    Subject Name: Petroleum Refinery Engineering (CH62009)

    Assignment – 1 Due date: 13/08/2019

    Q1.

    For a West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude, the API is 36.3o. The following data was
    obtained from a TBP test.

    Vol% 5 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 85

    T (oF) 62 144 255 344 437 531 623 717 819 897

    Based on the above data, do the following exercises,

    a) Estimate the characterization factor (Watson and UOP) of the crude.

    b) Complete the Table for the following fractions (cuts) with their boiling range as
    given.
    IBP-200, 200-300, 300-400 likewise upto 900 oF with an increment in temperature by
    100 oF
    The table should contain the following points;
    Boiling range, Vol% cumulative, VABP, slope, correction factor, MABP, API, specific
    gravity, Mol wt.

    c) Plot API vs mid volume, Molecular weight vs mid volume for the above cuts.

    Q2.

    10,000 bbl/h of a Brent Crude (whose TBP and API vs mid-volume percent curve is pasted
    below, API of the crude is 31.6o) is to be fractionated in a distillation tower into Heavy
    Naphtha (HN), Kerosene, Gas oil and Long Residue. The product specifications are as
    follows:

    Product TBP end point, oF TBP (T100L – T0H), oF

    HN 400
    80
    Kerosene 520
    40
    Gas Oil 700
    The TBP gap between gas oil and overflash can be assumed to be 40 oF. Overflash can be
    assumed to be 2.0 vol% of feed. Steam stripping of all side streams and tower bottoms is
    specified at 10 lb/bbl of net stripped liquid.

    a) Determine the volumetric and mass flow rates of all product streams.
    b) Estimate and plot the TBP, ASTM and atmospheric EFV curves of the kerosene
    product
    c) Determine the weight percent of feed that should be in the vapourized state at the
    tower inlet so that the above products can be obtained.
