tariffs, etc., is taken to enhance the
effects of higher prices in dampening demand and stimulating the develop-
ment of domestic resources.
The methodology used for deriving oil demand in both cases involved
projecting the availability of non-oil energy forms and contrasting
these supply estimates with projections of demand consistent with the
high and low scenarios. In all cases, oil was assumed to be the balancing
fuel in matching the supply and demand estimates. Our forecast of non-
oil energy supplies, expressed in quadrillions of Btu's.is given in
Table B-4.
Table B-4 shows our projection that total U.S. energy demand will
grow at an average of 2.9-3.3% per annum over the period 1972-1980 and
between 2.7-4.0% per annum during the first half of the following decade.
Oil demand is forecast to grow at between 2.4-3.4% between 1972-1980,
and at about 1% in the 1980-85 period.
There are several important features of the primary energy forecast
given in Table B-4. Coal production and consumption which have actually
declined in recent years are expected to be rejuvenated as a result of
higher energy prices, emphasis on exploiting domestic energy resources
This case currently appears to be too optimistic regarding future
economic growth and the sensitivity of consumers to rises in energy

and production of secondary energy forms from coal. It is expected that
it will take the coal industry several years to gear up for higher pro-
duction levels, but beyond 1980, production capacity will no longer be
such a severe limitation on coal consumption. Natural gas is expected
to be supply-constrained throughout the forecast period, as production
from "Lower 48" resources continues to decline (despite increased off-
shore activity) and is not offset by volumes from Alaskan sources
until very late in the forecast period. Nuclear power is expected to be
the most rapidly growing primary energy form, showing a 25-30 fold
increase over the forecast period. Non-conventional energy forms,
such as solar, wind and solid waste, are not expected to play a signi-
ficant role during the time frame of this forecast, due to the time
required to commercialize and disseminate the technologies involved.
As described above, oil was assumed to be the balancing fuel
between the forecast demand for total energy and the projected availa-
bility of non-oil energy forms. As such, oil was regarded as being
a premium quality fuel, to be increasingly devoted to uses where its
liquid, clean-burning properties would command a premium price. Coal,
and later nuclear power, were assumed to take over the non-premium oil
uses, such as fuel for industrial and utility boilers.
The demand for energy was developed by breaking down total energy
consumption into demand by various end-use sectors (e.g., transportation,
industry, residential/commercial, etc.). At the end-use sector level the
historical growth trends in energy consumption were identified and then
modified in line with the basic assumptions of the high and low cases.
The modification of historic growth rates took into account our expecta-
tions of the impact of consumer conservation, government policy, energy
prices, and macro-economic conditions.
The breakdown of oil demand by product, shown in Table B-5, was
accomplished by examining the oil consumption patterns of specific
end-use sectors. For example, in the transportation sector, the oil
demand is a mixture of gasoline, jet fuel, LPG, residual fuel oil, and
distillate (diesel). To project future oil consumption patterns in the

transportation sector, separate forecasts were developed for automotive,
rail, marine and air transport and the fuels were projected accordingly,"
r.iking into account any efficiency improvements.
2. Product Forecast
Table B-5 presents our forecast of the range of U.S. demand for
petroleum products. This forecast was developed by splitting the total
oil demand by end-use sector down into appropriate products and correcting
for any changes in consumption patterns.
There are several significant factors to notice about the forecast in
Table B-5. Gasoline, which grew at an average annual rate of 5.3%
between 1965 and 1972, will grow much more slowly, even in the high demand
case. Under the assumptions of the high demand case, gasoline will
continue to grow at a modest rate through 1980 (averaging 4.4% per annum),
and thereafter growth will be slower (2.0% per annum, 1980-1985) as
smaller-engined, more efficient cars penetrate the car population. In the
low demand case, we expect gasoline demand to be dampened earlier, with
higher gasoline prices, more efficient cars, and, perhaps, government
policy combining to keep growth to an average of 2.8% per annum in the
1975-1980 period. In the low demand case, gasoline .will actually show no
growth over 1980-1985, as the rate of introduction of more efficient
cars into the car population offsets the increases in size of the total
car population and any increases in average annual mileage travelled.
Jet fuel and kerosene combined are expected to have an average
annual growth rate of between 3.5 and 4.8% between 1975 and 1980, and
range between 2.9 and 4.0% during the last five years of the forecast
period. These forecast growth rates are considerably below the historic
growth rates for jet fuel (which averaged just over 6.0% per annum
between 1965 and 1972), although kerosene for other uses has historically
shown a declining growth trend.
Demand for both distillate and residual fuel oils is expected to grow
rapidly until 1980, largely as a result of decreased availability of
B-12
-------
natural gas and the inability of coal to immediately offset curtailed
volumes of natural gas. Beyond 1980, as increased availability of coal
and nuclear, and possibly volumes of Alaskan gas, decrease the burden
on fuel oils, growth in demand for fuel oil will drop off dramatically.
Thus, in the high demand case, demand for distillate fuel oil is projected
to grow rapidly at an average of 7.5% per annum between 1975 and 1980,
and then decrease dramatically to an average annual rate of 2.0% during
the early 1980's. Low case assumptions result in a distillate demand
growth of about 3.0% in the 1975-1980 period, declining to 1.8% between
1980 and 1985. Residual fuel oil demand in the high demand case will
Increase very rapidly through the remainder of the 1970's (averaging
just under 10% per annum), and then fall off absolutely in the early 1980's.
Similarly, in the low demand case, residual fuel oil consumption is
projected to grow at an average annual rate of about 5% between 1975 and
1980, and decrease absolutely at a rapid pace in the 1980-1985 period.
Demand for naphtha and other petrochemical feed stocks is expected to
be another area of rapid growth. In the first five years of the forecast,
growth in feed stock demand is expected on average to be moderate
(averaging between 3.5 and 4.1% per annum) as a result of the recessionary
macro-economic conditions in the early years, but rapid growth (between
5.6 and 6.2% per annum) is expected to resume in the early 1980's.
The demand for LPG shown in Table B-5 represents total demand
regardless of product source. LPG is presently derived approximately
70% from natural gas processing plants, 22% from refineries, and 8%
from imports. In the future, with domestic natural gas production
projected to decline (as well as become leaner in natural gas liquids),
and Canadian import levels uncertain, there may be pressure on refineries
to increase production of LPG, and we anticipate a high level of interest
in major LPG import projects.
In summary, total product demand is expected to resume moderate growth
through the remainder of the 1970's and then slow to an average of 1% or
less in the early 1980's, as conservation (price-induced and/or mandated)
and slower rates of national economic growth combine to depress demand
below historic levels.

Specifications for motor gasolines are presented in Table C-l.
Volatility specifications, i.e., Reid vapor pressure and distillation
temperatures, were primarily based upon reviewing Bureau of Mines data
for summer and winter gasolines. Also, a comprehensive analysis of
gasoline volatility is presented in the API study on unleaded gasoline.
In practice, the only distillation specification that exhibited a
significant influence on blending flexibility was the maximum percent
evaporated at 150°F. Several models, particularly the Texas Gulf, which
processed a relatively high percentage of natural gasoline, were impacted
by this volatility requirement.
Gasoline distillation end-point specifications are controlled
implicitly. For straight-run naphtha the maximum end-point of feed to
catalytic reforming is 400°F. For catalytic cracking, the yields and
product properties are based on a gasoline/distillate cut point of 400°F
in the catalytic cracking fractionation system.
Leaded octane specifications for each cluster model were set
identical to the values supplied by the EPA representing actual 1973 oper-
ations for the aggregate of the specific refineries comprising each cluster
model. The leaded octane requirements for grassroots refining was de-
termined by an average of the cluster models.
The minimum octane requirements for unleaded gasoline were specified
at 92/84 research/motor, respectively. Although statutory regulations re-
quire only a minimum 91/83 product, indications are that marginally higher
octanes are required to provide some allowance for blending tolerances.
Specific parametric studies were addressed to manufacturing unleaded grades
at higher octane specifications.

Other product specifications are presented in Table C-2. The basic
philosophy was to adopt only those key specifications necessary to measure
the impacts being evaluated in this study. For example, there are
approximately 20 different specifications on commercial jet fuel, each of
which is critical to satisfactory performance. Yet only several key ones
are required for use in an aggregate model of this type. It is only
meaningful to consider product specifications for which specific processing
adjustments are required which affect unit costs. Those specifications
that are met by segregated blending, while they require careful planning in
the individual refineries, are not relevant to this level of simulation.
For example, the smoke-point specification for jet fuel must be met
on all products supplied. However, in the East of Rockies system, there
are ample supplies of good quality blend stocks such that no special
processing or additives are needed. On the other hand, in the West Coast
one of the reasons for the widespread installation of hydrocracking is due
to the relatively high product demands for jet fuel and the relatively poor
smoke-point of product produced from indigenous crudes. Thus, we do
specify that the smoke-point requirement be met by the model for the West
Coast. Although no sulfur specification was used in the model for jet
fuel, the model is structured such that only desulfurized components can
be routed to jet fuel blending with the exception of the Louisiana cluster
model which processes low sulfur crudes.
The initial end-point distillation requirements for jet fuel (as well
as for other products) are met by the model structural control of
fractionating cut points, which allow only "specification" components to be
made available for blending.
Distillate fuel oil sulfur specifications vary from cluster model to
cluster model. They were adjusted during the calibration phase to achieve
a reasonable utilization of existing desulfurization facilities and the
specifications thus determined were then used for the simulation at future
years. Diesel fuels are included in the general distillate fuel category.
Although they require various cetane number specifications in the market-
place, they are met by blending and thus need not be considered in this
analysis.

APPENDIX D
BASE LEVEL OF CLUSTER REFINERY FUEL SULFUR CONTENT
U.S. refinery fuel sulfur oxide (SO ) emission levels are currently
X
controlled primarily by state regulations on fuel sulfur content or on
ground level concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO,,). Since the control
of refinery fuel SO emissions will place an important constraint on the
X
modeling of the refinery operations, the allowable refinery fuel sulfur
content under current or immediately anticipated regulations had to be de-
termined for each cluster model. This is complicated by the regional
modeling approach since emission regulations are typically established on a
state-by-state basis. This appendix describes the methodology used in
calculating emission regulations for each cluster model, beginning with the
determination of state regulations and then translating these into equiva-
lent cluster regulations.
Specific regulations on sulfur content of fuels were promulgated not as
a means of controling fuel sulfur content itself but as one of the control
techniques for the ambient air quality standards on SO . Thus, not all states
X
have established explicit standards on fuel sulfur content. While the Federal
government has promulgated the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)
for SO , these regulations represent minimum standards to be achieved. As a
X
result, air quality regulations and, indirectly, fuel sulfur regulations,
vary from state to state and often within a state. Since actual implementa-
tion of NAAQS is the responsibility of state governments, the means by which
regulations are expressed also varies between and within states. For ex-
ample, some states regulate SO emissions by determining the maximum allow-
X
able fuel sulfur content for achievement of the particular SO standards,
X
while other states express standards only in terms of ambient air or ground
level S0_ concentrations. In the latter case, allowable SO,, concentrations
D-l
-------
at the stack have to be determined by dispersion models reflecting local
meteorological conditions. For consistent use in the ADL refinery model,
this stack concentration was then translated into an equivalent refinery
fuel sulfur content, and, in some cases, it was necessary to contact re-
finers or EPA regional offices where these calculations were available.
A final complicating factor is that these regulations also vary accord-
ing to the size of the combustion units. This made it necessary to identify
the location of refineries within each state and to make simplifying assump-
tions about the size of refinery combustion units.
A. METHODOLOGY OF CALCULATIONS
1. Fuel Oil Sulfur Content by State
The National Summary of State Implementation Plan Reviews (Volume II),
published in July, 1975, by the EPA, was used as the primary source of state
regulations on fuel sulfur levels. For those states with fuel sulfur
regulations varying by Air Quality Control Region (AQCR), each refinery
in that state was identified as to its location in an AQCR. The state
regulation was then calculated as the average sulfur regulation of the
AQCR's containing refineries, weighted by 1973 crude refining capacity of
each AQCR.
Reasonable assumptions were required for those states that did not
have explicit fuel oil sulfur regulations. In Texas, the ground level S0?
concentration regulation may require a maximum liquid fuel sulfur content
of 0.7-0.9% wt. for compliance, according to one refiner's modeling of
operations. Similarly, in California, the ground level S0? concentration
translates into fuel sulfur limits of 0.5% wt. Although Louisiana has
promulgated a maximum fuel sulfur level of 3.6% wt., ground level concen-
tration standards are, in fact, controling and refiners In some AQCR's
limit fuel burned to 0.7-0.9% wt. S. Current regulations in Ohio and
Illinois are uncertain at present and, after consultation with local AQCR
authorities, were assumed to be 1.0% wt. S.
2. Combustion Unit Size
State regulations for existing and new sources are reported in the
above publication by size of combustion unit (heat inputs of 10, 100, 250,
or 1000 million Btu/hour), by type of fuel burned, and by air quality
D-2
-------
control region. Regulations applicable to refineries were taken as those
pertaining to residual fuel-fired units with heat inputs of less than 1000
million Btu/hour. Where they differed among the 10, 100 and 250 million
Btu/hour units, an arithmetic average of the three was used. If the reg-
ulations were explicit only for a 1000 million Btu/hour unit, this was
assumed to apply.
B. RESULTS
Table D-l shows existing and new source fuel sulfur regulations by state
which were calculated using the above methodology.
Refinery fuel sulfur level standards by Petroleum Administration for
Defense (PAD) districts were then calculated as the weighted average of state
regulations comprising each PAD, with crude throughput of each state used
as weighting factors. Refinery crude throughput by state is available in the
Bureau of Mines 1973 Annual Petroleum Statement. However, for some PAD
districts, crude throughput for several states is reported together; where
this occurred a weighted average sulfur standard for those states was de-
termined using 1973 state refining capacities as weighting factors.
Table D-2 shows calculated PAD regulations for existing and new sources.
Also shown is the state within each PAD with the most and least stringent
sulfur regulation. Those states or portions of states for which sulfur
standards could not be determined (Western Pennsylvania, Missouri, Oklahoma
for existing sources, and Arkansas) were eliminated from the determination
of weighted average PAD regulations.
As discussed in Appendix F, specific clusters of refineries were
selected to represent typical refineries in each PAD district, to be scaled
up to represent the U.S. petroleum industry. For comparison to the average
Sulfur standards applying to 1000 million Btu/hr heat input units are
more applicable to large steam generating units such as electric utilities.
In addition, Federal New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) technically
apply only to fossil-fuel fired steam generators with heat inputs greater
than 250 million Btu/hr. The occasional use of these standards for de-
termining regulations pertaining to refineries was necessitated by lack
of suitable alternative information, but it is felt the resulting cluster
regulation is nevertheless representative.

PAD fuel sulfur regulations of Table D-2, the regulations applicable to
each of the individual refineries in the clusters are shown in Table D-3.
Because of the AQCR's in which these particular refineries are located, the
regulations for these refineries are generally more restrictive than the
average regulations for the PAD district as a whole.
C. CLUSTER MODEL REFINERY FUEL SPECIFICATION
From Tables D-l, D-2 and D-3, the existing fuel sulfur regulations
(to be applied to the sulfur level of the refinery fuel system) for the
cluster models must be selected. As noted above, however, there is a
conflict between the regulations pertaining to the specific refineries
simulated in the cluster models and the average of the PAD district. This
makes the selection of representative refinery fuel sulfur regulations
difficult.
On the one hand, if the stringent regulations typical of the specific
cluster refineries (Table D-3) are selected to represent the existing
maximum refinery fuel sulfur levels in the cluster models, then"the computer
simulation would indicate that little additional investment would be re-
quired to meet future regulations. Since the average PAD district fuel
sulfur regulation (Table D-2) is much higher than these most stringent
regulations, it is likely that the cost of future sulfur regulations de-
termined by such computer models would understate the actual costs incurred
by the industry.
On the other hand, if existing maximum sulfur levels of the refinery
fuel system were selected equal to the average PAD district regulations
(Table D-2), then the sulfur balances in the cluster models will not match
those of the actual refineries being simulated (Appendix F), for these
refineries are operated to match the regulations of Table D-3. For some
clusters, such as the Texas Gulf Coast, there was such a small fraction of
residual oil in the fuel system in 1973 that this inconsistency is unimpor-
tant. For the East Coast cluster, however, the inconsistency is significant
(compare Table D-2 and D-3).
Since it is felt that understatement of the cost of future regulations
is a far more serious error when the indus'try model is to provide Input to
environmental policy decisions, the current cluster model fuel regulations

were assumed to be those of the PAD district and not of the refineries
simulated by the cluster model. The allowable refinery fuel sulfur content
assumed in the cluster models is summarized in Table D-4. The East Coast
cluster entry is taken as the PAD I regulation of Table D-2. The Small
Midcontinent and Large Midwest entries were taken as the average PAD II
regulation for existing and new sources of Table D-2 (recall the uncertainty
for the Ohio and Illinois entries of Table D-l, making more precise assess-
ments unwarranted). The Texas and Louisiana entries were taken directly
from Table D-l, and agree well with Table D-2. The West Coast cluster entry
is near that of Table D-2, weighted downward by the California entry of
Table D-l.
Furthermore, since most existing refineries must meet these regulations
on a stack-by-stack basis (not averaged over total gaseous and liquid fuel
systems), these sulfur specifications were used to limit the sulfur level
of the liquid fuel system (e.g., residual fuel oil) in the existing cluster
refineries. For the grassroots refineries, which would likely have one
large stack, these sulfur specifications were applied to the average sulfur
levels of liquid and gaseous fuels.

