Cogeneration in Refineries [ Return towards Applications ]
Cogeneration of power and steam can help refiners meet new environmental mandates for NOx and SOx limits. Refineries may be operating with old fuel oils based boilers requiring extensive maintenance and monitoring. Cogeneration units can provide a certain amount of independence from electricity grid pricing, if properly designed and managed. Cogeneration is superior to stand alone boiler systems and steam turbine electricity generation due to increased efficiencies, resulting in less emissions and carbon dioxide releases to the atmosphere.
Cogeneration in Refineries
AIR LIQUIDE owns and operates over 1400 MW of cogeneration produced power. We offer expertise in the development, integration, design, implementation and operation of a cogeneration system. We can also provide in-house engineering and construction management as well as internal funding or project financing.
AIR LIQUIDE can help the refiner re-evaluate and operate their utility systems. We are focused on improving the reliability of the refiner’s utilities in the following sectors:
De-mineralized water
Process water
Industrial gases
Industrial water treatment
