Driving optimization and profitability through technology innovation

摘要

The refining industry continues to face a difficult and dynamic landscape in its efforts toward optimization and profitability. The challenges include feedstock availability and quality, resource limitations, capital spending constraints, environmental regulations, engine requirements, and energy security. While the demand for transportation fuels is increasing, refiners are challenged to meet tighter fuel specifications while processing more difficult feedstocks. In this evolving environment, refiners must not only keep up with changing market demand patterns, but must also drive down costs, grow margins and improve product properties to enhance profitability.