APPENDIX E
CAPITAL INVESTMENT FOR PROCESS UNIT SEVERITY UPGRADING
AN?_ UTILIZATION OF CAPACITY ALREADY CONSTRUCTED
In order to meet the environmental regulations under study, it Is
often required to utilize existing process unit capacity or to upgrade the
process unit severity beyond that required without the proposed regulation.
Hence, in the evaluation of investment penalties associated with the regu-
lations, costs must be assessed for (1) the value of the existing facilities
which have been utilized and (2) the added expense of upgrading these
facilities to meet these regulations.
For example, for the lead regulations, existing catalytic reformer
capacity must be utilized to make increasing amounts of unleaded and
low lead gasolines. This capacity could be otherwise utilized to produce
increasing quantities of leaded gasoline were it not for the lead regula-
tions. Hence, a value must be placed on this excess reformer capacity, and
a cost assessed due to lead removal if the capacity utilization exceeds the
case without the lead regulations. This cost assessment for existing
facilities is well-known in economic theory, and the value of such facili-
ties is obtained from an evaluation of their "opportunity cost" or
"alternative value".
The production of unleaded gasoline will require that existing re-
formers be operated at 100 RON severity, even though the existing re-
formers may have been designed to operate only at 90 RON severity. Hence,
a capital outlay may be required to upgrade the severity capability of such
reformers to 100 RON.
The present appendix provides the methodology used in assessing the
capital investment penalties for existing capacity utilization and severity
upgrading, as well as the results of this calculation for the example
E-l
-------
clusters of existing refineries. Additional costs of promulgated lead
regulations and other possible regulations are incurred in new grassroots
refineries, which are summarized in Appendices H and J. Finally, the
investments required in these individual clusters are multiplied by scale
up factors (Appendix G) to reflect the industry-wide costs, the results of
which are tabulated in Appendix J.
From an examination of the unit throughput/severity results of
Appendix J, only four refinery units vary sufficiently to warrant invest-
ment evaluations for capacity utilization and severity upgrading. These
are catalytic reforming, hydrocracking, isomerization and alkylation.
Other units, such as fluid catalytic cracking, did not undergo sufficient
change in unit intake or severity between scenarios to justify such
calculations.
A. CATALYTIC REFORMING
Calibration runs for each of the clusters were performed, as discussed
in Appendix I, comparing the reformer throughput required by the cluster
model with that obtained from industry data. Also .summarized in Appendix
I was the comparison of these figures with the stream-day capacity reported
in the Oil and Gas Journal.
In Table E-l are summarized the results of this comparison for each
cluster. The model output provided the catalytic reformer intake of high
severity (>95 RON) and low severity (< 95 RON) operation required to meet
pool octane for each cluster (Appendix I). It also provided the BTX
reformer throughout required to meet the 1973 demand for BTX from each
cluster.
The existing reformer calendar day capacity in Table E-l was obtained
by multiplying the Oil and Gas Journal stream day capacity (Appendix I)
i
by 85%. This figure represents limitations such as:
• Scheduled or extraordinary refinery turnarounds and maintenance.
• Limitations on secondary processing capacity which can limit
meeting product specifications.
• Variations in crude slates since nominal capacity is based on a
design crude and would be higher or lower depending on the gravity
E-2
-------
of the actual crude run.
• Forced outages due to fires or strikes.
• Crude supply restrictions, particularly those refineries tied to
local crudes.
• Regional and logistical constraints.
• Imbalances between individual product output and market demand.
Discussions with industry sources indicated that about three-fourths
of total reforming capacity is capable of only low severity operation (high
pressure units). The BTX capacity is conservatively taken to be equal to
that of the 1973 calibration run, with the remaining capacity available
for motor gasoline production. Hence, for the East Coast, Large Midwest
and Louisiana Gulf clusters, the existing low severity capacity available
was calculated as three-fourths of total reforming capacity, and total high
severity capacity was obtained by difference. High severity capacity
available for gasoline production in these three clusters was determined
as total high severity capacity less 1973 BTX capacity. Applying this same
methodology to the Small Midcontinent, Texas Gulf, and West Coast clusters
would result in total high severity capacity less than that required for
BTX production. Therefore, for these clusters it was assumed that no high
severity capacity existed for gasoline production. If total calibration
throughput requirements exceeded the adjusted'Oil and Gas Journal capacity,
the former figure was taken as the capacity limitation.
It is recognized that the zero high severity capacity for motor
gasoline production indicated in Table E-l is not true in reality. However,
the assumptions about the amount of existing high and low severity capacity
affect only the assignment of penalties to severity upgrading versus utili-
zation of existing capacity. Total capital requirements are not affected,
so no further refinement of high severity capacity availability was under-
taken.
Next, the cost of upgrading the catalytic reformer severity and the
value of existing facilities had to be assessed. After discussions with
process licensors, it was determined that the cost of upgrading a catalytic
reformer to be capable of 100 RON operation (furnace costs and pressure

alteration) would approximate that of the initial investment of the low
severity unit. This investment will certainly vary from site-to-site;
hence, this upgrading cost is assumed to be equivalent, but all investment
penalties will be reported with this item explicitly identified so that it
may be adjusted easily if improved cost data becomes available. Note,
however, that only 75% of the units potentially need upgrading.
The value of the existing facilities, to be used in the assessment
of the cost of utilization of existing capacity, is more difficult to
identify, since it depends upon the value of alternate use of these
facilities. Fortunately, the total investment penalty is not heavily
dependent upon the value placed on these existing facilities. If the value
is taken equal to cost of installation of a low severity unit, the cost of
utilization is only 7% of the severity upgrading cost for catalytic reform-
ing.
The investment penalties for each of these items is summarized in
Table E-2, along with the cost of installation of new, low-pressure
reformers for comparison.
An example calculation of the cost of capacity utilization for the Large
Midwest cluster is shown in Table E-3, for Scenarios A and C. The reformer
throughput required to meet the gasoline demand and the quality specifications
is obtained from the computer output (Appendix J). For Scenario A, few
changes take place between 1977 and 1985; for Scenario C, the amount of
high-severity reforming increases due to lead regulations, and the total
reforming capacity increases due to yield losses. As noted in Table E-3,
subtracting the throughput of the prior time period from the throughput
requirement allows a break-down between spare capacity utilization and new
reformer capacity requirements. After adjusting the stream day investments
of Table E-2 to a calendar day basis, the total capacity-related costs can
be determined. Note that the cost of spare capacity utilitization is quite
low, making the precise "opportunity cost" assessed for this utilization
immaterial.
The cumulative onsite cost for Scenario C is $3.37 million for this
cluster, while that for Scenario A is $1.40 million. The penalty for lead
regulations is thus $1.97 million. This penalty was further increased by

40% to allow for offsite costs and working capital, leading to $2.76 million.
It should be noted that the investment penalties indicated in Appendix J of
"The Impact of Lead Additive Regulations On The Petroleum Refining Industry,
Volume II" were calculated on a Scenario B versus Scenario A, and Scenario
C versus Scenario B basis. The Scenario C versus A comparison in this
appendix is intended only for illustrative purposes. Furthermore, in
Appendix J, investments for individual units are reported for onsite costs
only, prior to adjustment to a calendar-day basis. The sum of unit onsite
costs is first increased by 40% to allow for offsite costs and working
capital and then adjusted for stream day investments.
An example calculation of the cost of severity upgrading for the Large
Midwest cluster is shown in Table E-4 for Scenarios A and C. The high
severity reformer throughput required to meet gasoline den and and quality
specifications is identical to that shown in Table E-3. The high severity
capacity available was reported in Table E-l for 1973. Subtraction of the
capacity from the throughput requirements and allowing for new high severity
capacity constructed from Table E-3 provides the amount of severity up-
grading required. After correcting the stream day investments of Table E-2
to a calendar day basis, the cost of severity upgrading can be determined.
The cumulative on-site cost for severity upgrading in Scenario C
becomes $16.11 million for the Large Midwest cluster. Subtracting the
upgrading cost for Scenario A (zero in this case), the penalty for lead
regulations becomes $16.1 million. Increasing this cost by 40% to allow
for offsites and working capital, the total penalty for severity upgrading
becomes $22.6 million.
Combining the results of Tables E-3 and E-4, the total reformer related
capital investment penalty for Scenario C versus Scenario, A becomes $25.4
million. To obtain the contribution of the Large Midwest cluster to the
U.S. refining industry requires further multiplication of this penalty by
the scale-up factor of Appendix G.

The methodology used to assess investment costs for utilization of
spare capacity and alterations in severity of operations for hydrocracking
is similar to that used for reforming. Again, calibration results indicated

the hydrocracking capacity and severity required to meet 1973 product
demands and specifications. Table E-5 shows the results taken from computer
outputs of calibration runs. All clusters except the Large Midwest and
Small Midcontinent contained hydrocracker units in 1973. For the
Louisiana Gulf and West Coast clusters, calibration hydrocracker utilization
was at medium severity only, while the Texas Gulf cluster ran at high
severity and the East Coast cluster required both high and medium severity
operations. The existing capacity shown in Table E-5 is the Oil and "Gas
Journal stream day capacity (Appendix I) multiplied by 85%. Because
published information does not provide a breakdown of existing hydrbcracking
capacity by level of severity, it was assumed for purposes of calculating
investment penalties that actual 1973 hydrocracking severities paralleled
the results obtained fn calibration. Hence, for example, 'he existing
18.1 MB/CD hydrocracl Lng capacity for the Texas Gulf cluster was assumed
\
to be designed for high severity operations since calibration results in-
dicated a requirement of 14.7 MB/CD high severity hydrocracking in order to
meet the 1973 product demand slate. Table E-5 also shows spare capacity
available as the difference between total existing capacity in 1973 and
total calibration throughput.
As discussed in the preceeding section on catalytic reforming, an
implicit opportunity cost for utilization of spare capacity specifically
for meeting promulgated or potential EPA regulations n,ust be incorporated
in addition to explicit investment costs for new capacity and for severity
changes. The charge for existing capacity has been taken as the investment
cost required for new capacity. The cost of changing severity levels, which
is 20% of new grassroots investment, represents alterations to provide the
flexibility to vary severity of operations as required to meet product
demand. Table E-6 shows the investment penalties associated with utili-
zation of spare capacity (i.e., investment costs for new hydrocracking
capacity of high and medium severity) and severity flexibility.
»
A calculation of investment penalties for capacity utilization in the
Texas Gulf cluster for Scenarios A and C is provided in Table E-7. In
this example, the cost for utilization of existing capacity is the $1270/B
stream-day investment for high severity hydrocracking (Table E-6), adjusted
to a calendar day basis, since all existing capacity in the Texas Gulf

cluster is at high severity (Table E-5). New capacity investment is that
for medium severity hydrocracking from Table E-6. In 1977, both scenarios
show capacity requirements that exceed the spare capacity available. Thus,
the penalty for Scenario C regulations is represented by the difference in
cost of new hydrocracker capacity of $0.51 million ($2.31 million for
Scenario C less $1.80 million for Scenario A). In 1980, required throughput
for both scenarios is slightly less than the total capacity available after
1977 and hence no penalty is incurred. By 1985, Scenario A required $11
million of new hydrocracker capacity versus less than $1 million for
Scenario C. Total cumulative onsite cost for Scenario A is $17.91 million
while that for Scenario C is $8.29 million, thus showing a net onsite
investment credit of $9.62 million for lead regulations. This credit is
increased by 40% to account for working capital and offsite costs for a
total credit of $13.47 million.
Table E-8 provides an example of the calculation of penalties for
flexibility in hydrocracker operating severity for the Texas Gulf cluster,
Scenarios A and C. In 1977, Sceanrio A requires 6.3 MB/CD of hydrocracking
at medium severity as shown in Table E-7. Since existing capacity is all
at high severity (see Table E-5), throughput requirements at medium
severity must be charged with the cost of alterations to provide severity
flexibility. New capacity construction of 1.4 MB/CD is subtracted from the
medium severity throughput required, as new grassroots investment is assumed
to be installed at the appropriate severity level. Additional severity
flexibility needed is thus 4.9 MB/CD. After 1977 medium severity capacity -
available is the sum of new capacity construction and severity flexibility
provided in 1977.
Similarly, for Scenario C medium severity hydrocracker throughput
requirements are those reported in Table E-7, while capacity available is
that shown in Table E-5 for 1977 and the capacity installed or upgraded in
previous periods for 1980 and 1985. The cost of severity flexibility is
the stream day investment from Table E-6, adjusted to a calendar day basis.
Cumulative onsite costs for providing flexibility in hydrocracking
severity is $4.23 million in Scenario C compared to $1.38 million in
Scenario A. The cumulative onsite severity change penalty for lead
regulations in the Texas Gulf cluster is thus $2.85 million, which when

increased by 40% for working capital and offsite costs, results in a total
flexibility penalty of $3.99 million.
The total cumulative penalty or credit, including new capacity invest-
ment, the charge for utilization of existing capacity, and costs of provid-
ing severity flexibility, is obtained by adding the results of Tables E-7
and E-8. The result is a total hydrocracker investment credit of $9.5
million for lead regulations in the Texas Gulf cluster. The credit to the
total U.S. refining industry is found by multiplying this credit by the
appropriate scale-up factor in Appendix G.
C. ALKYLATION
Calibration results for utilization of alkylation capacity are compared
with existing calendar day capacity in the upper half of T.tble E-9. All but
the Louisiana Gulf ard West Coast clusters show calibration requirements
exceeding the calculated existing capacity. The penalty for utilization of
spare capacity has been taken as the investment cost for new alkylation
capacity as shown below:
Investment For
Standard Unit, MB/SD New Capacity, $/B/SD
Small Midcontinent Cluster 5 2250
All Other Clusters 10 1400
A sample calculation of investment penalties for utilization of exist-
ing alkylation capacity is shown for the Louisiana Gulf, Scenarios A and C,
in Table E-10; no new capacity is required in this case. Alkylation through-
put required in Scenario A is less than existing calibration throughput for
all years and hence there is no cost for use of spare capacity. In 1980,
Scenario C requires 0.2 MB/CD of spare capacity which is charged at the
stream-day investment cost of $1400/B given above and adjusted to a calendar
day basis. In 1985, Scenario C, existing throughput represents total capa-
city available after 1980. Spare capacity available for utilization in 1985
has been reduced by the spare capacity used (and hence charged off) in 1980.
Since no new capacity is required in Scenario C, the cumulative spare capa-
city investment penalty of $.99 million represents total onsite penalties.
Including working capital and offsite costs at 40% of onsite investment, the
total alltylation-related penalty for lead regulations is $1.39 million for

D. ISOMERIZATION
As shown in the lower half of Table E-9, only two clusters—the Small
Midcontinent and the Texas Gulf clusters—had existing isomerization capa-
city, although calibration results showed no isomerization throughput re-
quirements. Grassroots investment for recycle Isomerization is twice the
cost of new once through capacity, as shown in Table E-ll. All existing
capacity is assumed to be once through. The investment for upgrading once
through to recycle isomerization and the charge for utilitzation of existing
capacity are both equal to initial investment for once through isomerization.
Table E-12 shows the calculation of investment penalties for utili-
zation of isomerization capacity for Scenarios A and C in the Texas Gulf
cluster. Scenario A did not require isomerization in any of the three years.
In 1977, Scenario C required 2.6 MB/CD of total isomerization capacity, thus
utilizing all 2.0 MB/CD of spare capacity in this year. The cost of using
spare capacity is the $620/B stream day investment for use of existing once
through capacity from Table E-ll, multiplied by the 2.0 MB/CD throughput
and adjusted to a calendar day basis. The 0.6 MB/CD of new recycle
capacity is multiplied by the investment figure in Table E-ll for new
recycle capacity, for a cost of $.88 million. In 1980, the existing through-
put is that available after 1977 (2.6 MB/CD). Since all spare capacity
was utilized and charged in 1977, additional requirements must come from
construction of new capacity, which in this case is all recycle isomerization.
Scenario C in 1985 requires both new once through and new recycle capacity.
New once through capacity required is determined by subtracting the 0.3
MB/CD once through capacity in 1980 from the 7.0 MB/CD once through through-
put required in 1985. The cost of new once through isomerization, $4.89
million, is then found by multiplying the required new capacity (6.7
MB/CD) times the stream day investment cost for new once through isomeri-
zation given in Table E-ll and adjusted to a calendar day basis. The cost
for new recycle isomerization, $3.21 million, is calculated in a similar
manner.

-------
Cumulative onsite cost for use of existing isomerization capacity and
construction of new capacity for Scenario C versus A is $15.98 million.
Increasing this onsite investment by 40% for offsite costs and working
capital gives an isomerization penalty of $22.37 million for lead regulations
in the Texas Gulf cluster.
Investment penalties for upgrading once through to recycle isomerization
are given in Table E-13 for Scenarios A and C of the Texas Gulf cluster.
Scenario A did not use isomerization and thus has a cumulative cost of zero.
Recycle isomerization throughput required in Scenario C is taken from Table
E-12. Since existing capacity is assumed to be once through isomerization
only (Table E-9), there is no recycle capacity available in 1977. Total
throughput requirements of 2.3 MB/CD less 0.6 MB/CD new recycle capacity
built in 1977 show 1.7 MB/CD of once through isomerization that must be
upgraded. This figure is multiplied by the stream-day investment in Table
E-ll for once through upgrading and adjusted to a calendar day basis for a
cost of $1.24 million. No further once through upgrading is required in
1980 and 1985 so the cumulative onsite investment penalty for Scenario
C is $1.24 million. Including working capital and offsite costs at 40%
of onsite investment, the penalty for upgrading becomes $1.74 million*
Combining the results of additional capacity utilization from Table
E-12 and once through upgrading from Table E-13 gives a total isomerization
investment penalty for Scenario C versus A of $24.1 million. Multiplying
by the scale up factors of Appendix G gives the contribution to the U.S.
industry of the Texas Gulf cluster penalty.

APPENDIX F
DEVELOPMENT OF CLUSTER MODELS
The U.S. refining industry is composed of nearly 300 individual re-
fineries scattered throughout the country; each is characterized by a
unique capacity, processing configuration, and product distribution, often
varying significantly from refinery-to-refinery. In developing a refining
model for the industry, one could attempt to aggregate all these refineries
into a single composite refinery model. Of necessity, such an approach
would require averaging the U.S. crude slate, processing sequence and unit
size, and product distribution in this single refinery model. Furthermore,
since the entire industry is simulated as a single composite refinery, the
model would exhibit a higher degree of flexibility in processing configura-
tions and in selective crude/product blending options than the industry
could achieve in practice. For these reasons, the single composite re-
finery model was not used in these studies. On the other hand, it is
impractical to attempt a simulation of the U.S. refining industry by the
creation of nearly 300 individual computer models, one representing each
individual refinery.
Since there are logical regional groupings of major refineries with
similar crude supply patterns, processing configurations, and product
outputs, a cluster model approach was developed for this study. In this
approach, the existing U.S. refining industry was simulated by a relatively
small number of cluster refinery models. The results of these individual
cluster model studies were composited by using appropriate scale (or
weighting) factors to provide a representation of the U.S. refining industry.
To overcome the disadvantages of the single composite model approach,
it is necessary that each cluster model crude slate, processing configuration
and product outputs closely approximate the specific refineries which the cluster
F-.1
-------
model is intended to represent. As discussed below, this was achieved by select-
ing six geographic regions in the United States having refineries with
similar characteristics, and creating one cluster model for each region.
Hence, a total of six cluster models was used as an appropriate balance be-
tween one single composite refinery model and nearly 300 individual refinery
models.
Furthermore, it is important that each of these cluster refinery models
represent, as closely as possible, a realistic mode of operation of the
actual refineries being simulated. Specifically, processing units should be
of normal commercial size and the plants should be allowed normal flexibility
in regard to raw material selection and product mix.
Also, to allow verification of these objectives, each cluster model
should be calibrated rgainst historical operating data of the refinery being
simulated. Since operating data is confidential for any given refinery, it
was agreed that input/output data, energy consumptions, and plant operating
data be supplied from government and industry as an aggregate of three
specific refineries selected to comprise each cluster model. By using
three, it would be impossible to determine competitive proprietary data for
any single refinery.
The initial task in this program was the identification of the regions
used to represent the U.S. industry and the selection of the specific three
individual refineries which would make up each cluster model. An ad hoc
industry task force comprised of API and NPRA representatives played a major
role in this effort.
A. SELECTION OF CLUSTER MODELS
The selection of the geographic regions to be simulated in the cluster
models required definition of several guidelines, summarized below.
PAD Districts I and V (Figure F-l) have sufficient crude capacity of
common characteristics that they can be simulated by one cluster model for
each district.
PAD District III, which represents about 40% of the U.S. total refining
capacity, was simulated by two models because of its overall importance and
because two types of refining configurations were identified. The Louisiana

-------
Gulf Coast district of Figure F-l (or about 1/3 of the total Gulf) can be
characterized by a single source sweet crude slate, a high percentage of
catalytic cracking, a low percentage of catalytic reforming, and product
outputs emphasizing both major energy products and specialties. The Texas
Gulf Coast district can be typified by higher sulfur and more varied crude
slates, less catalytic cracking, more reforming, and heavy involvement
in petrochemicals, lubes, and other specialty operations.
PAD District II, representing about 28% of domestic capacity, was also
characterized by two refineries. Although its total crude capacity is sojne-
what less than the Gulf, two separate models with quite distinct character-
istics could be identified to simulate the region. One was a large (100+
MB/CD) Midwest cluster model Simulating the Indiana/Illinois/Kentucky
district and processing high sulfur crudes. The other was a moderate size
(50-100 MB/CD) cluster model simulating the Midcontinent (Oklahoma/Kansas/
Missouri) operation which is characterized by lower sulfur crudes and very
low production levels of residual products.
PAD District IV (Rocky Mountains, see Figure F-l) represented top
little refining capacity (<5% of total) to be included as a specific cluster
model.
A list of U.S. refineries was prepared representing refineries suitable
for the aggregation program outlined above. The final identification of
the specific refineries comprising each cluster was jointly agreed upon by
the contractor, EPA, and the ad hoc industry task force. The final selec-
tion is indicated below:

B. COMPARISON OF CLUSTER MODEL TO PAD DISTRICT
The major factor in the original selection of the three refineries com-
prising each cluster was the processing configuration. Tables F-l to F-6
provide detailed processing information for the three selected refineries in
each cluster for January 1, 1973, and January 1, 1974, as presented in the
Oil and Gas Journal annual refining surveys. Table F-7 compares the key
processing configuration for each cluster refinery to the corresponding PAD
total. In PAD III the Texas and Louisiana Gulf refineries bracket the PAD
average for coking and hydrocracking. They are slightly low on reforming
and high on catalytic cracking and alkylation. Since the clusters are in-
tended to represent large refiners that produce high yields of gasoline
rather than small specialty plants maximizing asphalt and/or lubes, this
is to be expected. In PAD II, the coking and catalytic reforming capacity
for the cluster models bracket the PAD average. Catalytic cracking is high
for this PAD region; however, since the cluster refineries contain no hydro-
cracking, the composite of cracking conversion operations checks well against
the PAD average.
In PAp I, the East Coast cluster contained no coking, although it did
possess a higher percentage of catalytic cracking and hydrocracking than the
PAD average. It was considered useful to have at least one cluster model
that did not contain coking, as this is characteristic of many U.S. plants.
The West Coast cluster refineries also exhibited slightly greater process
unit intakes than the PAD average with the exception of alkylation.
Once the specific refineries comprising each cluster were identified,
cluster .input/output data for the year 1973 was requested from the Bureau
of Mines (BOM). This information was then tabulated and compared to the
average of the BOM data for the entire PAD district to determine if the
specific crude slates and product output patterns for the cluster refineries
were representative of the PAD average.

