Title
An optimization based strategy for crude selection in a refinery with lube hydro-processing.
Abstract
•Crude oil is classified into five types based on the viscosity index (VI) of VGO.•Prediction models for the yield and VI in lube hydro-processing are developed.•The lube processing model is incorporated in the overall refinery optimization.•Case studies with several price scenarios and sensitivity analysis are conducted.•Benefits of the model-based optimization method in lube refinery are illustrated.
