“…Subsequently, they applied this methodology to a crude distillation unit (CDU). The researchers successfully obtained a solution that demonstrated a satisfactory level of accuracy, with a deviation of less than 1 per cent when compared to an established solution for a minimum area target [26]. In his study, Ali Nasir Khalaf analyzed the operational performance of the crude oil distillation column located at Basrah Refinery in Iraq, employing a steady-state simulation approach.…”

The primary function of a crude distillation unit (CDU) within a petroleum refinery is to effectively segregate crude oil into its constituent fractions or products based on their respective boiling points. The Crude Distillation column often serves as the primary processing unit within most refineries, pivotal in producing a wide range of refinery products. This study examines research articles published between 2013 and 2023 that specifically investigate issues related to crude distillation units. The research endeavours to produce innovative designs and construct mathematical models to enhance production efficiency within this context. The research primarily centres on developing a mathematical model that accurately characterizes the distillation tower. This is achieved using either an Artificial Neural Network or a nonlinear model predictive control approach. The primary objective of simulation and optimization research is identifying optimal operating conditions, typically employing software tools such as Aspen HYSYS or PRO II. The corrosion treatment outcomes conducted at the tower's upper section were satisfactory. The study focused on the issue of corrosion in the overhead lines and pumps around exchangers. This design research aims to investigate potential modifications to the distillation tower's design or preflash process to optimize production outcomes.

“…Appropriate software packages will continue to be relevant in process optimization and in the pinch analysis of complex processes due to the mathematical and computing requirements involved. Isah et al, verified the effectiveness of heatintegration HINT by applying it to a case study that investigated the minimum area target, and then applying it to a crude distillation unit (CDU) [3]. A satisfactory solution was reached within 1% when compared to the existing solution to the minimum target area.…”

“…For the synthesis of the heat exchanger network, pinch analysis, and mathematical programming such as linear programming (LP) and mixed integer linear programming (MILP) with a transhipment model were used. In general, the mathematical programming-based techniques proved to be powerful for synthesizing HENs and generating alternative networks [3].…”

Since the last few decades, global energy demand has steadily increased, creating a critical issue, particularly in the industrial sector. Energy conservation is an important issue in process design. Heat exchanger networks (HENs) synthesis have been the most studied in recent decades as its effect on energy recovery between process streams is significantly important. Pinch analysis and mathematical programming have been used for the synthesis of HENs. The proposed approaches can achieve the target of minimum utility consumption and develop networks to obtain a minimum number of heat exchange units. This paper presents a study to compare the performance of the heat exchanger network synthesized via pinch technology and mathematical programming for a crude oil plant. In addition, an application of a ready program like THEN is utilized to solve the problem. Based on the extracted data, the HEN is designed via the above-mentioned techniques, then, the results are analyzed and discussed in detail.