Tables F-8 through F-ll provide the comparison of product outputs. In
general, the cluster refineries exhibited higher yields of gasoline and
distillate fuel oil (except for East Coast) and lower yields of residual
fuel oil (except for West Coast) than the corresponding PAD averages. How-
ever, in no cases were the deviations deemed to be of sufficient magnitude
to change the cluster make-up.
Tables F-12 through F-15 provide the comparison of the crude slate for
each cluster with the crude slate for the PAD district. PAD Districts II
and III showed excellent agreement. There were variations in PAD I, however
the varying crudes were of equivalent quality. For example, the subtotal
of African crudes (light, low sulfur) checked very well and the combined
subtotals of Middle East and South American crudes (heavy, high sulfur)
also showed excellent agreement. Thus, the major discrepency was the re-
placement of mixed Canadian crude with domestic supplies (primarily from
Texas) which should not appreciably change average crude quality.
In PAD V, Canadian crude is replaced by approximately equal quantities
of Middle East and Far East crudes (low sulfur) in the cluster model which,
again does not reflect a major change in crude quality.

APPENDIX G
SCALE UP OF CLUSTER RESULTS -
DERIVATION OF PRODUCT DEMANDS FOR GRASS ROOTS REFINERIES
A. INTRODUCTION
Appendix F explained how the U.S. refining industry has been simulated
by the study of six cluster models, each cluster representing three exist-
ing refineries in different regions of the U.S.A. This appendix discusses
the method of scale up of the results obtained from the cluster model analysis
to represent an aggregate of the total U.S. refining industry. It also
describes how the demands for the grassroots refineries were determined.
B. 1973 CALIBRATION SCALE UP
Each cluster model was considered to represent either part of or a
complete PAD, with the exception of PAD IV which was not represented by a
specific cluster model. The input/output data used in the calibration runs
(Appendix I) was then scaled up by making the gasoline production in the
cluster model equal to the total gasoline production for each PAD as de-
fined in the BOM annual data for 1973.
PAD II ±8 represented by two cluster models; it has been assumed
that the Small Midcontinent cluster represents operations of the Oklahoma/
Kansas/Missouri district and that the balance of District II is represented
by the Large Midwest cluster.
Similarly in PAD III, it has been assumed that the Louisiana Gulf
cluster represents the BOM Louisiana Gulf refining district and the Texas
Gulf cluster represents the balance of District III.
Table G-l gives the input/output data used in the model calibration
runs. These data were then scaled up and are compared with the BOM data
in Table G-2. For example, for the East Coast cluster a scale up factor

of 7.127 has been used since this is the ratio of the gasoline production
of District I to the gasoline production of the East Coast cluster. Table
G-2 also contains a middle column entitled "A/T", which stands for atypical
configuration. This column is an estimate of the effect of those refineries
which do not produce as much motor gasoline on the total output of each
district (except PAD IV). By adding the inputs and outputs from these
atypical refineries to the scaled up cluster model inputs and outputs,
the total cluster model simulation is obtained, which should be comparable
to the BOM data. The basis for determining the volume and product mix of
the atypical refineries in each region is now discussed.
For PAD I, total product outturns from the cluster model were
1,495.6 MB/CD, while the BOM data indicated 1,583.3; therefore 100 MB/CD
has been accounted for via the A/T configuration. The choice of 50 MB/CD
as distillate fuel oil and 50 MB/CD as residual fuel oil was made because
these products were in short supply from the cluster model; also, the
atypical refineries in PAD I produce heavy products predominantly. It should
be noted that the crude supply is equal to the products (i.e. no processing
loss or gain). However, since the A/T crude intake has only a minor effect
on crude slate, this is not important.
In PAD II, which is represented by two cluster models, the addition
of 60 MB/CD A/T configuration for the Small Midcontinent and 40 MB/CD for
the Large Midwest brought the product outturns from the cluster models
close to the BOM statistics.
In PAD III, only a nominal 20 MB/CD of A/T configuration was used to
balance the entire district. PAD IV is not simulated by a cluster model
and therefore the basic BOM data is by definition equal to the A/T con-
figuration needed to balance the district.
The model simulation for PAD's I-IV is obtained by combining the total
cluster model output with the total A/T (including PAD IV), for comparison
with the BOM data for Districts I-IV. Of course, as shown in Table G-2, the
gasoline productions are equal. Other products check quite well with the
cluster models being approximately 150 MB/CD high on distillate fuel and
slightly more than 100 MB/CD low on total residual products (residual fuel,
plus asphalt, plus coke). Total product outturns differed by less than
G-5
-------
30 MB/CD and total intakes by about 10 MB/CD. The scaled up model runs
were about 150 MB/CD high on crude and 50 MB/CD on butanes, but these
were offset by natural gasoline and condensate.
The scale up for PAD V is presented next. After scaling up the
gasoline the results show a greater production of other products (primarily
jet fuel, residual fuel oil and coke) than the BOM data. Thus, it was
concluded that no A/T configuration would be added for this region.
C. DERIVATION OF MODEL FIXED INPUTS AND OUTPUTS FOR FUTURE YEARS
The crude oils and other fixed inputs used in the model runs for the
years 1977, 1980 and 1985 were based on the inputs used in the calibration
runs with certain modifications, as shown in Tables G-3, G-4, and G-5.
The choice of crade oil types has already been discussed in Appendix A.
The amount of crude oil processed was kept constant in all three future
years studied, to simulate no expansion of these refineries (expansion was
included in the grassroots models).
Butanes and natural gasoline inputs were reduced from the calibration
levels to reflect a gradual reduction in availability of these materials.
The volumes used in the calibration runs were reduced by 10% in 1977, 20%
in 1980 and 30% in 1985.
Natural gas purchased by the cluster model refineries was completely
phased out by 1985 to reflect our forecast of the declining production of
natural gas. In 1977, 75% of the volumes purchased in the calibration
runs were used and in 1980 the volumes purchased were 50% of those in
calibration.
Product demands with the exception of LPG and gasoline were fixed,
based on the demands used in the calibration run. The actual demands
used in the cluster model runs for future years were the calibration
demands ratioed up or down based on the total fixed input to the cluster
model (crude oil, butanes, natural gasoline, natural gas and unfinished
oil). For example, the total inputs to the Texas Gulf cluster model in
the calibration run amounted to 365,027 barrels per calendar day (331,400 of
crude oil, 4,180 of butanes, 16,000 of natural gasoline and 13,447 of
natural gas). In the 1985 model runs the total inputs to the Texas Gulf

G-9
-------
cluster model totaled 342,541 barrels per calendar day (328,415 of crude
oil, 2,926 of butanes and 11,200 of natural gasoline). The product demands
for the Texas Gulf cluster for 1985 were derived by multiplying the cali-
bration run demands by a factor of 0.9384 (the ratio of total input in 1985
to the total input in the calibration run).
Also listed in Tables G-3, G-4 and G-5 are the variable outturns
of LPG and gasoline that were produced in each scenario studied.
D. SCALE UP OF RESULTS FOR FUTURE YEARS
The model results for the study years of 1977, 1980 and 1985 were
scaled up using the atypical concept derived from the calibration results.
In 1977, scale up factors were derived as in the calibration scale lip,
using total gasoline demand. In 1980 and 1985 the scale up factors used,
however, were based on total crude run in each cluster and the effective
crude oil distillation capacity for the region simulated by that cluster.
The scale up factors used were calculated by making the crude run in each
region equal to the effective crude oil distillation capacity for that region.
Effective crude oil distillation capacity was defined as 90% of the 1973
calendar day rated capacity, which is similar to historical capacity
utilization. This capacity is shown for each region in Table G-2.
1. 1977 Scale Up
The scale up of results for 1977 was based on meeting the gasoline
demand for the total U.S. from scaled up cluster model gasoline productions,
atypicals and imports only. Since crude capacity utilization was less than
90%, grassroots refineries were not needed in 1977.
This scale up method results in a different scale up factor for each
scenario, since the cluster models produce different gasoline volumes in
each scenario and each scenario is scaled up to the same total U.S. demand
for gasoline. Therefore, in 1977 the penalties for meeting the proposed
regulations will be based on the loss of other products in addition to
additional crude runs required while continuing to produce the same
gasoline volume. Table G-3 gives the fixed inputs and outputs for the 1977
cluster runs and the variable gasoline and LPG productions for each
scenario. Table G-6 gives the scaled up fixed Inputs, fixed outputs and
LPG for each scenario when producing the same volume of gasoline.

In evaluating the penalties associated with any regulation, the
fixed inputs and outputs have both been considered as crude oil.
Product imports into the U.S.A. have been assumed to continue at
similar levels as experienced in 1973 in all the study years. Table G-7
gives the assumptions of atypical refinery inputs and outputs for 1977,
1980 and 1985. The atypical refinery data for PAD IV were based on the
assumption that total crude (plus condensate) was 90% of the rated calendar
day capacity for this district. Product outputs were then ratioed on the
basis of total output in each year compared with the calibration results.
The data for atypical refineries for the remaining PAD districts were based
on a 2% per annum escalation of the 1973 volumes, but assuming zero growth
from 1973 to 1975.
2. 1985 Scale Up
The cluster model input/output data for Scenarios A, B/C, D, E and F
is given in Table G-5. All input data and output data for each cluster
are the same for all scenarios with the exception of. gasoline and LPG which
were allowed to vary from scenario to scenario.
The scale up of the cluster results is given in Table G-8. For
example, for the East Coast cluster, the amount of crude run in the L.P.
model was 197.915 MB/CD. The effective crude oil distillation capacity
for this region was 1506.17 MB/CD and therefore a scale up factor of 7.610
was used (the ratio of effective capacity over model crude run). The
atypical and import volumes are then added to the scaled up cluster volumes
to give total supply of products. These are then compared with the forecast
demand for the major product groups (Gasoline, Jet Fuel, Kerosene,
Distillate Heating Oil and Residual Fuel Oil) in order to derive the demand
for grassroots refining. For example, in Table G-8 the total supply of
jet fuel from existing refineries in Districts I-IV in 1985 is 634,600
barrels per calendar day. The forecasted demand for all refineries
(existing plus additional capacity built by 1985) is 780,000 barrels per
calendar day. Therefore, the jet fuel production required of the grass-
roots refineries in Districts I-IV was set at 145,400 barrels per calendar
day. The grassroots productions of kerosene, distillate fuel oil and
residua] fuel oil were determined in a similar manner. The grassroots

-------
production of gasoline varied from scenario to scenario because of the
effects of the proposed regulations but was also determined the same way.
The results of the scale up exercise indicated that 15 "new refineries"
(these can be new plants or additions to existing ones) with a capacity of
approximately 200,000 barrels per calendar day will be required to meet
East of the. Rockies product demands by 1985. Three "new refineries" will
be required to meet West of the Rockies product demands by 1985. In
determining the L.P. model inputs for the grassroots cases, the grass-
roots volumes shown in Table G-8 were therefore divided by 15 for the East
of the Rockies model and by 3 for the West of the Rockies model.
The forecast product demand was derived by using a "simulated" product
demand pattern obtained by using the scaled up 1973 calibration output for
each cluster model combined with the atypicals and the 1973 imports (see
Appendix B). This was done to prevent minor discontinuities being
leveraged to result in unreasonable grassroots requirements.
This method of determining the demand for grassroots refining does
not consider the increased demand for specialty products and therefore the
total demand shown for grassroots refining in 1985 will be deficient by
the increased demand for specialty products. By comparison with Appendix B,
the simulated 1985 product demands are 92% of our forecast of total prod"CL
demand. The results for the grassroots refinery model runs have therefore
been scaled up by a further factor of 1.087 (1 divided by .92) to reflect
the need to meet total product demand.
3. 1980 Scale Up
The scale up for 1980 was done in an identical pattern to that for
1985. The scale up results are shown in Table G-9. The results showed
that 6 to 7 new grassroots refineries of approximately 200 MB/CD would be
required to meet the product demand of PAD I-IV by 1980, included in the
total of 15 refineries by 1985 discussed above. Again, these "new
refineries" include both major expansions of existing refineries and grass-
roots refineries.
Two new refineries would be required to meet PAD V product demands by
1980, included in the total of 3 refineries by 1985 discussed above.

E. SCALE UP OF CAPITAL INVESTMENTS
The scale up factors derived in the first part of this Appendix have
been used to scale up all the L.P. model results except the capital
investment requirements. In determining the capital investment requirements
on an aggregate U.S. basis it was felt that the requirements of the small
to medium refiner (refineries with capacities below 75,000 barrels per day)
would not be adequately reflected if the scale up factors derived in the
first part of this Appendix were applied to the cluster model capital invest-
ment requirements.
The only cluster model which represented the small to medium refiner
was the Small Midcontinent model. Based on the derived scale up factors the
investments resulting from this model would carry a weighting factor of 21%
of the total scaled up cluster model investments. In fact, refineries with
capacities less than 75,000 barrels per day represent some 30% of the total
U.S. refining capacity. To correct for the fact that the straightforward
scale up method would not fully account for the small refiners and based on
an aggregate of the study results obtained, the total cluster model invest-
ments (this does not include the grassroots model investment) were scaled
up by a further 17%.
This factor of 17% was derived by calculating the investment require-
ments associated with a particular regulation for each of the cluster models
on a dollar per barrel per day basis. Then, the total capital investment
penalty for the regulation was calculated by multiplying the dollar per
barrel capital requirement of the Small Midcontinent model by the capacity
of refineries in PAD I, for example, with a refinery capacity below 75,000
BPD. To this figure was added the dollar per barrel capital requirement for
the East Coast model multiplied by the capacity of refineries in PAD I with
individual refinery capacities above 75,000 BPD. When this procedure was
repeated for all PAD's, the total U.S. capital investment was found to be
17% above that obtained by a direct use of the scale up factors derived
earlier in this Appendix. When this procedure was used for the regulations
considered in the three companion reports, these deviations were found to
range from 15% to 21%. Therefore, a constant value of 17% was used for all
the regulations studied.

APPENDIX H
TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION
This appendix provides basic yields, blending properties, operating
costs and investment data which comprise the ADL Refinery Modeling System.
Over the past several years ADL has accumulated and continually updated a
data bank containing crude assays & other relevant data for refinery
simulation purposes. The sources for this basic data are many and varied,
including technical literature, data received from clients for specific
projects, and Internally developed information. Much of the basic gasoline
blending data was derived from an update of "U.S. Motor Gasoline Economics,
Volume 1, Manufacture of Unleaded Gasoline" published June 1, 1967 by
the American Petroleum Institute. In general, the simulation data presently
represents a consensus of Individual data elements from different sources
which have been blended and in some cases modified based on our technical/
economic experience in this field.
A. CRUDE OIL PROPERTIES
Table H-l provides distillation yield data and selected product in-
spections for the various crude oils (and natural gasoline) used in this
study. For most of the crude oils, more than one crude assay was available
and the yields presented reflect a composite of the information available.
As can be seen in the table, the crude oil assay is divided into individual
light hydrocarbons through butanes (methane and ethane are combined to-
gether and presented as fuel oil equivalent barrels (FOE)*). Straight-run
naphtha is divided into four boiling fractions the lightest of which
(C.5-160°F) can be isomerized or routed directly to motor gasoline blending.
*An FOE barrel is equivalent to 6.3 x 10 BTU gross heating value.
H-l
-------
The light naphtha fraction (160-200°F) can be reformed or blended to
gasoline. The medium naphtha fraction (200-340°F) must be reformed.
The heavy naphtha fraction (340-375°F) can be either reformed or blended
to middle distillate products.
Straight-run atmospheric gas oil is divided into two fractions - a
375-500°F product with suitable volatility characteristics for blending
to aviation turbine fuel and a 500-650°F heating/diesel oil component.
Atmospheric bottoms (650°+) is usually processed in a vacuum distillation
unit operating at an equivalent cut point of approximately 1,050°F.
Key properties for each crude oil fraction specifically used in the
model runs are shown in TablesH-13 andH-14. Other i-ropeities of these
fractions are aJ so important in product blending, which were met by allowing
only suitable boiling range fractions to be blended into these products.
B. PROCESS DATA
Tables ti-2 and H-3 provide basic yield data for the catalytic reforming
simulations in the model. Product inspections are reported in Table H-15.
As noted previously, three different straight-run boiling fractions can be
charged to reforming. Unit yields are provided for three severity levels
of operation - 90, 95, and 100 clear research octane number (RON) on the
C5 + reformate product.
The yields simulate bi-metallic catalyst operation at moderate (300-
400 psig) reactor pressure. The hydrogen yield shewn in the table and ised
in the model is the effective hydrogen production available for hydro-
treating purposes. This value is approximately 2/3 the stpchiometric yield
of pure hydrogen and accounts for different operating factors for reforming
vs. various hydrotreaters, required purge volume and other inefficiencies
in refinery hydrogen usage. The stochiometric hydrogen not made available
for hydrotreating purposes is included with the ethane/methane stream to
refinery fuel.
Table H-2 presents reforming yield data for straight-run naphthas
while Table H-3 presents yield data for catalytic reforming of naphthas
H-2
-------
supplied from various conversion processes. Two heavy hydrocracked napht.has
are identified: one derived from straight-run gas oils (atmospheric or
vacuum) feeds and a second produced from cracked gas oil feedstocks (i.e.
catalytic cracking, coking, etc.) which produces a higher ring content
reformer feedstock. Other potential feeds to catalytic reforming are
medium coker naphtha and heavy catalytic cracked gasoline both of which are
hydrotreated.
Item Nos. 4, 10, 38, 40, and 43 in the Technical Documentation Reference
List provides process yield data on catalytic reforming. The ADL simulation
model data is not derived from any specific reference source and the referenced
articles are only noted to indicate the range of industry information avail-
able and that the selected ADL model data is representative of published
plant experience.
The yield data of Table H-2 are a simplified representation of reformer
operation, but do provide for ease of computer simulation. Because the
reformer simulation is critical to the present study, extensive computer
check runs were made with alternate yield data of Tables H-19 and H-20,
which represent improved reformer simulation. Check runs were conducted
on the Texas Gulf cluster model, which represents a major contribution to the
U.S. gasoline production. From these studies, it was concluded that the yields
of Table H-2 and 11-3 were quite adequate in the present simulation studies.
Table H-4 provides yield data for catalytic cracking. Four different
yield structures are displayed for catalytic cracking - at low and high
severity operation, and for raw and hydrotreated feed. By utilizing a
weighted average of the data, operating severity for untreated feed can range
from 65-85% volume conversion, while that for hydrotreated feed can range from
72.5-95%. There are variations in C3/C4 olefin, isobutane, and gasoline
yields between cluster models, primarily to balance historical alkylation
operating levels. These catalytic cracking yields are based on operation
with zeolite catalysts. Item Nos. 5, 14, 15, 17, 38, 42, 43, 44, 46, and
47 in the Technical Documentation Reference List provide process yield
data for catalytic cracking.
H-3
-------
Hydrocracking yields are presented in Table H-5 for two severity
levels of operation - one producing maximum gasoline, and a low severity
operation producing approximately 60% jet fuel product. Yields from three
different feedstocks are shown for hydrocracking: atmospheric gas oil,
vacuum gas oil, and cracked gas oils (from catalytic cracking, coking, etc.).
Item Nos. 1, 3, 38, 43, and 45 in the Technical Documentation Reference
List provide process yield data for hydrocracking.
Table H-6 provides delayed coking yields for processing vacuum bottoms
feedstocks or heavy cycle oil from catalytic cracking. Variations exist
in gas oil and coke yields between cluster models to reflect the differing
crude slates for these models. Item Nos. 34, 36, 39, and 43 in the
Technical Documertation Reference List provide process yield data for
delayed coking.
Table H-8 provides yield data for hydrotreating operations while
selected product properties are shown in Table H-12. Vacuum and atmospheric
bottoms hydrotreating is allowed only in the two grassroots models as it is
anticipated that this process will not be commonly installed in existing
plants. (See Appendix F) Therefore, data is provided for only two crudes -
Arabian Light for the East Coast and Alaskan North Slope for the West Coast.
Hydrotreating of Arabian Light atmospheric bottoms is shown producing 1%
and .5% sulfur product, and for vacuum bottoms 1% and .6% sulfur. Alaskan
North Slope atmospheric bottoms may be desulfurized to .5% and vacuum
bottoms to .6%.
Table H-9 provides data on miscellaneous refinery process units,
including isomerization, alkylation, and aromatics extraction. Two operating
modes are available for isomerization, onre-through and recycle. The alkylation
unit is assumed to charge a mixed C~/C, olefin stream containing about 1/3
C_ olefins and 2/3 C, olefins. Aromatics extractions charging a reformate
produced from light naphtha (100-200°F) feedstock produces a 50/50 mix of
BTX/raffinate. The product mix declines to 25/75 when a heavier reformer
feedstock is used. Item Nos. 2, 6, 11, 13, 19, 38, and 43 in the Technical
Documentation Reference List provide process yield data for the above
miscellaneous refinery process units.
H-4
-------
Tables H-10 and H-ll provide hydrogen consumption data for hydrotreating
and hydrocracking. There are two hydrogen purity systems in the model. A
"normal purity" system of approximately 80% hydrogen purity is supplied
by catalytic reforming and is suitable for all hydrotreating use. (Only
about 2/3 of the stochiometric hydrogen produced by reforming is available
for hydrotreating use as noted in the reforming discussion in this section.)
Purification of this system for upgrading is not allowed in the model. A
"high purity" hydrogen system is required for hydrocracking use which must
be supplied by a synthetic hydrogen plant charging either natural gas or
naphtha feedstock. Hydrogen consumption for straight-run distillate and
residual streams is crude specific, varying with the properties of the
respective crude fractions. Item Nos. 28, 29, 38, and 43 in the Technical
Documentation Reference List provide process yield data for hydrogen con-
sumption.
C. GASOLINE BLENDING QUALITIES
Tables H-13 through H-16 provide gasoline blending properties for
Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP), octanes, and sulfur contents. The original
source of much of the RVP and octane data was from the referenced API
study noted in the first paragraph in this section. In general, ADL took
the respective octane numbers for each non-straight-run component quoted
in the study and adjusted for blending bonuses by combining those for
premium and regular gasoline in a 1/3-2/3 ratio. The octane numbers thus
derived were submitted to an API/NPRA task force as well as to other industry
sources for review. Many verbal and written comments were received and the
numbers used in this study reflect the consensus of these comments. Item
Nos. 7, 8, 9, 16, and 41 in the Technical Documentation Reference List provide
industry comments on the gasoline blending octane numbers.
D. SULFUR DISTRIBUTION
The distribution of sulfur in the product streams for several units
is presented in Tables H-17 and H-18. Item Nos. 12, 18, 37, and 39 in
the Technical Documentation Reference List provide process yield data for
sulfur distribution.
H-5
-------
E. OPERATING COSTS
Tables H-21 through H-26 provide detailed unit consumptions and cost
coefficients of the individual elements that comprise refinery operating
costs. These include maintanence, labor, purchased catalysts and chemicals,
(including royalties) purchased electricity, steam, cooling water, and
refinery fuel. The unit consumptions are provided per barrel of intake
for each refinery process, except alkylation, which is per barrel of
aIkylate.
Refinery steam requirements are balanced by a steam generating facility
which consumes additional refinery fuel. Cooling water requirements can
be purchased or supplied by a central refinery cooling tower. Unit con-
sumptions for crude and products handling are provided per barrel of total
crude oil charged to the refinery, and reflect operating costs associated
with receiving and storing crude oil, and blending, storage and loading of
finished products.
F. CAPITAL INVESTMENTS
Estimating investments for onsite and offsite process units currently
is difficult because of the recent rapid rate of inflation and the long
time it takes to build a large, complete petroleum refinery. Nevertheless,
investment estimates were necessary and have been determined using data
from literature sources, from engineering contractors, and from internal
cost files.
In order to minimize the impact of estimates of inflationary factors
over the next decade, all investments used in the model were 1975 costs,
i.e. all materials and labor were costed on a first quarter, 1975 basis.
This is equivalent to a hypothetical case in which a refinery is designed,
equipment ordered, and constructed all within the year 1975. In Volume I
of the report, these costs are also reported for an assumed level of cost
escalation to more nearly reflect the actual costs that will be incurred
for the scenarios under evaluation, assumed to be 20%, 17%, 15%, 10%, 10%,
10%, 9%, 9%, 8%, 8%, 8% for the years 1975-1985.
H-6
-------
Onsite capital investments were estimated by the unit costs of Table
H-27. Variation of the unit investments with unit capacity utilized
the standard curves such as reported by Nelson. Item Nos. 20, 21, 22,
27, 30, 31, 32,33, and 35 in the Technical Documentation Reference List
provide typical capital investment numbers.
In assessing refinery costs, units were costed individually using
the data of Table H-27. In addition, costs of capacity utilization and
severity upgrading were assessed, as discussed in Appendix E. Offsite
and working capital requirements for the cluster models were taken to be a
constant 40% of onsite costs. Offsite costs and working capital requirements
for the grassroots models were obtained by the Nelson complexity factor
approach, discussed in detail in Item Nos. 23, 24, 25, and 26 in the Technical
Documentation Reference List. With this approach, working capital was taken
to be 70% of total onsite capital investment. In the cases considered, off-
sites and associated costs (including working capital) varied from 200-
300% of onsite costs.
In assessing the economic penalties associated with a regulation, a
capital-related penalty was taken to be 25%/year of the total capital invest-
ment. This capital charge, used for both cluster and grassroots models,
provides for return on invested capital, and is equivalent to roughly 12%
rate of return on an after tax, discounted cash flow basis. A discussion
of capital costs for small refiners appears in Appendix G.

APPENDIX I
MODEL CALIBRATION
Upon completion of the development of the cluster refinery modeling
concept, which is discussed in Appendix F, an extensive calibration effort
was undertaken by Arthur D. Little (ADL) with the assistance of the Bureau
of Mines (BOM), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and an ad hoc
industry task force coordinated by the American Petroleum Institute (API)
and National Petroleum Refiners Association (NPRA).
A. BASIC DATA FOR CALIBRATION
1. Refinery Input/Output
Every refiner in the United States provides monthly statistics to the
BOM. concerning refinery inputs, production and a summary of fuel consumed
for all purposes. The BOM accumulates and summarizes this data on a monthly
and annual basis, and publishes aggregate statistics by PAD district, BOM
refining district, and in some cases by state.
For this project, the BOM supplied EPA with 1973 annual data for the
aggregate of the three specific refineries comprising each individual cluster
model (see Appendix F). This data as received from the BOM is presented in
Tables 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3.
Table 1-1 contains the refinery input/output data for the year 1973 in
the standard BOM reporting format.
Table 1-2 provides a breakdown of refinery crude receipts by origin,
by individual state for domestic crudes, and by country for foreign sources.
Tables 1-3 and 1-4 provide statistics on fuel consumed for all purposes in
the cluster model refineries for the year 1973.

Several revisions were made to the data as originally transmitted by
the BOM in preparing Table 1-1. These changes resulted from discussions
between the EPA and individual refiners and revised information was trans-
mitted to ADL. Data presented in Table 1-1 represents the revised version.
One of the refineries included in the East Coast cluster model' shut down
a catalytic cracking/alkylation complex during the calendar year 1973 and
started up a new hydrocracker and associated operations. Therefore, it was
considered that the use of annual statistics for this refinery in 1973 would
not provide meaningful information. Accordingly, this particular plant
provided specific refinery input/output data to the EPA covering that portion
of the year when operations were relatively consistent. The KPA extrapolated
these results to a calendar year basis which were then incorporated with the
1973 annual operating data supplied by the other companies to obtain the
revised input/output data for this cluster model, and presented in Table 1-1.
Note that this cluster model also provided an extensive breakdown of unfin-
ished oil intake which represents a substantial portion of the raw material
consumed in this cluster.
The product blending and input streams used in the ADL refinery simula-
tion model system do not correspond exactly to the format used in the Bureau
of Mines reports. Accordingly, it was necessary to make some adjustments to
the basic Bureau of Mines data to meet the requirements of the ADL model.
The transformation of this data is summarized in Table 1-5, with the metho-
dology outlined in Table 1-6. In comparing the data in Table 1-1 with
Table 1-5, it must be remembered that the BOM presents annual aggregate
statistics for the total of three plants while the information in Table I-l»
is presented in MB/CD for the "average" single refinery operation represent-
ing the cluster. In undertaking the calibration efcort, all product demands
and non-crude inputs to the model were fixed. The model was then allowed to
vary crude intake as needed to balance refinery product (and internal fuel)
demands.

Table 1-6 presents the procedure for converting the BOM data as shown
in Table 1-1 to the ADL format in Table 1-5. For the Small Midcontinent,
East Coast, and West Coast cluster models, the ethane and/or ethylene pro-
duction shown in line 17 of the BOM data was not converted to an FOE basis.
For the West Coast cluster model, the total gasoline outturn used for the
calibration model was 67.77 MB/CD although the correct number should have
been 68.19. Isobutane and normal butane for Louisiana and isobutane for
the West Coast were entered as 6.10/5.97/.50, respectively, instead of the
correct figures 6.40/5.67/.60. In addition, LPG to petrochemicals in the
West Coast was entered as 1.30 rather than the correct 1.39. Since it was
felt that the calibration would not significantly be improved by correcting
these items, no further adjustments were made.
The following assumptions were used in constructing Table 1-6. Naphtha
jet fuel production (BOM category 7 (a)) was assumed to consist of 80%
naphtha and 20% kerosene. Category 22 (Naphtha-less than 400°F end point-
petrochemical feedstock use) was considered to be 100% mixed aromatics
referred to as BTX. Discussions with some individual oil companies indicated
that for most companies this is a reasonable assumption. However, for
certain companies this category represents a mixed reformate stream prior
to extraction. Category 23 (other oils—over 400° end point-petrochemical
feedstock use) was added to distillate fuel oil production.
Unfinished oils were considered to consist of 65% catalytic cracker
feed and 35% catalytic reformer feed, except in the Texas Gulf cluster.
Discussions with members of the API/NPRA Task Force indicated this to be
a reasonable representation for this category. In the Texas Gulf cluster
the percentage of catalytic cracker feed in unfinished oils was adjusted
to 29% to improve calibration.
Discrepancies were noted in the mode of reporting BOM statistics from
company-to-company. Refinery residual fuel production (BOM category 10
in Table 1-1) was usually reported as the net production from the refinery.
However, some companies also included in this total any internal residual
fuel consumption (category A., 2b), as is shown in Table 1-3. Table 1-3
also provides purchased natural gas consumption in category A.4. Most
companies report natural gas in this category for fuel use only. However,
1-9
-------
some companies with hydrogen generating facilities include natural gas for
this purpose within this BOM category. The above company-to-company
variations obviously limit the degree of calibration possible with the
cluster models.
Table 1-7 reports the crude slate used for each cluster model to
simulate the reported BOM data. The objective was to simulate average
domestic/foreign mix, sulfur content, API gravity, and other key proper-
ties as closely as possible, while still keeping the number of crudes to
a manageable level. Table 1-7 also contains a comparison between the
average sulfur content of the model crude slates compared with the industry
data obtained from the individual companies and averaged by che EPA.
The follouii g general methodology was used; to develop the model crude
slates. Louisiana crude was used to simulate'Louisiana and low sulfur
Texas crudes. Oklahoma crude was used to represent light, sweet crudes
from the Midcontinent. West Texas sour was used to simulate high sulfur
crudes from Texas and New Mexico. Wilmington and Ventura were used to
simulate heavy and light California crudes respectively. Nigerian Forcados
was used to represent heavy African crudes while Algerian Hassi Messaoud
was used to simulate light African crudes. Arabian Light represented
average Middle East production and Tia Juana Medium was used to simulate
Venezuelan crude.
2. Processing Configurations
The annual refinery surveys published in the Oil and Gas Journal were
used as the basic reference source for determining cluster model processing
configurations. Since operations for the calendar year 1973 were to be
simulated, unit capacities were tabulated for January 1, 1973 and
January 1, 1974, and an arithmetic average of these was used as the
capacity available for the calendar year 1973. Tables 1-8 through 1-13
provide the basic processing data for each of the refineries comprising
the respective cluster models. Each table provides 1973 and 1974 capacity
data and the arithmetic average for the cluster of each, as well as the
final capacity limits used in the calibration effort. It should be noted
that the Oil and Gas Journal processing unit capacity data is presented
in barrels per stream day; these figures were used directly for the

calibration effort, since it was not known if any operating units were,
in fact, shut down for maintenance during 1973. When this processing
configuration capacity data was used for computer runs for 1977, 1980,
and 1985, appropriate stream-day-factors were applied.
A stream day capacity limit for a conversion processing unit such as
catalytic cracking or reforming is only meaningful at a given operating
severity level. The maximum feed rate that a unit can process will
increase as severity declines. The Oil and Gas Journal capacity data
was assumed to be applicable at 65% volume conversion for catalytic
cracking and 95 RON for catalytic reforming. Feed capacity adjustments
for severity were used in the calibration runs.
Since the OiL and Gas Journal does not provide capacity data on
hydrogen manufacture or sulfur recovery facilities, no limits on these
operations were imposed in the calibration runst
3. Product Data
As part of this project, EPA obtained from each individual oil company
the average gasoline grade distribution for calendar year 1973 and asso-
ciated octane levels/lead additions for each grade, shown in Table 1-14.
Also shown in Table 1-14 are total gasoline volumes and average sulfur
contents as supplied by the individual companies and compiled by the EPA.
In some cases, the gasoline volumes deviated from the information received
from the BOM - for the Texas Gulf Coast and West Coast, the industry pro-
duction data was about 3 MB/CD below BOM statistics. For these cases,
the BOM data was used in the calibration effort.
Table 1-15 provides other key product specifications used in the
calibration runs. Distillate fuel sulfur specifications were allowed to
vary from model to model in an effort to achieve reasonable utilization
of existing desulfurization capacity. Since U. S. refiners did not
desulfurize residual stocks in 1973, sulfur specifications were relatively
"loose" for this product. After discussions with several oil companies,
it was felt that LPG for petrochemicals feedstock use would be met by a
fixed blend of 80% mixed C^/CA olefins, 16% propane and 2% each of iso
and normal butane.

4. Calibration Economic Data
As was stated previously, for the calibration runs each individual
product demand was fixed as .well as non-crude inputs. For each cluster
model, one important crude, a reference crude, was allowed to vary to
balance product demands and internal fuel requirements. Other crude inputs
were fixed.
The reference crudes used were:
Cluster Model Reference Crude
Louisiana Gulf Louisiana
Texas Gulf West Texas Sour
Large Midwest West Texas Sour
Small Midcontinent Oklahoma
East Coast Tia Juana
West Coast Wilmington
The reference crude was assumed to cost $4.00/bbl. for all models
except the East Coast, which used $4.25/bbl.
Maximum natural gas availability was established for each cluster
model based on the BOM data presented in Table 1-3 under category A-4.
In some cases, this value was increased somewhat to account for natural
gas consumed in hydrogen manufacture. The model could purchase up to the
specified maximum at the prices indicated as follows:

Full refinery operating costs were used for the optimization of the
calibration runs. Unit costs for all models included purchased electricity
at l.*2c per KWH, cooling water at 4c per 1,000 gal., and $430.00 per daily
shift position for operating labor. Capital charge (annualized capital
recovery rate) for the existing capacity in the cluster model was reduced
to l/10th the normal level (25%) which would be assessed to new plant
construction. (This resulted in a 2.5% per year annual charge of the
plant capital value in 1973 dollars.)
In theory, the day-to-day optimization and operation of any manu-
facturing facilities should consider the capital charges associated with
existing plant investments as "sunk" capital, and thus not be a factor
for influencing operating decisions. However, there can be tax savings
associated with early tax write-offs of existing facilities and the land
area occupied by refinery processing units undoubtedly has value. Thus,
we feel a relatively nominal 10% of full capital charge to be a reasonable
approach in the optimization of existing facilities.
B. CALIBRATION RESULTS FOR CLUSTER MODELS
There are four main areas in which one can compare the degree of
calibration for the cluster models. These are:
• Overall Refinery Material Balance (i.e., volume of the crude
intake required to balance specified product demands and interna1.
fuel requirements)
• Refinery Energy Consumption
• Processing Configuration, Throughputs and Operating Severities
• Key Product Properties (i.e., gasoline clear pool octanes, lead
levels, etc.)
As noted previously in this Appendix, the EPA obtained specific
operating data from each individual refinery within each cluster model,
and EPA averaged the industry statistics which were then transmitted to
ADL. Table 1-16 presents this data as received from the EPA.
Refinery flow diagrams resulting from the calibration runs are shown
in Figures 1-1 through 1-6.

Tables 1-17 through 1-22 provide key calibration results concerning
the first three, of the above four, comparison areas, for each of the
cluster models. For example, Table 1-18 provides the information for
the Texas Gulf cluster. The first element in this table reports the
total crude intake for the calendar year 1973 from the BOM data, industry
data, and the ADL model run. The BOM crude input data (converted to
MB/CD) was obtained from Table 1-1 by adding categories l(a) + l(b),
subtracting category 24 (the ADL model did not manufacture "other" finished
products since they could not be discretely identified), plus BOM category 3
(whenever information was reported in this category). The industry data as
compiled by the EPA reflects some non-crude material being charged to
atmospheric distillation units, but in general, checks reasonably well
with BOM statistics.
Next, in Table 1-18, is a comparison of refinery energy consumption-.
The BOM data for purchased natural gas is obtained from Table 1-3 assuming
1,000 BTU's per SCF heating value. The Texas Gulf cluster model is the
only one that did not use all the available natural gas. Since total
refinery fuel usage for this category represented 12.1% of crude intake
(exclusive of purchased electricity and catalytic cracking catalyst coke),
this cluster is not typical when compared to the rest of the U. S. Since
the Texas Gulf Coast refineries have extensive specialty (i.e., lube
processing) and petrochemicals operations which are not simulated by the
ADL refinery model, we felt that it was not required that a close calibra-
tion be achieved on total refinery fuel usage and purchased natural gas.
On an FOE basis, the difference in refinery fuel consumption (13.6 MB/CD)
is similar to the difference in purchased natural gas (15.8 MB/CD), indi-
cating that internal fuel generation and consumption is in balance.
Electricity consumption (purchased and internally generated) is also shown
in the energy consumption category.
Finally, in Table 1-18, is shown a comparison entitled "Processing
Summary" presenting the various intakes/severities of the model run
results with data reported by industry and capacity data obtained from
the Oil and Gas Journal. We do not know if all the data reported by
industry on catalytic reforming severity (RON) includes those reformers

operating primarily for BTX production. The reported ADL reforming
severity is for motor gasoline blending use only.
The West Coast and East Coast cluster model runs (Tables 1-21 and
1-22) consumed more natural gas than was indicated to be available by
the BOM data. In these cases we increased the allowable maximum above
BOM statistics to account for hydrogen plant feedstock use. The Louisiana
and Texas model runs consumed more electricity than indicated by BOM data
while the other four consumed less.
The Large Midwest cluster (Table 1-19) contains two refineries built
since 1970. Since these refineries are among the most modern in the U. S.
it is expected that their fuel efficiency will be much greater-than the
U. S. average. It was decided to reduce the average unit fuel consumptions
outlined in Appendix H to 80% of the usual levels to improve calibration.
After this adjustment was made, the refinery material balance and energy
consumption checked quite well against BOM data; this adjustment was main-
tained for all future runs.
Tables 1-23 through 1-28 present gasoline blending summaries for each
cluster model which include a comparison of gasoline average sulfur content,
clear pool octanes, and lead additions with industry data. For example,
Table 1-24 contains the gasoline blending summary for the Texas Gulf.
Included in the table is a tabulation of each blending component and the
respective volumes routed to premium, regular and low lead gasolines.
The sulfur content (PPM) is shown for each blending component and the
average for the pool was calculated to be 524 PPM compared with the re-
ported industry data of 410 PPM. The model run required 1.99 grams per
gallon of lead addition compared to the industry data of 2.09.
In general, all cluster model results checked well against industry
data in regard to pool octanes and lead addition. Sulfur contents also
checked quite well with the exception of the Louisiana Gulf Coast and
East Coast. For the Louisiana Gulf Coast the industry reported an average
of 440 PPM which appears to us to be unreasonably high considering the
average sulfur content of the crude slate to this cluster model. Con-
versely, the industry reported East Coast value of 230 PPM appears to
be low by n factor of 2-3.

In order to improve the octane calibration, the basic gasoline blending
values shown in Table H-12 in Appendix H were modified somewhat for most
cluster models. For the Louisiana Gulf, the Large Midwest, Small
Midcontinent and East Coast all leaded research octanes were lowered
0.5 units and leaded motor octane numbers were increased 1.0 units. The
leaded motor octane numbers only were increased by 0.2 units for the Texas
Gulf Coast and no octanes were chanced for the West Coast.

APPENDIX J
STUDY RESULTS
This appendix gives a detailed summary of the results of this study.
Tables J-l through J-4 give the economic and energy penalties for the
total U.S. refining industry for the reduction of refinery sulfur oxides
emissions. These have been calculated by scaling up the LP model results
using the scale up factors derived in Appendix G. The scaled up capital
investment requirements and operating costs used in evaluating the econ-
omic penalties are given in Tables J-5 and J-6. Table J-7 provides exis-
ting capacity and calibration utilization of capacity for reforming, hydro-
cracking, alkylation and isomerization. These figures were used as the
basis for determining capital requirements, as discussed in Appendix E.
The LP model results are given in Tables J-8 through J-47. Capital
investments and operating costs for the LP model runs are given in Tables
J-8 through J-15. Crude slates and other Inputs, product outputs, and
process unit throughput and severities are given in Tables J-16 through
J-29. Gasoline blends are given in Tables J-30 through J-43. The volumes
of refinery fuel consumed and the amount of residual fuel oil produced,
together with their sulfur levels are given in Tables J-44 through J-47.
A. MASS AND SULFUR BALANCE
The computer model operates on a volumetric basis, and each process
unit yield structure was carefully checked to ensure that the volumetric
process outturns were reliable. The sulfur content of each stream was
entered in Ibs./barrel, and was similarly checked and mass balanced for
specific feedstocks. At the completion of the study, it was deemed to be
desirable to illustrate the method of checking overall mass balances and
sulfur balances, for the benefit of interested parties. Hence, sample
calculations are provided herein to illustrate this procedure.
J-l
-------
To complete these sample calculations, specific gravities were
assumed for every stream in the refinery simulation. Using the stream
flow rates from the computer output and the assumed gravities, the weight
balances shown in Tables J-54 and J-55 were constructed. Because of the
time which would be required to refine these assumed gravities, the input
and output streams do not balance precisely; hence, the results illus-
trate the method of calculation, but are not indicative of the actual mass
balances in the simulation.
Figure J-l and Tables J-54 and J-55 detail the hydrocarbon and sulfur
flows by individual process units for the Texas Gulf cluster, with num-
bered arrows on the flowsheet corresponding to stream numbers and stream
names listed on the tables. Table J-54 gives volume, mass, and sulfur
flows for Scenario B/C and Table J-55 for Scenario F. Refinery streams of
C. and lighter, as well as gases, such as H_S and SO , are grouped in
*f £• 3C
verticle output arrows on the flowsheet and in streams labeled "light ends"
on the tables.
-Following is a discussion of the methodology used in the Texas Gulf
mass and sulfur balance for 1985, Scenario B/C.
1. Crude-Specific Streams
Stream values for crude-specific streams are calculated from infor-
mation on process intakes (Tables J-23 through J-29), yield on crude or
process yields, hydrogen consumption, sulfur removal in desulfurization
and stream qualities (Appendix H).
For example, arrow #5 on Figure J-l represents the aggregated flow
of gas oils 375-650°F for the crudes charged to the atmospheric distilla-
tion tower. The unaggregated values for each crude's gas oil is calcu-
lated and summed in Table J-48. The crude volume or charge (column 1)
multiplied by the yield on crude (column 2) gives the stream volume
(column 5). The stream volume multiplied by the stream density gives the
hydrocarbon weight for that stream. Sulfur content (column 4) divided by
100 and multiplied by the hydrocarbon weight yields the sulfur weight
(column 7). Sulfur in PPM (parts per million) is derived from the hydro-
carbon and sulfur weights as shown. Stream values for other crude-speci-
fic streams are calculated in a similar manner with the exception of
J-2
-------
refornate whose qualities for light, medium and heavy straight-run naphtha
are given in Appendix H.
Desulfurization of crude-specific streams requires additional infor-
mation on hydrogen consumption and the level of sulfur removal. For exam-
ple, desulfurization of light gas oil requires 190 SCF of hydrogen per
barrel of intake and converts 99% of the feed sulfur into H.S, leaving
the remaining 1% in the liquid output stream Csee Table J-49).
Isomerization takes in desulfurized C^ to 160°F for all crudes except
Nigerian, whose undesulfurized stream is at the required 1 PPM sulfur
level.
2. Cluster-Specific Streams
Cluster-specific streams, output streams of the catalytic cracker,
coker and visbreaker, have constant specific gravities (with the exception
of desulfurized FCC feed) and sulfur contents which vary according to the
feed sulfur level (i.e., with the crude slate and cluster). The feed sul-
fur to each process unit is distributed among the products according to
the percentages given in Appendix H. Because the actual feed to these
units cannot be known until after the LP solution has been reached, an
estimate of each unit's feed is made prior to LP optimization in order to
set output stream sulfur contents. Catalytic cracker feed is assumed to
be vacuum overhead (650-1050°F) and coker/visbreaker feed is assumed to be
vacuum bottoms (1050°F+). Each crude is assumed to be represented by a
factor equal to its percentage of the crude slate times its yield of the
specified feed stream. The hydrocracker has one cluster-specific stream,
H?S, which accumulates all feed sulfur not contained in the unit's liquid
output streams. Feed to the hydrocracker is assumed to be heavy gas oil
(500-650°F). Table J-50 shows assumed feed sulfur levels for the cataly-
tic cracker, visbreaker/coker and hydrocracker. Table J-51 distributes
this feed sulfur among the process output streams and lists the stream
qualities and output of H,S and SO .
£* X
The cluster models allow greater flexibility in feed streams to the
conversion units than the assumed feeds discussed above. Each unit takes
in hydrocarbons within the specified boiling range yet is not limited to
J-3
-------
either a fixed ratio of crudes in straight-run streams nor to straight-
run streams alone. This feed flexibility and the necessity of assuming
feed sulfur in order to set product sulfur levels is a potential source
of error in the sulfur balance around each conversion unit.
3. Miscellaneous Streams
Miscellaneous streams are handled in a manner similiar to the crude-
specific streams, using yield data and stream qualities.
Densities used for refinery gas, BTX, olefins, coke and hydrogen are
shown in Table J-53.

ALTERNATE FOR REFINERY SO CONTROL STUDY
FLUE GAS DESULFURIZATJLON TECHNOLOGY
A. BACKGROUND
1. COMMERCIAL AND NEAR COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES
With the passage of the Clean Air Act of 1970, considerable effort has
been expended by the government and private .industry to develop reliable and
economical methods for removing S02 from the flue gases leaving stationary
combustion sources. Many techniques for chemically or physically capturing
the SO- have been studied and considerable effort is being expended to develop
commercially demonstrated processes. The number of S0~ removal processes currently
under development is indeed large. However, it is the intent of this study to
identify processes which will be commercially proven and available by 1980.
Ideally, this would mean the process would have been installed and operated on
at least 100 megawatts prior to this date. A list of the significant SO™ control
processes which have a reasonable chance of meeting these criteria is presented
in Table L-l. Included in the table is the current development status of each
process and an estimate of the earliest date for commercial availability. In

some cases, the process is presently considered commercialized on oil fired
sources. From this list of processes, five candidates were selected for de-
tailed evaluation.
2. INITIAL PROCESS SELECTION
The five processes selected for detailed' technical and economic
evaluation include:
1. Chiyoda Thoroughbred 101
2. Double Alkali Scrubbing
3. Magnesia Scrubbing
4. Shell Flue Gas Desulfurization
5. Wellman Lord/Davy Powergas Soda Scrubbing
Basic considerations in this selection were the method of sulfur removal,
degree of commercialization and form of by-product sulfur.
An attempt was made to cover a variety of S02 removal methods while still
*
retaining those processes with a high degree of commercialization. For example,
the Chiyoda process absorbent is weak sulfuric acid. Double alkali and Wellman-
Lord utilize the sulfite/bisulfite system in different concentration modes. MagOx
is a regenerably slurry scrubbing process and, finally, the Shell process represents
a dry adsorption process.
In regard to degree of commercialization, all of the above processes have
L-3
-------
either commercial plants in operation or U.S. demonstration plants planned.
Of the five, Chiyoda and Davy Powergas have the most commercial systems operating.
Sulfur product forms represented include throw-away waste salts, con-
centrated acid and elemental sulfur.

B. DETAILED EVALUATION OF SELECTION PROCESSES
1. BASIS
a^ Technical Assumptions
The scope of this study involves the comparison of in process feed and flue
gas desulfurization for controlling sulfur emissions from "typical" petroleum
refineries. In order to accomplish this objective in a generalized way, certain
assumptions were required to facilitate the development of flue gas desulfurization
economics. These assumptions and the identification of major sulfur emission
sources are presented below.
The major sources of refinery SO emissions are shown in Table L-2
along with typical gas conditions for these sources. A detailed breakdown of
these major sources together with approximate volumetric flow rates is presented
in Table L-3 for the typical refinery locations being studied. These flow rates
were determined xrom the fuel requirements for the various refinery units
assuming a gallon of fuel oil generates 2000 scf of flue gas.

t (
• 50°F of flue gas reheat required for "wet" processes.
• Existing refinery sulfur control assumed to include amine scrubbing
unit for sour gas recovery and two-stage Glaus unit with incineration.
• FCC regenerator off-gas assumed to have particulate control system
and CO boiler.
• Sulfur content of fuel to boilers and fired heaters assumed at 4.5 wt %.
• Plot area available for required flue gas desulfurization equipment.
• Flue gas ducting uneconomical for distances in excess of 2500 feet.
L-8
-------
• SO- concentration in FCC regenerator flue gas after CO boiler assumed
to be similar to that encountered with fossil fuel sources.
• Regeneration of spent absorbent and sulfur recovery system assumed
to be centrally located.
This last assumption was made to realize the economies of scale of one
large regeneration system as opposed to each scrubbing location having its own
regeneration system. However, there are some offsetting costs associated with
i
this concept since regenerated and spent absorbent must be transferred to and
from the central system. This requires extra piping and controls. Consequently,
an allowance for interfacing the stationary source scrubbers with the central
regeneration system was included in the capital investment estimates.
b_. Economic Assumptions
The development of capital investment requirements included the following
items:
• Other direct costs including site preparation, buildings and
service facilities at 10% of process directs.
• Engineering and contractor's fee at 22% of total direct costs.
• Owner's indirects including interest during construction, startup and
modifications at 15% of total direct plus engineering costs.
U-9
-------
For the preparation of the off-line economic analysis, various unit
costs were assumed. These unit costs are summarized in Table L-4. The unit
costs incorporated in the refining model, although not exactly these values,
are generally in agreement.
For the off-line comparison, maintenance was assumed at 4% of total
installed cost (TIC). Fixed cost, including depreciation, return on investment,
federal and local taxes and insurance were estimated at 20% of TIC.

2. CHIYQDA
a. Process Description
The Chiyoda Thoroughbred 101 process for control of SO emissions consists
^^
of absorbing the sulfur oxides from flue gases in a dilute (2-3%) solution of
sulfuric acid. The rich absorbent is then oxidized to produce sulfuric acid
from the sulfurous acid present. A portion of the sulfuric acid stream is
then reacted with limestone to produce a gypsum by-product.
A schematic process flow sheet for the Chiyoda process is shown in
Figure L-l. The flue gas enters a prescrubber where it is cooled to its
adiabatic saturation temperature by contacting with the recirculated water.
!
Most of the dust entering the prescrubber is removed upon contact with the
liquid which is filtered to remove the solid particles before being returned
to the prescrubber. The flue gas then passes to a rectangular, packed absorber
where the sulfur oxides are removed from the gas by a dilute sulfuric acid
liquor stream.
Much of the sulfurous acid formed by the absorption of S0~ in the aqueous
acid stream is oxidized to sulfuric acid in the presence of the ferric oxide
L-12
-------

-------
catalyst and the residual oxygen in the flue gas. The chemical reactions
taking place in the liquid phase in the absorber are:
2FeS04
The absorber effluent liquor passes to an oxidizer column which is a
tray tower designed to contact makeup air with the liquor to oxidize any remaining
sulfurous acid by the same reactions.
Some of the dilute sulfuric acid is then sent to a crystallizer where
it is reacted with limestone to produce gypsum by the equation:
CaC0
3 24
The gypsum slurry is then centrifuged and the wet gypsum product is removed
from the system. The centrate, or mother liquor, is then blended with the
remainder of the dilute sulfuric acid stream to redissolve any trace insoluble
calcium compounds before returning to the absorber system.
L-14
-------
A small purge stream of liquor may be required to keep solubles levels
in the system to a minimum. The rate of this purge stream is determined by
the rate at which these solubles may enter the system via particulate matter
in the flue gas stream or corrosion of the system materials.
kj Process Reliability
The Chiyoda Thoroughbred 101 process is commercially proven.' There are
presently 12 licensing agreements for the process in Japan, including -five plaints
which are commissioned and operating satisfactorily. The others are at various
stages of planning and construction. Of the five operating plants, two are on
oil-fired boilers, two are on Glaus sulfur plant tail gases and the other on a
combination of oil-fired boiler;,and Glaus sulfur plant tail gas. At present,
all the Chiyoda licensees are in Japan; consequently, the process has not been
commercially demonstrated in the United States. A demonstration plant with a
capacity equivalent to 23 megawatts is under construction and will be in operation
in Florida in the fall of 1974 to prove the applicability of the process to U.S.
L-15
-------
coals. The system will be operating on a utility boiler of Gulf Power Company.
c. Application to Refinery S0y Control
SO removal of up to 95% is possible with the Chiyoda Thoroughbred 101
process. Particulate removal to very low levels is also possible with the
liquid to gas ratios used in the prescrubber and absorber. High dust loadings
in the feed gas, however, have the undesirable effect of increasing the
possibility of pluggage in the packed absorber and increasing solubles levels
in the circulating liquor and consequently the,impurity level in the by-product
gypsum. Chiyoda therefore recommends that an electrostatic precipitator be
used for dust loadings in excess of one grain per standard cubic foot. Although
most refinery gases which must be treated for SO removal have relatively low
X
dust loadings which can approach one grain per standard cubic foot and higher.
Since, for the purposes of this study, electrostatic precipitators are assumed to
be installed downstream of the FCC regenerator regardless of which desulfurization
process is used, the Chiyoda process carries no economic penalty for requiring
a relatively low dust loading.
L-16
-------
The SO,, content of the flu-id catalytic cracker regeneration gases
should pose no problem for the Chiyoda process. The absorption of S0_ rather
than S02 is actually preferable as the next process step is to oxidize SO-
«
completely to SO- .
ch Capital and Operating Requirements
The capital cost for the gas treating portion of the Chiyoda process
is shown in TableL-5 for a gas handling capacity of 100,000 scfm (wet). For
the development of these costs, it was assumed that the scrubbing system would
be retrofitted to an existing stack and that there is sufficient area to locate
the scrubber so that no unusual structural problems would be encountered.
The estimated annual operating requirements for the same gas handling
equipment are also shown in Table L-5. For the gas scrubbing system there is
little or no difference in capital or operating costs for various SO removal
A
efficiencies in the range of 75-95%. Therefore, within the accuracy of these
estimates, they can be considered appropriate for any removal efficiency in
this range.

Figure L-2 shows how the capital costs developed in Table L_5 for the
base case of 100,000 scfm are extended to the range 30,000 to 200,000 scfm.
Table L-6 shows the development of the capital costs and operating
requirements for the liquor side of the Chiyoda process for a liquor capacity
equivalent to an SO removal rate of 200 Ib-moles/hour. Figure L-3 shows the
X
extension of the capital cost data in Table L-6 to the range of 75 to 200 Ib-moles/hr.
The value of by-product gypsum in the U.S. is probably less than in Japan
because gypsum from natural sources is relatively plentiful and generally con-
sidered superior for plasterboard and Portland cement. However, since there
are potential markets for the synthetic gypsum, it cannot really be considered
a waste salt and the full penalty of landfill cost is also not appropriate.
Consequently, it was assumed the gypsum would be available to any seeker willing
to pay the hauling cost. Therefore, no product credit nor disposal cost was
assigned.
The power costs associated with operating a gypsum production system are
relatively insignificant when compared with the requirements for the gas side.

Therefore, no electric power figure is shown in the liquor side operating

The labor costs associated with operating the gas handling system are
minimal and are usually considered an extension of the boiler operation.
Therefore, operating labor costs are shown only for the operation of the gypsum
production system.
3. DUAL ALKALI AND WET LIME SCRUBBING
The economics for dual alkali and lime scrubbing systems are quite
similar. Therefore, capital and operating cost estimates were developed for
only the dual alkali process and are presented in that section as being
approximately typical (total cost basis) for both types of systems. A discussion
of lime scrubbing is presented in a separate section.
_a_- Process Description
In the dual alkali scrubbing process shown schematically in Figure L-4,
a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfite is used to absorb S07 in the

-------
scrubber system according to the equations:
2NaOH + S02 -»• Na2S03 4- H20
Na2S03 + S02 + H20 -»• 2NaHS03
The absorber effluent is reacted with lime in a controlled environment to
precipitate calcium sulfite and regenerate the sodium value (as sulfite)
which is recycled to the absorber. Some oxidation of sodium sulfite to
sodium sulf ate does occur in the absorber by the equation:
Na2S03 + 1/2 02 -»- Na2S04
and the lime must also.be reacted with sodium sulf ate to produce calcium
sulf ate and active sodium hydroxide. The regeneration equations are:
Ca(OH)2 ->• CaSO_ + 2NaOH
NaHS03 + Ca(OH)2 •*• CaS03 + NaOH
Na2SO, + Ca(OH)2 -> CaSO^ + 2NaOH
The solid calcium sulf ite/sulf ate salts are concentrated in the thickener
and dewatered on a vacuum filter to produce a waste cake containing 30 to 40%
moisture. The process requires a makeup stream of sodium carbonate (or sodium
hydroxide) to replace the sodium value lost in the wet solid waste.
L-25
-------
b. Process Reliability
The technology of sodium scrubbing to remove SO from flue gases has
Xi
been commercially demonstrated on once-through scrubbing systems. However,
regenerating the spent sodium back to an active species for reuse in Che
scrubber system introduces two problems which are not encountered in the
once-through sodium scrubbing scheme. These are: preventing the return of
both soluble and insoluble calcium salts to the scrubber .system in order to
minimize the potential scaling; and regenerating sodium sulfate (which,has
been formed in the scrubber circuit by absorption of SO. or by oxidation of
the sodium sulfite). If the sodium sulfate is not regenerated then it must
be purged from the system resulting in a liquid waste stream and higher sodium
makeup requirements.
These problems have largely been overcome on the pilot plant scale by
various researchers using different modes of operation. However, the proces.0
has not as yet been commercially demonstrated in the United States. Two dual
alkali systems are scheduled for startup in 1974.
L-26
-------
c. Application to Refinery SO Control
^™^^™"™'^"*'^^™*^™™—•"^^™"™"™"^"—^^™^"^"™~
The dual alkali scrubbing process is quite suitable for operation on
refinery flue gases. S02 removal in excess of 95% can be achieved with
capital and operating costs not much higher than for significantly lower
removal efficiencies.
The relatively low dust loadings in refinery flue gases can be readily
handled by the dual alkali system. Even the fluid catalytic cracker regeneration
gases, which have a dust loading of about one grain per standard cubic foot,
are relatively lightly loaded when compared with coal-fired boilers for which
many dual alkali systems have been proposed. Particulate matter, about 99% of
which can be removed from the flue gas in the scrubber system, remains in the
liquor as a slurry and is ultimately removed from the system by the vacuum
filter as a component in the waste sludge.
The presence of SO- in the fluid catalytic cracker regeneration gases
increases the concentration of SO * in the circulating scrubbing solution upon
absorption, thus aggravating the problem of sulfate regeneration described in
the next section. L-27
-------
d. Capital and Operating Requirements
The capital cost for the gas treating portion of the dual alkali system
is shown in Table L-7 for a gas handling capacity of 100,000 scfm (wet). For
the development of these costs, it was assumed that the scrubbing system would
be retrofitted to an existing stack and that there is sufficient area to locate
the scrubber so that no unusual structural problems would be encountered. The
estimated annual operating requirements for the flue gas treatment system are
also shown in Table L-7 There is little or no difference in capital or
operating costs for various SO removal efficiencies in the range 75-95%. There-
fore, these estimated operating requirements can be considered appropriate for
any removal efficiency in this range.
Figure L-5 shows how the capital costs developed in Table L-7 for the
base case of 100,000 scfm are extended to the range 30,000 to 200,000 scfm.
Table1'"8 shows the development of the capital costs and operating
requirements for the liquor side of the dual alkali system for a liquor capacity
equivalent to an SO removal rate of 200 Ib-moles/hr. Figure L-6 shows the
extension of the capital cost data in Table L-8 to the range of 75 to 200 Ib-moles/hr.

The power costs associated with operating a regeneration system are
relatively insignificant when compared with the requirements for the gas side.
Therefore, no electric power figure is shown in the liquor side operating
costs.
The labor costs associated with operating the gas handling system are
minimal and are usually considered an extension of the boiler operation. Therefore,
only operating labor is shown for the operation of the regeneration system.
Maintenance costs (at 4% of capital cost) are shown for both the gas and
liquor handling systems.
e> Wet Lime Scrubbing
(1) Process Description
In the wet lime scrubbing process, a lime slurry is contacted with the
flue gases in scrubbing equipment similar to that used in the dual alkali process
to form calcium sulfite by the following reaction:
Ca(OH)2 + S0£ -»• CaS03 + H20
The scrubber bottom slurry passes to a sludge dewatering system which consists
of a thickener and vacuum filter. Lime is added to the clarified water which in
L-33
-------
turn is recycled to the scrubber system. A schematic flow diagram of this
process is shown in Figure L-7.
Either lime or limestone may be used for SO,, scrubbing. Although the
materials cost for limestone is less than for lime, there is a combination of
technical advantages to using lime. The reactivity of natural limestone is
variable and unpredictable depending on where it is mined. Furthermore, smaller
stoichiometric quantities of lime are required for given SO removal requirements,
^^
For the purposes of this study, the use of lime only is considered.
(2) Process Reliability
The major question regarding theoperability of lime scrubbing systems
is the potential for scaling and plugging as a result of deposition of solids
on the surfaces of the scrubber due either to sticking of slurry solids or
crystallization of calcium sulfite or sulfate during the reaction of lime with
sox.
A second, but less important, problem is the erosion of process equip-
ment and piping which results from the circulation of slurry materials.

FIGURE L-7 DUAL ALKALI SCRUBBING WITH LIME REGENERATION
-------
Until recently no concensus had been reached regarding the optimal
operating mode for lime/limestone systems as the problems of scaling, plugging
and erosion always arose. However, since April 1973 the SO control system
(lime scrubbing) at Louisville Gas and Electric's Paddy's Run Station No. 6
in Kentucky has been operating satisfactorily with SO removal at about 90%
Jv
and no evidence of scaling, plugging or erosion. The plant operated for
periods up to twelve days. Of the several lime/limestone systems which have
been operated, Paddy's Run appears to offer the most encouragement for the
potential long-range operation of a wet lime scrubbing system.
(3) Applicability to Refinery SO Control
•~™™^^™™"1 "~ ^^
Despite some claims of up to 98% SO- removal capability with lime
scrubbing, the ability to maintain such high removal rates for extended period
of operation has not been demonstrated and is still questionable.
Since the scrubber system is designed to handle a slurry, dust loads
characteristic oi refinery flue gases including fluid catalytic cracker
regeneration gas would be expected to pose no problem. These solids would be
removed from the system along with the by-product waste sludge.
L-36
-------
The major question regarding the operability of lime scrubbing systems
is the potential for scaling and plugging of the scrubber system. The process
has been piloted by many people and there has been no concensus as to the
optimum operation.
It is anticipated that in a refinery, several gas treating units
4f
(scrubbers) will be located near the emissions sources and the sulfur-rich
liquor would be piped to a common liquor handling or treatment facility. Since
slurries must be transported'between the gas-treatment and liquor handling
systems to and from the scrubbers, a serious turndown problem arises. The
solids must be maintained in suspension by keeping a minimum velocity in
slurry pipelines. However, when several scrubbers are down, the flow through the
header will decrease below this minimum. Therefore, an additional flow, must
be circulated and another pipeline must be provided to carry the extra flow
back to the liquor system. This results in extra power consumption for pumping
and additional capital investment for installation of long pipelines. Further-
more, the main headers must be larger than would otherwise be necessary because
they must carry the recirculating slurry in addition to the primary flow.
L-37
-------
SO, in the fluid catalytic cracker regeneration gases will result in
a waste solid relatively rich in calcium sulfate which is no less environmentally
acceptable. Process-wise, higher sulfate levels in the scrubber circuit are
of no concern.
4. MAGNESIA SCRUBBING
a. Process Description
The MagOx process, developed by Chemical Construction Company and Basic
Chemicals, removes sulfur oxides from flue gases by scrubbing with a recirculating
slurry consisting of magnesia crystals and some insoluble particulates. Better
than 90% removal efficiency of S02 has been demonstrated at Boston Edison using
(8)
this process. The major by-product of the magnesium oxide scrubbing process
is a dilute (12-16%) S0? gas stream which is usually converted into sulfuric acid.
The overall process is divided into the following operations:
1. S0_ absorption
2. Slurry processing
a. Contamination control
b. Hydrate conversion
3. Dewatering

The manufacture of sulfuric acid is well known technology; therefore, this
process is not described in detail. It is, however, included in the process

(1) S02 Absorption
The flue gas enters the venturi absorber as shown in Figure I..-8. There
it is contacted counter-currently with the recycled slurry containing magnesium
oxide (MgO), magnesium sulfite (MgSO-) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO,). The slurry
also contains particulates. As shown in the process chemistry, sulfur dioxide
is absorbed into the slurry by magnesium oxide to form magnesium sulfite and some

-------
magnesium bisulfite. To a lesser degree, other reactions occur between the
flue gas and the magnesium compounds in the recycled slurry, including reactions
producing magnesium sulfate.
(2) Slurry Processing
The slurry processing operation can be subdivided into two stages:
contamination control and hydrate conversion.
Contamination Control
When this process is applied to oil-fired sources which generate a
low particulate flue gas (0.0228 gr/scfd was measured at the Boston Edison
(8)
pilot plant based on #6 fuel oil) , separate particulate removal is not
required. On coal-fired sources, separate particulate scrubber and ash pond
or electrostatic precipitators are employed to reduce the particulate loading
before the flue gas enters the absorber. Even with oil-fired systems, there
will be some buildup of insoluble particulates and soluble contaminant in. the
system. Some means of purging the system of these solids must be provided.
With oil firing, the buildup of insolubles is small since there are unavoidable
losses of both particulates and magnesium solids in the process of drying, cal-
L-42
-------
cining and conveying solids within the plant.
However, because of the regenerative and cyclic nature of the magnesium
oxide scrubbing process, it is necessary to minimize the amount of contaminants
which build up in the sulfur dioxide scrubbing loop.
Both soluble and insoluble impurities build up in the sulfur dioxide
scrubber loop. Soluble impurities enter the system in the makeup water,
principally, and to a lesser degree with makeup MgO. The major soluble con-
taminants expected are calcium oxide (CaO), sulfate ion (SO, ) and chloride
ion (Cl~).
The major source of insoluble contaminants is fly ash. For flue gas
from oil-fired units, the rate of fly ash addition is low. Even so, the fly
ash mass rate of addition to the scrubber loop is greater than the addition
rate of soluble contaminants by a factor of about 200 for oil-fired sources.
One method of contamination control is to react a purge stream from the
recirculating slurry with sulfur dioxide in a solubilizing tank. Here the magnesium
i
compounds of sulfite and sulfate would be solubilized followed by filtration to
remove fly ash as a cake. The magnesium compounds in the filtrate can be
L-43
-------
precipitated by adding MgO to the filtrate in a separate reaction vessel. By
filtration, the magnesium solids can be recovered and returned to the system,
with the contaminated filtrate discarded to an evaporation pond.
Hydrate Conversion
Reported pilot plant data for MgO slurry scrubbing indicate that
MgSO -3H_0 can be obtained from the hexahydrate by thermal conversion. In
J £*
the process flow diagram, the particular sequence of size screening, thermal
conversion, dewatering and drying was chosen because:
1. Crystals of the hexahydrate require more heat for drying than
crystals of the trihydrate.
2. Trihydrate crystals are smaller than hexahydrate crystals and
are more difficult to dewater.
3. Net heat savings can result from thermally converting crystals
in a thickened slurry before drying. Thickened slurries have
the fastest conversion rates and require less sensible heat.
L-44
-------
Returning to Figure L-8, a bleed stream of the absorbent slurry is with-
drawn for regeneration of magnesium sulfite and magnesium sulfate to magnesium
- \ !.
ojd.de. To separate the larger magnesium sulfate hexahydrate crystals in a
thickened slurry, wet screens are utilized, The return stream to the scrubber
loop consists of a dilute slurry containing the smaller crystals. These smaller
crystals can serve as nuclei fpr further crystal growth in the scrubber loop.
A thickened slurry of about 40% solids from the wet screens is fed to a thermal
conversion tank where heat £s sidded to conyerif JlgSO -6H 0 to MgSO -3HLO.
(3j Dewatering
The slurry stream from the thermal conversion tank containing the
hydrated magnesium crystals, both as a slurry and as a saturated solution, is
discharged to a continuous centrifuge. There, partial dewatering produces a
cake containing a mixture of crystals of MgS03'3H2Q, MgS03-6H20, MgS04'7H20 and
unreacted MgO. Hovever, during the thermal conversion treatment, most of the
sulfite crystals convert to the trihydrate form. The clear, saturated, centrate
liquor is returned to the main recireulating slurry line. The solids cake,
containing about 15% water, is conveyed to a fluid bed dryer.
L-45
-------
lit! Drying
In a separate combustion chamber, fuel oil is burned with a minimum of
excess air and fed to a fluid bed dryer. By direct contact the drying gas
vaporizes both the bound moisture (water of hydration) and the remaining free.
moisture in the solids feed under non-oxidizing conditions to give an essentially
anhydrous solids product (less than 3% moisture). About one-third of the total
exhaust, gas from the dryer is recycled to the combustion chamber to minimize
heat losses and to increase the superficial gas velocity in the dryer.
The flue gas from the dryer contains particles of magnesium and fly ash
which must be removed before being sent to the stack. For the exhaust temper:tui
of 400°F, a cyclone and bag filter combination can be used to return these
crystals co the dryer product conveyor. The cleaned dryer flue gas is combined
with the outlet flue gas from the SO- absorber.
JjJ? Calcining
The crystals from the dryer are fed via conveyor to a fluid bed calciner
where chey ar^ contacted with a hot flue gas to regenerated MgO, The flue ga,
is generated by direct combustion of fuel oil with 5% excess air MgS00 is
L-46
-------
converted directly to MgO, and MgSO, is converted to MgO by feeding coke to the
calciner along with the dried crystal feed. Typically, calciner feed crystals
contain 5-10% MgSO,, the remainder being essentially all MgSO,..
Off-gas from the calciner contains 12-16% SCL by volume which is
liberated from MgO regeneration. The S0_-rich flue gas from the calciner is
sent to the sulfuric acid plant where 98% H-SO, is made. (Production of 98%
concentrated sulfuric acid was chosen for this process.)
the flue gas contains a significant amount of magnesium crystals which
must be collected. However, due to the high flue gas exit temperature of 1600°F,
a bag filter cannot be used without first cooling the flue gas. Therefore, a
T
hot cyclone is used primarily on the flue gas followed by a heat recovery unit
which lowers the flue gas temperature to 700°F. If instead the flue gas
temperature is lowered to the proper operating range for a bag filter of 425-500°F
at the heat recovery unit, there would be a chance of sulfuric acid mist con-
densation in the bag filter. Although this is only a remote chance, air is added
between the waste heat boiler and the bag filter to reduce the flue gas temperature
from 700°F to a temperature suitable for bag filter operation.
L-47
-------
Slurry Makeup
The regenerated MgO crystals from the calciner are conveyed to a-makeup
tank where they are re-slurried along with fresh MgO makeup crystals which are
added to replace miscellaneous magnesium losses throughout the system. A bleed
stream of recycle slurry from the venturi scrubber loop is used as liquor in
the makeup tank and the new slurry is returned to the absorption system.
(J) _ Sulfuric Acid Production
Most of the more recent sulfuric acid plant designs utilize the contact
process in which the following sequence takes place:
a. The generation of a sulfur-dioxide-rich gas from an appropriate
raw material.
b. Cooling, purification and drying of the gas.
c. Reheating of the gas to the proper temperature for conversion
to sulfur trioxide (SO,).
d. Catalytic oxidation of SO- to SO.,.
e. Cooling of the SO--containing gas.
f. Production of sulfuric acid by absorption of SO in concentrated
sulfuric acid.
The hot fJue gas from the calciner is fed to the sulfuric acid plant after
cleansing by the bag filter. Utilizing a bag filter to clean the flue gas instead
of a wet scrubber is referred to as a "dry" system in the sulfuric acid production
process. One advantage of the dry system is that it cleans the calciner off-gas
L-48
-------
without lowering its temperature. This reduces the amount of reheat necessary
to increase the flue gas temperature to 830°F as required by the converter in
the sulfuric acid process. A second advantage is that the moisture content of
the feed gas must be below the mole ratio of 1.11, HLOiSC^ required to make 98%
H-SO,. If the water content of the gas is below 4.4 wt. % (which corresponds to
the proper ratio of tLO to SO- for this flue gas), additional water can be added
at the sulfuric acid plant to insure the proper ratio. In a "dry" system this
is possible; in a "wet" system a more difficult water removal step would have to
be implemented in the sulfuric acid plant.
Air must be bled into an S02-containing flue gas stream before being fed
to a sulfuric acid unit to obtain an O-iSO- mole ratio of 1.4. This addition
t
lowers the S0? percent in the gas stream but it is necessary to obtain efficient
conversion of S02 to S0~. On this basis, the percent S02 in the flue gas from
the calciner is roughly 10% lower than the percent SO™ in the off-gas from a
conventional sulfur burner used to generate feed gas for the sulfuric acid process.
L-49
-------
Another problem that sulfuric acid plants must be concerned with is their
gaseous sulfur pollutants emitted into the atmosphere. EPA emission standards
for sulfuric acid plants allow a maximum of 4.0 lbs-|S02/ton and 0.15 i^SO.mist
per ton H2S04 emissions. This translates to a minimum of 99.7% required con-
version of inlet S02 to H^SO, in the sulfuric acid plant. By recycling tail
( i
gas from the sulfuric acid plant to the stack gas entering the venturi absorber,
i
an overall efficiency of the sulfuric acid process greater than 99.7% can be
obtained.
b. Process Reliability
Good operating results from actual tests that have been performed on the
magnesium oxide scrubbing process are minimal. To date, no commercial units have
been built utilizing this process, although large-scale demonstration units at
both utility plant and industrial sites have been operated. Our concensus, based
on available data, is that:
• The process is feasible.
• There are many variations of the process, giving it the flexibility
required to meet a wide variety of commercial needs.
L-50
-------
• All of the bugs' have not been worked out for any of these processes.
• The processes that have been attempted on a demonstration scale have
not incorporated the best possible technolpgy for some of the operations
characterizing the overall process.
• The economics of this process depend on the ability to utilize a
dilute (12-16%) byproduct gas stream of sulfur dioxide.
• More demonstration tests are being conducted to develop basic design
data and operating experience.
Development work on the magnesium oxide slurry scrubbing process has been
performed by Chemico-Basic companies and the Babcock & Wilcox Company in the
United States, Russia and Japan. In addition, the Grillo-Werke Company of the
United States has tested the magnesium oxide-manganese dioxide slurry scrubbing
variation of the process.
Although data are not available for filtration of hexahydrate crystals,
vendors indicate that a moisture content of 10-20% could be expected compared
with about 5% moisture after centrifugation.
In the venturi scrubbing and recycle loop section of this process, suitable
demonstrations have been made at a corresponding high degree of reliability.
Design provisions have to be made to prevent problems of corrosion and erosion
L-51
-------
associated with low pH slurry scrubbing. Also, spare pumps can be provided to
circumvent shutdowns and minimize problems due to possible slurry settling in
the lines. Proper wash facilities can be provided for slurry lines.
The slurry treatment process mentioned previously has not been demonstrated
in its entirety, although experts generally agree that this arrangement is
feasible. Chemico-Basic has shown satisfactory performance in centri-fuging
a magnesium sulfite hexahydrate slurry at their 150 megawatt demonstration
unit at the Boston Edison Company. Similar tests 'for the trihydrate crystals
have not been performed.
Pilot plant results have not been obtained for thermal conversion of
magnesium sulfite hexahydrate crystals to the trihydrate form. Kinetics indicate
that conversion should go rapidly and completely under proper conditions.
One area of slurry treatment that is lacking in data is treatment of a
bleed stream from the absorber loop for contamination control. The nature of
this problem and possible solutions have been described earlier in this section.
This could be a critical area for some variations of the magnesium scrubbing
process utilizing a high fly ash loading or a mineral-rich makeup water stream.
L-52
-------
Chemico-Basic has demonstrated rotary dryer performance where the feed
material was predominantly a magnesium sulfite hexahydrate cake. The dryer
product contained 3% moisture when operated within a temperature range of
600-800°F.7 Reports indicate considerable difficulties associated with the
co-current, rotary dryer operation. One type of problem is associated with the
excessive dust entrainment from the system. This problem was primarily due to
poor control of gas velocity through the dryer. The more serious problem
associated with the rotary dryer involved agglomeration of dryer feed cake and
insufficient drying within these masses. Downtime in the dryer was significant,
causing the dryer to be the bottleneck in the process. It has been suggested
that either a countercurrent dryer or a fluid bed dryer be utilized. The key
to making this process work would be to produce a uniform centrifuge cake with
low water content; to introduce the feed in a discrete, steady manner; to maintain
good control of the superficial gas velocity through the fluid bed; and to
incorporate a hignly efficient dust removal system.
L-53
-------
As in the drying operation, Chemico has also demonstrated rotary calciner
operation. Nearly complete conversion was obtained between 1600-2000°F with the
i
addition of coke. ^" It should be mentioned, however, that problems were
/
i
initially encountered in calcining the product magnesium oxide at excessive
temperatures. The product was burned and rendered inactive. Satisfactory
performance has been demonstrated in Japan with fluid bed calciners. These
results were obtained at 1800°F without the addition of reducing coke. The
process (e.g., lower temperatures) should proceed even better with the addition
of coke.
<-'• Application to Refinery SO Control
jL
There are few special provisions associated with the magnesium oxide
slurry scrubbing process that would be necessary for its adaptation to a refinery.
The amenability of this process to a refinery can be considered under three
categories:
a) Space Requirement of Process
b) Degree of Centralization of Process
c) Process Dependence on Flue Gas Composition
L-54
-------
At a refinery site there may be many sources of sizeable flue gas
emissions in need of sulfur controls. If it is impractical, infeasible or
impossible to duct two or more of these outlet flues to a common scrubber unit,
separate scrubbers would have to be installed at each flue gas source.
The amount of space required for the regeneration section of the magnesium
process would depend on the degree to which this process is centralized. If each
scrubber within the refinery has its own slurry treatment and calcination unit,
this case would represent the maximum space requirement. If one centralized
slurry treatment system, drying and calcination unit is utilized, this would
represent the best case with the minimum space requirement for this process.
The applicability of this process to a refinery would depend on the
refinery's ability to utilize the dilute sulfur dioxide byproduct gas stream.
The refinery would either have to be capable of selling the sulfur dioxide in the
gas stream to a neighboring plant producing a sulfur product, or it would have
to build its own sulfuric acid, elemental sulfur, or sulfur dioxide manufacturing
plant. The remaining alternative would be for the refinery to truck the dried
magnesium sulfite/sulfate crystals to a nearby sulfur-utilizing plant. A calcination
L-55
-------
unit for the liberation of the sulfur dioxide in a flue gas stream could be built
at this plant. Regenerated magnesium oxide crystals could then be trucked back
to the refinery for addition to the venturi scrubbers which would conceivably be
spread out over the refinery.
The applicability of the magnesium scrubbing process to a refinery will
also depend on the level of sulfur dioxide and particulates in the inlet flue gas.
There are no data to indicate that varied sulfur dioxide levels in the inlet flue
would be difficult to remove by magnesium oxide slurry scrubbing. If, however,
a high particulate loading exists in the inlet flue, as it would in the flue gas
from a coal-fired boiler or from a fluidized catalytic cracker unit (FCC),
then a separate particulate removal device would be necessary upstream of the
sulfur dioxide venturi absorber. Either an electrostatic precipitator or a
separate particulate scrubber (preferable) could be installed to remove the
particulates. If a wet scrubber is used, an ash pond would be necessary for the
particulate that is removed from the flue gas. If this were not feasible, it
would be necessary to provide for disposal of the fly ash.
L-56
-------
The potentially high concentrations of SO in FCC catalyst regenerator
gas would result in higher magnesium sulfate concentrations in the circulating
slurry. This is less of a problem with the magnesium system, since magnesium
sulfate can be regenerated to magnesium oxide as previously explained.
cL Capital and Operating Requirements
Estimated capital investment and operating requirements for the
Mag-Ox process are given in Tables L-9 and L-10. The first table presents
the costs associated with the scrubber section of the process and the second
table contains costs for the combined regeneration section and sulfuric acid
plant. Investment as a function of capacity for scrubbing and regeneration
is presented in Figures L-9 and L-10.
The operating requirements in Table L-9 do not take account of provisions
for slurry treatment for contamination control or for any specific type of
particulate removal devices. (Some particulates are removed by the venturi
absorber.) In addition, it is assumed that regeneration occurs on-site.
Fuel requirements are based on 50°F of flue gas reheat. This is in
addition to the temperature rise due to compression of the flue gas through
the induced draft fan downstream of the scrubber, and the temperature rise
due to dryer off-gas addition to the scrubber flue gas.

a. Process Description
The Shell flue gas desulfurization process is based on the reactivity of
sulfur oxides with CuO. Fixed bed reactors containing a dry acceptor consisting
of CuO-on-alumina are utilized for S0_ adsorbtion. In situ 'regeneration by
reducing gas is carried out at approximately the same temperature as S0_
capture. The process was developed by Shell International Petroleum Mij at
The Hague, Netherlands, and is licensed through Universal Oil Products Company.
The principal reaction between SO- in the flue gas and the copper activated
alumina adsorbent is:
SO- + 1/2 0. + CuO -> CuSO.
2. L k
The bulk of the accepted sulfur is released from the copper sulfate in the form
of S02 upon regeneration with reducing agents such as hydrogen or carbon monoxide.
With hydrogen, the overall regeneration reaction is
+ 2H + Cu + SO+ 2H0.
L-62
-------
In addition, any unreacted CuO is reduced to copper. Some Cu?S is also formed.
During the initial stages of the acceptance period, the Cu produced during
5*.
regeneration is oxidized according to the following reaction:
Cu + 1/2 02 -*• CuO.
In addition, the Cu«S present in the regenerated acceptor will oxidize as follows:
Cu0S + 2-1/2 Cu0 -»• CuO + CuSO.

which will give the acceptor a based load of sulfur.
These oxidation reactions are exothermic and cause a considerable amount
of heat to be released during the initial stages of the acceptance period.
This results in a temperature peak which quickly travels through the reactor.
The temperature peak is held below a predetermined level to protect the acceptor
against a gradual loss of activity resulting from the growth of copper crystallites
and possibly recrystallization of the active alumina. This is achieved by careful
choice of the acceptor's copper content and of the reactor operating conditions.
Some of the more important process requirements are:
• Reactor inlet temperature between 700-800°F.
L-63
-------
• Oxidizing conditions at the emission point to reactivate
the regenerated acceptor.
• A source of reducing gas, preferably hydrogen.
Process advantages include:
• No loss of thermal buoyancy in the treated gas.
• No waste products since the process is dry and SO^ is
recovered as elemental sulfur.
• Minimum process water requirements.
• Low operating labor.
A simplified process flow schematic is shown in Figure L-ll. Flue gas frpm
the boiler passes through a rotary-type heat exchanger and is preheated by
exchange with treated gas from the on-stream acceptor. Additional preheat is
supplied by an indirectly fired trim heater, which supplies about 60°F of preheat.
The 750°F flue gas passes vertically upwards through the on-stream reactor. The
reactor internals are of "parallel passage1* design with the acceptor contained
between layers of wire gauze with spaces provided between packages for flue gas
flow. With this design, the flue gas flows along the surface of the acceptor

packages and not through the acceptor material; thus plugging of the acceptor
by participates is avoided. The gas residence time in the thermal passages
is about one-third of a second.
For convenience in fabrication and handling, a number of layers of
acceptor packages appropriately spaced are placed 'in a container to form a
module. A given reactor contains several such modules depending on the through-
put and SO2 removal requirements.
The sulfur dioxide will be accepted until the loading of the acceptor
has proceeded to the point where the remaining unloaded acceptor at the exit
end of the reactor has become too small to insure complete S0~ removal. At
this point, S0» will start to slip through. When the cumulative slip of the
SO. reaches a value of 10% of the inlet concentration, purification of the gas
input stream will have dropped to 90% and generation of the reactor is required.
To regenerate the spent reactors, the flue gas stream is diverted to the
freshly regenerated reactor and reducing gas is simultaneously admitted to the
spent reactor. The switching of reactors is performed automatically with the
L-66
-------
use of sequential control valves, thereby reducing labor requirements. The
regeneration off-gas consisting of SCL, H-O and diluent leaves the reactor
and passes through a waste heat boiler before entering the quench column.
In the quench column, the regeneration gas is cooled and saturated before
entering the S0_ adsorber. In the adsorber, the regeneration gas is scrubbed
with water to remove SO^ before being vented, possibly to a fuel gas system.
The water is removed from the adsorber and steam stripped to obtain concentrated
S0_. The stripped water is returned to the top of the adsorber. The concen-
trated S0_ from the stripper can be sent to a contact unit to produce concen-
trated sulfuric acid or to a direct reduction process (Glaus unit) to produce
elemental sulfur.
In addition to the S02 product, the process has two other effluents.
One of these is the stripped regeneration off-gases which are vented or can be
returned to the boiler for recovery of combustion heat. The other stream is
excess stripped water produced during regeneration which contains some dissolved
SO . This purge stream can be sent to the boiler feed water treatment system
to reduce raw water requirements. -

j^ Process Reliability
Shell began development work on the SFGD process about ten years ago.
In order to prove the feasibility of the parallel passage reactor concept, a
demonstration unit was erected in 1967 in the Shell refinery at Pernis, The
Netherlands. The Pernis unit handled 600 scfm of flue gas containing 0.1-0.3
volume percent S02. The flue gas was isokinetically sampled from the main flue
gas duct of a furnace fired with high sulfur fuel oil. A total of about 20,000
hours of testing was accomplished on this unit. The results of these tests
convinced Shell that an acceptor based on a reinforced alumina support will
have stable activity in excess of 8000 cycles or about 1-1/2 years of service
life. The Pernis unit is still being used from time to time to test improved
versions of the Cu-on-alumina acceptor.
After four years of successful operation of the Pernis unit, a decision
was made to erect a full-scale unit at the Yokkaichi refinery of Showa Yokkaichi
Sekiyu (SYS), Japan. The SFGD unit for SYS is designed to effect 90% desulfurizatiou
L-68
-------
on 80,000 scfm (about 40 Mw), which is the combined flow of flue gas from an
oil-fired boiler and tail gas from a Claus unit, the aggregate flow containing
2500 ppm SCL* This unit was started up in the summer of 1973 and since then
has only treated flue gas from the boiler since operation of the Claus unit
has been discontinued for reasons not associated with the SFGD process. Based
on limited information, the process availability appears to have been satisfactory.
As indicated in the process flow schematic, the reactor beds are auto-
matically cycled from acceptor mode to regeneration mode by the use of sequential
timers and motor-activated butterfly valves. To prevent leakage of reducing gas
into the on-line reactor, special large, tight shut-off flue gas valves are
required. In addition, pressure surges caused by reactor switching can influence
boiler operation and are therefore undesirable. The effect of these surges is
minimized by the use of an "open bypass" which continuously recycles a small
(14)
quantity of treated flue gas. According to recent papers given at the AIChE
National Meeting in Tulsa, operations at SYS have confirmed the operability of
the sequential switching and bypass system.
L-69
-------
In using a fixed bed reactor for treatment of flue gas, one must
consider the potential plugging problem associated with gas-borne fly ash.
With the operation of the full-scale unit in Japan, this concern has been
removed for oil-fired sources, which generate particulate in the range of
0.02-0.12 gr/scf of flue gas. Furthermore, UOP indicate that a conservative
design figure for allowable, inlet dust loading of 0.1 grains/scf.
In regard to applying SFGD to coal-fired boilers, a dummy parallel
passage reactor was tested on a coal-fired boiler in The Netherlands to deter-
mine resistance to fouling by the unfiltered flue gas. No deposits were ob-
served during a five-day duration run. Currently, tests on a coal-fired boiler
are being performed at Tampa Electric with a single reactor containing a CuO
acceptor. The unit is pracessing a slipstream from TECO's Big Bend Unit No. 1.
The capacity of the unit is approximately three megawatts and is designed for a
cycle time of 60 minutes to achieve 90% desulfurization. The objective of these
tests is to demonstrate the applicability of this process to coal-fired sources.
L-70

±. Application to Refinery SO Control
""' "" """" " "" " A "
The SFGD process is particularly suited for SO control in a refinery
«•»
•t
because:
• It produces a concentrated S02 gas stream which can be combined
with the hydrogen sulfide from the amine unit and treated in a
conventional Claus sulfur plant.
• The operation of the system is highly automated and labor
requirements are minimal.
• The adsorbent accepts SO- and SO- equally well? consequently
the system can be applied to the fluid catalytic cracker
regenerator with no operating cost penalty.
As mentioned in an earlier section, the inlet temperature to the fixed
bed reactor must be about 750°F. A refinery furnace or process heater designed
to achieve reasonable thermal efficiency will normally have stack temperatures
in the range of 400-500°F. Consequently, in a retrofit situation, preheating of
the gas is required before entering the reactors. In order to minimize fuel
requirements, a rotating heat exchanger (Ljunjstrom) is utilized to recover the
heat in the treated gas by exchange with the incoming gas. A typical example of
L-71
-------
(15)
this arrangement is shown in Figure L-12. According to UOP , the inclusion
i i
of a heat exchange system increases the overall capital investment by about 15%.
In the refinery situation, supplying the required reducing gas is less
difficult than for a utility boiler since hydrogen must be produced for other
units within the refinery. Consequently, the cost of obtaining hydrogen can be
assumed as incremental capital and operating cost for a reforming unit.
A refinery complex contains an atmospheric crude separation unit, numerous
processing units and usually a central boiler facility, all of which contain
stationary emission sources. In applying the Shell process to a typical refinery
layout, it was assumed that several fixed bed acceptors would be located within
the refinery to accept flue gas from several nearby emission sources.
The alternative of placing individual reactors on each source becomes prohibitively
expensive since the major capital investment for this process is in the acceptor
section. The reducing gas is heated in a central location and distributed to
the various acceptors. Regeneration gas from the acceptors is treated in a
central absorption/stripping unit and the concentrated sulfur dioxide stream

iL Capital and Operating Requirements
i ,
Typical capital investment costs for the acceptor section of a Shell flue
i
gas desulfurization unit are shown in Table L-ll. The estimated costs are based
on a treatment capacity of 200,000 scfm and an SO- removal efficiency of 90%.
Because the 'major portion of the capital investment for this process is associated
with the acceptor system, a larger basic module size was used. This approach
results in a savings in capital investment which more than pays for the additional
duct work necessary for collection of the flue gas. Furthermore, the cost of a
rotary-type heat exchanger was included to reduce annual fuel consumption required
for preheat of the flue gases. Figure L-13 presents the capital costs for systems
ranging in size from 30,000 scfm to 200,000 scfm.
Generalized costs for an S0? recovery and reduction unit were developed and
are shown in Table L-12. The cost estimates are based on an S0~ recovery rate of
200 Ib-mols/hr or approximately 25,000 tons of elemental sulfur per year. In

developing the capital investment costs, it was assumed that a central SO-
recovery system would be located in the vicinity of the refinery sulfur plant
(Glaus unit). This requires a main regeneration gas header to and from the
various acceptor reactors within the refinery complex. An allowance for inter-
facing the SO- recovery system with the acceptors has been included to account
for this extra piping.
The concentrated SO- produced in the recovery section is combined with
a portion of the refinery sour gas (H2S) to obtain the proper stoichiometric
ratio required for reduction to elemental sulfur in a conventional Claus unit.
Included in the cost estimate is the investment required for a 77 ton/day sulfur
plant including tail gas cleanup.
Estimated annual operating requirements for the recovery/reduction system
are also presented in Table L—12 . As can be seen, reducing gas and stripping
steam represent the major utility items. Included with the operating requirements
is a composite cost figure for the Claus plant variable costs shown in Figure L-1A.

6. WELLMAN-LORD
a. Process Description
The Wellman-Lord process is a sodium solution scrubbing system based upon
a sulfite/bisulfite/S02 cycle. Sodium sulfite acts as the SCK absorbent
and the spent sulfite liquor is thermally regenerated producing an S02-rich gas
which can be further processed to either sulfuric acid or elemental sulfur.
The overall system operation can be generally characterized by the following
two reactions:
Absorption: S02 + Na^O, + H2<) •*• 2NaHSO_
Regeneration: 2NaHSO_ •> Na0SO, + SO.t + H.O
3 A 2 3 2 2
The Wellman-Lord technology takes advantage of the relative solubilities
and equilibrium S02 vapor pressures of the two sodium salts. Sodium bisulfite
has almost twice the solubility of sodium sulfite in the temperature range of
the process. It is, therefore, possible to feed a solution to the absorption
tower which is nearly saturated in sodium sulfite, since the solution composi-
tion is shifted in the direction of increasing solubility as SO- is absorbed.
L-80
-------
This same solubility effect aids, in a reverse fashion, in the regeneration
I
section. As SO^ is evolved from the concentrated solution of sodium bisulfite,
the sulfite salt is formed and rapidly reaches its solubility limit. The
resultant precipitation of sodium sulfite helps to drive the regeneration
reaction to the desired degree of completion with a minimum heat requirement.
Figure!-15 shows a flow schematic of the general process configuration
for the Wellman-Lord SO- recovery system. In most applications there will be
four processing steps in the recovery system—flue gas pretreatment, SO- absorption,
absorbent regeneration, and purge treatment.
(1) Gas Pretreatment
The S0? absorber is usually designed to receive a saturated flue gas at
100~150°F which is free from particulate. Since the system operation is very
sensitive to the buildup of contaminants, fly ash and other impurities in the
gas must be removed or destroyed prior to contacting the SO,, absorbent liquor.
In the case of coal-fired boiler applications, pretreatment would involve fly
\
ash removal using a high efficiency electrostatic precipitator followed by

-------
wet scrubbing to saturate the gas. The prescrubber not only cools the gas,
but also ensures continued operation in the event of a failure of the electro-
static precipitator. In addition, it removes some small amount of fly ash
(depending upon the particulate load and size distribution) as well as soluble
fly ash components which could build up as impurities in the absorbent solution.
The wet scrubber most commonly specified is a low pressure drop venturi
(AP = 4-6" HLO) . No absorbent is added to this cooling system, only fresh
f
makeup water at a rate equivalent to the rate of water evaporation plus the
liquor bleed rate. This liquor bleed, which is usually small (on the order
of 50 gpm for a 400 MW system) can be returned to the prescrubber if it is
relatively free from impurities. Otherwise, it must be neutralized (the bleed
liquor pH is 1.5-2.0) and treated to meet local water pollution codes i-f it
is to be discharged. The bleed rate is determined by the level of insoluble
solids (<5 wt %) and the calcium concentration (to prevent CaSO^ precipitation).
For applications to Glaus plant tail gases it may be necessary to incinerate
the gas to destroy H^S, COS and CS2 prior to S02 absorption. This incineration
L-83
-------
step is always followed by gas cooling via saturation with water. In other
applications, such as oil-fired boilers, flue gas pretreatment may not be
required because the flue gases are relatively "clean". However, provisions
are usually made for gas prescrubbing prior to SO- absorption. This reduces
the possibility of local precipitation of sulfite salts in the scrubber—a
precipitation which could occur relatively easily if SO- inlet levels were to
i
drop suddenly (this would decrease the amount of bisulfite formed, while
water evaporation rates remain unchanged). In these applications (and even
in some applications where pretreatment is used) in-line filters in the spent
liquor stream are used to maintain insoluble contaminants at low levels.
(2) S02 Absorption
Following the prescrubber the gas passes through a de-entrainment separator
and a mist eliminator to minimize the mixing of prescrubbing liquor with
absorbent solution. The S02-rich gas is then contacted in a counter-current
absorption tower with a concentrated solution of sodium sulfite and bisulfite
(generally sodium concentrations are on the order of 6.0M Na ). In the
L-84
-------
absorber, sodium sulfite is reacted with SO to form sodium bisulfite:
S02 + Na2S03 + H20 £ 2NaHSO
Sodium sulfate, which is nonregenerable, is also formed in the absorber both
by the oxidation of sodium sulfite and be reaction of sodium sulfite and sulfur
trioxide from the flue gas:
Na2S02 + 1/2 02 •*• Na2S04
2Na.,SO, + SO- + H_0 ->• NaHSO- 4- Na0SO.
i J 32 3 24
The resultant sulfate levels are controlled at a level of about 5 wt. % in
the absorber feed stream by maintaining a. continuous system purge.
The absorber itself is a multi-stage contacting device, such as a tray
tower, with from three to six stages depending upon the required S02 removal.
Liquor is recycled around each stage separately because the feed solution
rate is generally not sufficient to adequately wet the trays (or packing).
The largest absorption unit being will handle the flue gas from a 150-200 MW
boiler.
Spent liquor bled from the recirculation leg on the bottom stage is
L-85
-------
discharged to a surge tank and then pumped to the regeneration system. Consider-
able surge capacity is provided for the absorbent feed as well as the spent
liquor. This surge capacity ensures smooth operation during periods of
fluctuating gas conditions and also provides for temporary shutdowns of the
regeneration section.
(3) Absorbent Regeneration
The regeneration system basically consists of a conventional forced-
circulation evaporator/crystallizer operated at a high internal recirculation
rate. The evaporator can be designed to use low pressure steam (such as
exhaust steam which might otherwise be discharged) although it is preferable
i
to use high pressure steam; and the evaporator can also be either a single
stage or multi-effect design (multi-effect is the usual type). A multi-effect
configuration improves performance and can considerably reduce steam consumption.
Multi-effect evaporators are used in the Japanese systems, however, in the
United States, m'tlti-effect evaporators require a considerably higher capital
investment, so single effect evaporators are usually specified for small
systems (less than about 150 MW). The largest evaporator now being designed
L-86
-------
is about 20 feet in diameter.
The primary reaction occurring in the regeneration system involves the
conversion of sodium bisulfite to gaseous S02 and sodium sulfite, some of which
precipitates as crystalline sodium sulfite:
2NaHS03 ->- Na2S034- + S02* + HjO
There are, however, side reactions which produce byproducts which contaminate
the liquor. These byproducts consist primarily of sodium sulfate, but also
include some thiosulfate, thionate, and possibly elemental sulfur. It is
not known whether the exact mechanism and kinetics of these side reactions
is well defined, however, at least enough data has been compiled to guide
the system design to reduce these undesirable byproducts.
*
The vapor leaving the evaporator is subjected to one or more stages of
partial condensation to remove water. Existing plants are operating on both
air and water-cooled condensers. To some extent, the degree of dewatering
can be adjusted to provide any quality of S02 gas which is required for
further processing (less than 10% water is easily achieved). The water obtained
L-87
-------
from this condensation is recycled to a dissolution tank and combined with the
regenerated absorbent liquor.
(4) System Purge & Makeup
A continuous system purge must be maintained to prevent a buildup of
contaminants in the system liquor. Possible contaminant sources include not
only all byproduct formation in the system (Na-SO,, Na2S20_, S, etc.) but
also all soluble and insoluble contaminants picked up from the flue gas and
process makeup water. The most significant contaminant is sulfate. Since
sulfate cannot be thermally regenerated it must be purged from the system
in some type of bleed stream. This purge also removes other contaminants
from the system, however the purge rate will normally be determined by the
amount of sulfate formed. The effect of this purge requirement will be directly
translated into process economics—in the capital investment for the purge
treatment facility arid the operating costs associated with the makeup sodium
and purge disposal. Because these costs can be substantial and because process
acceptability may be evaluated in terms of lost sodium value and waste dis-
L-88
-------
posability, a considerable process development effort has been expended in
determining the various factors governing the rates of sulfate formation and
developing methods for minimizing both sulfate formation and the attendant
sodium losses in the required purge.
The majority of the sulfate is formed in the absorption system both from
sulfite oxidation and from absorption of sulfur trioxide. To some degree
the high solution concentrations used in the Wellman-Lord system tend to
i
reduce the sulfite oxidation because oxygen solubility is greatly reduced at
high solution concentrations. However, work is being directed toward further
reducing oxidation by introducing anti-oxidants into the system.
In systems now in operation the purge stream is taken from the regenerated
absorbent solution. This liquor must be treated to meet local water pollution
codes which as a minimum would include neutralization and oxidation to eliminate
COD. An alternative purge treatment approach which is under development in-
volves crystallizing Glauber's salt from the regenerated liquor followed by
filtration and drying to produce a relatively pure solid sulfate byproduct
L-89
-------
(about 90% Na^SO, by weight). This purge treatment system will be incorporated
into the NIPSCO installation that is now under construction.
In most cases the purge has amounted to about 10% of the absorbed sulfur
value (the reported range in operating plants has been 5-20%), but it is
expected that anti-oxidants will reduce this by 50%. Caustic or soda ash
must be added to replace the sodium value lost in this purge stream. A purge
containing 10% of the absorbed sulfur value tied up as sodium salts corresponds
to a sodium makeup equivalent to 0.25 Ibs. NaOH or 0.33 Ibs. NaCO_ per Ib. S
absorbed (0.14 Ibs. NaOH or 0.18 Ibs. Na2CO_ per Ib. SO- recovered).
A research effort is currently being funded to develop a more sophisticated
purge treatment (sulfate regeneration) system; however, no commercial approaches
have yet been demonstrated. Most of this work is being conducted in Sweden.
As previously described, they are now treating the absorption system
purge to produce solid, relatively pure sodium sulfate. The treatment and
disposal of the purge from the gas prescrubbers has depended upon the particular
type of application and system site. Where it cannot be mixed with sluiced
L-90
-------
ash, it must be neutralized and clarified and disposed of in an environ-
mentally acceptable manner. Depending upon local water pollution codes,
this could involve to be a troublesome and expensive treatment process.
jb. Process Reliability
The Wellman-Lord process is a fully developed SO™ control system for
certain applications as evidenced by the number of commercial installations
now in operation in the United States and Japan. In addition to the installations
currently operating, shown in Table L-13, there are about a dozen systems
either in the planning stage or presently under construction. To date most
applications of this technology have been to either sulfuric acid or Glaus plants
and almost all have involved the conversion of the recovered SO- to sulfuric
acid. There are, however, two systems in operation on oil-fired boilers in
Japan and a retrofit system at Northern Indiana Public Service Company's (NIPSCO)
coal-fired power plant in Gary, Indiana is due to start up in mid-1975. In
addition, Davy Power Gas has recently been awarded the contract for a system
on the San Juan plant of Public Service of New Mexico. The NIPSCO system

The reliability of the Davy Power Gas/Wellman-Lord technology is indicated
by the operating records of the installation at the Chuba plant of the Japan
Synthetic Rubber Company. This system has operated from June, 1971 to March,
1973 with an on-stream factor of 97%, and from May 9, 1972 to March 1, 1973
with an on-stream factor of 100%. These stream factors refer to the scrubber
circuit operation. Over this period the system has also achieved better than
90% SO- removal and has converted the recovered SO- to high quality sulfuric
acid.
The major concern with the process operation has been the removal of
contaminants and purge treatment and disposal, see attached.
Although difficulties in the evaporator/crystallizer operation have been
few, the scrubber system operation is still protected by the considerable surge
capacity (up to four days). This capacity also allows for continued absorp-
tion system operation during periods of routine system maintenance and when
L-93
-------
in-line suspended solids filters (if used) are being cleaned or replaced. The
surge capacity also allows for the installation of a reasonable regeneration
system size. The scrubber system itself requires no specia|, bacjc-up provi-
sions since this is well-developed and proven operation whiqh f}pes not involve
slurry handling.
c_. Applicability to Refinery SO Control
^%i
The Wellman-Lord technology has several features that make it an attrac-
tive system for application to refinery SO emissions control problems.
JC
Specifically, these process features include:
• high SO- removal capability (>95%);
• low-scale potential in the scrubber system;
• ability to separate the scrubber system operation from
the regeneration section, which allows the use of a centrally
located regeneration facility serving a number of different
scrubbers;
• generation of an SO- rich gas as the recovery system product
that can be further processed in.a Glaus-type facility at the
refinery; and
• high scrubber system stream factors due to the inclusion of
surge capacity to cover regeneration system down time.
L-94
-------
The Wellman-Lord process, though, also suffers from a number of inherent system
limitations and potential operational disadvantages some of which may prove
to be significant in a refinery application, these are:
• sensitivity of the system operation to the buildup of
contaminants—this could be a major problem in scrubbing
off-gases containing high SO and 0 levels or particulate
loadings, conditions which may exist in the fluid cat-cracker
flue gas (the Wellman-Lord system may not be a viable scrubber
system for the fluid cat-cracker due to the potentially high
SO levels).
• the high saturation temperature of the recirculating liquid
may require heat tracing of lines, particularly where the
regeneration system is located some distance from the scrubbers;
• the scrubbed gas must be reheated to prevent plume formation;
a
and
• the necessity of handling and disposing of a sizeable
waste stream of soluble salts.
In general the Wellman-Lord process appears to be an appropriate control system
for application lo almost all refinery S02 emissions control problems. How
ever, consideration must be given to the manner in which the system purge
would be handled. There is also some uncertainty, regarding the suitability
L-95
-------
of the process for scrubbing the off-gases from the fluid cat-cracker units.
The applicability to these units must be evaluated on an individual basis taking
into consideration specific flue gas conditions, particularly S0_ concentrations
and particulate removal provisions.
d_.Capital and Operating Requirements
Scrubber System
Generalized costs have been estimated for installing and operating an S09
absorption system utilizing the Wellman-Lord technology. Table L-14 lists
the capital investment (on an installed module basis) and operating cost break-
down for a unit treating 100,000 scfm of flue gas. Figure L-16 provides correl-
ations of capital costs for systems ranging in size from 30,000 scfm to 200,000
scfm.
In developing these costs it has been assumed that gas precooling would
be accomplished in a separate tower and that the unit is designed for 90% SO
removal (there is only a slight cost advantagt for lower removal efficiencies).
It has also been assumed that the scrubber system would be erected at ground

(2) Regeneration System
Cost estimates have been prepared for the thermal regeneration system
on an installed module basis.
• The regeneration system would be a centrally located facility capable
treating the effluent from all the refinery scrubbers. Table L-14
provides the costs for a system to recover 200 Ib. moles/hf. SO..
Figure L-17 shows capital and operating costs as a function of system
size.
• It has been assumed that the purge treatment section would be
similar to that for the NIPSCO installation and would produce a
fairly pure Na_SO,. Allowance has also been provided for
scrubber and regeneration system interfacing. This includes heated
surge tanks with a one day storage based upon regeneration
system capacity and a piping (heat traced) and control system.
It has been assumed that the recovered S02 would be compressed
and sent to a centralized Glaus plant. The regeneration system
cost-- include the S02-rich gas compressors, but not the duct
work.

.C. OFF-LINE COMPARATIVE ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
As part of the process evaluation, annual operating costs for each of
the five processes were developed. This economic evaluation was performed without
the use of the refinery LP model and is hence referred to as an off-line analysis.
However, to make the exercise meaningful, a basis was selected that would approximate
the actual application to refinery sources. This was accomplished by determining
capital investment requirements for each process based on six gas treatment systems
i
of 100,000 scfm each and a central regeneration system with a capacity to handle
the combined SO. removed by the six scrubbers or acceptors. The sulfur removal
rate for this model is equivalent to 77 tons/day of elemental sulfur. This is
nearly equivalent to the degree of removal required to attain 90% desulfurization
of the flue gas from a 150 BPD refinery.
The results of this annual cost comparison are summarized in Table L-15.
For those processes which generate concentrated S02 as the primary product, the
investment required to convert S02 to a more convenient final product has been
included.

For example, the cost of a sulfuric acid plant is included for the MagOx process
and the investment for additional Glaus plant capacity is abided for the Shell/UOP
and Davy Powergas processes.
The dollar per kilowatt equivalent of these estimates is shown in the
table and are compared with typical values from other sources. 2' The estimates
of this study are understandably in the high end of the range due to the complexity
of interfacing this technology with typical refinery operations.
The annual operating costs for each process are also developed in Table L-15.
Variable and semi-variable costs such as utilities, operating labor, catalyst and
chemicals, and waste disposal are based on the individual process operating require-
ments presented in Section B. Maintenance and fixed charges are also included at
4% and 20% of total installed cost respectively. An important assumption made in
determining the operating costs was that salable products such as gypsum, sulfuric
acid, calcium sulfite and sulfur have zero market value and zero disposal costs.
The zero product value assumption was made due to the prevailing uncertainties
regarding the market for these products. However, it is conceivable that a firm
L-103
-------
might; pay freight rates to obtain this material, thus alleviating a disposal
problem for the producers. In the case of a throw-away process, disposal costs
were set at $5/ton.
Based on this evaluation, the processes fell into two operating cost
ranges. In the low range are the dual alkali and MagOx processes. Chiyoda,
Davy Powergas and Shell occupy the high end of the spectrum. The most notice-
able difference between the members of these two tiers is the degree of com-
mercial application, which is undoubtedly reflected in the estimated annual
cost. In general, annual costs tend to increase as processes near full com-
mercialization .
The Wellman-Lord/Davy Powergas soda scrubbing process was selected to
typify the economics associated with flue gas desulfurization in the refinery
LP model. The reason for selecting this process is that it has been commer-
cially applied in refineries in the United States and Japan and consequently
the operating costs should be realistic. Furthermore, these costs are
competitive with other processes exhibiting the same or similar degree of
commercialization (i.e., Shell/UOP and Chiyoda). Finally, the process is
L-104
-------
compatible with existing refinery sulfur recovery processes which would make
it attractive to refineries.
The one disadvantage with the process is that it may be unsuitable for
application to the FCC catalyst regenerator due to possible high sulfur
trioxide levels in the gas leaving the catalyst regenerator. Operating prob-
lems can be anticipated for processes based on the sodium sulfite/bisulfite
system in this service. The main concern is a high rate of sulf ate formation
which would require a large system purge. This problem is diminished when
a co-boiler is added to the system. This is due to a shift in the SCK/SO.
equilibrium concentrations at temperatures existing in the combustion zone.
The SO- levels leaving the co-boiler are not much greater than those
encountered in typical flue gases from fossil fuel combustion sources. .Con-
sequently, the W-L process, with prescrubbers for particulate control, could
(12)
be applied to the FCC.
The MagOx process is an example of an emerging technology which appears
environmentally and economically attractive. In the off-line evaluation, the
overall economics were most attractive. However, these figures have more
L-105
-------
uncertainty than some of the other processes since the process has not operated
continuously for any appreciable length of time. Hence, operating require-
ments are not as well defined. One of the major attractions of the process
is that magnesium sulfate can be regenerated to recover the active magnesium.
Hence, sulfate formation in the system is not a major concern. In addition,
secondary emissions from the process are minimal. This process should evolve
into a desirable candidate for flue gas desulfurization.
After completing this detailed assessment of FGD processes, it was
learned that Exxon Research and Engineering has successfully applied caustic
(NaOH) scrubbing technology to FCC regenerators for controlling particulate
and SOX emissions. The process flow schematic for this system shown in
Figure L-18 is a standard, once-through arrangement frequently used with non-
regenerable systems. A Jet Scrubber is employed to affect vapor-liquid con-
tact and provide pumping capacity thereby eliminating the need for a fan.
The scrubbing solution is the motivating fluid for the Jet Scrubber. A bleed
stream is withdrawn from the circulating loop and delivered to a clarifier
for removal of particulates. Solids and sulfur in the form of sodium sulfate

are purged from the system in the thickened underflow. The clarified liquids
with fresh caustic are returned to the scrubber.
Capital and operating requirements for the Exxon system are summarized
in Table L-16 • The economics of this process were not available in time for

£. ' CONTROL OF SULFUR PLANT EMISSIONS
1. ALTERNATIVES
The Claus sulfur plant tail gas from a typical three-stage converter
(22)
contains between 7,000-12,000 ppmv of sulfur compounds. ' Control of this
source is necessary to achieve the required overall reduction in refinery
emissions. In this study, two alternate routes were considered for treatment
first
of the Claus plant tail gas. The/scheme, shown in Figure L-19,utilizes the same
stack gas desulfurization technology ascribed to the other process units within
; /
the refinery. This approach involves the installation of a scrubber on the stack
of the Claus plant incinerator. The spent absorbent is sent to the central SO-
recovery system required for the other flue gas scrubbing units. The recovered
sulfur value is recycled to the Claus plant along with the S02 removed from other
sources. Scheme 2 assumes the installation of one of the available add-on [recesses
such as the Beavon/Stretford or Pritchard Cleanair to the Claus unit to treat the

2. ECONOMICS
The capital investment associated with Scheme I includes the cost of a
scrubber system and incremental costs on the regeneration system and an incremental
cost on the new sulfur plant to handle the recycle. The capital investment required
for Scheme 2 is primarily the cost of the Claus add-on plant.
The economics of these two routes are summarized below:

Flue Gas Treatment Claus Add-On Process
Capital Investment, $M . 2000 2100
Annual Operating Costs, $M 1180 650
The flue gas treatment costs for Scheme 1 are based on the figures developed
in this report for the Wellman Lord process. The economics of the add-on process
are based on available information in the published literature.
Based on this generalized evaluation, it appears that the Claus add-on process
route has the more favorable economics. Consequently, we selected Scheme 2 for our
sulfur control assessment study.

3. GLAUS TAIL-GAS-CLEANUP PROCESSES
A number of add-on processes are commercially available for treatment
of Glaus tail-gas. Some of the more advanced technologies include the fol-
lowing:
Process Supplier
Beavon/Stretford Ralph M. Parsons
CleanAir Pritchard Co.
Sulfreen IFP
SCOT Shell
Of these, the Sulfreen process has the lowest sulfur removal capability, which
is about 80-85%. The other processes all guarantee sulfur emissions less than
250 ppmv, or an overall recovery of better than 99.9 percent for the combi-
nation Claus plant/Tail-gas Cleanup System.
In our refinery SOX control evaluation, we use the economics associated
with the Beavon/Stretford process as typical of the cost for reducing sulfur
emissions from Claus plants. The operating requirements for this process are
shown in Table L-17.

E. INTEGRATION OF SO REMOVAL PROCESSES
This section describes in a general way how the selected process might
be integrated into a typical refinery complex.
l- DAVY POWERGAS PROCESS
A conceputal refinery SO control system based on the Davy Powergas
> i
process is presented in Figure L-20. Basically, individual flue gas scrubbers
i
are installed on the various refinery units including the FCC, and the spent
adsorbent from each scrubber is sent to a central regeneration S02/recovery
system with the regenerated adsorbent returning to the scrubbers. The re-
covered SO- stream containing about 95% SO- is sent to a Claus sulfur plant.
The concentrated sulfur dioxide from the central regeneration recovery
system is combined with the sour gas from the amine unit to form the feed
for the sulfur plant. A new sulfur plant is also required since the capacity
of the existing unit is likely to be insufficient to handle all of the SO2
recovered from the stationary sources. The combined tail-gas from both sul-
fur plants is subjected to a tail gas cleanup step, employing add-on process
technology as discussed in Section D.

2. PROCESS REQUIREMENTS
The capital investment/capacity relationships associated with refinery
flue gas desulfurization are shown in Table L-18 for the process programmed
into the refinery model. The investment costs are consistent with the first
quarter 1975 basis used in the model. The investment cost equation for the
regeneration/recovery section does not include the cost of the additional
Glaus unit. This was excluded since sulfur plant economics are handled
separately in the refinery LP model.
Process operating requirements for the F6D processes are presented in
Table L-19. The operating requirements are presented in terms of consumption
per unit of treatment volume or weight of sulfur produced.
In applying flue gas scrubbing in a cost effective manner, scrubber
sizing must be considered. For sources with a treatment volume of less than
30 Mscfm, it is more economical to combine the flue gas with that of a nearby
source and take a (vantage of economies of scal<>. However, for large sources
such as the atmospheric crude heater or the boiler facility, scrubber avail-
ability becomes a major consideration. Consequently, for emission sources in

16. ABSTRACT
The report gives results of an assessment of the impact on the U.S. petro-
leum refining industry of a possible EPA regulation limiting the level of gaseous
refinery sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions. Computer models representing specific refi-
neries in six geographical regions of the U.S. were developed as the basis for deter--
mining the impact on the existing refining industry. New refinery construction during
the period under analysis (1975-1985) was also considered by development of computer
models representing new grassroots refineries. Control of refinery SOx emissions
from both existing and new refineries was defined for the purposes of this study by
maximum sulfur levels on refinery fuel and on fluid catalytic cracking unit feedstock
and by increased sulfur recovery in the Claus plant. The computer models thus
constrained were utilized to assess investment and energy requirements to meet the
possible regulation and the incremental cost to manufacture all refinery products as
a result of the regulation. Parametric studies evaluated the impact of variations in
the types of imported crude oils available for future domestic refining and the projec-
ted sulfur level of residual fuel oil manufactured in the U.S.
