Upgradation of small topping refinery

Business case:
 Estimation for fixed bed continuous reformer for upgradation of heavier naphtha into
gasoline and separating benzene, toluene and xylene for striving toward Western refining
standards to compete.

 The upgradation should be done without losses in fuels revenues.

Project Objective:
 To design and estimate for upgradation in small topping refinery for converting naphtha
into gasoline and separation of benzene, toluene and xylene for producing clean fuel.

 Design to be simulated using Aspen according to Final Report Requirement.

Assumptions:
 As the Crude oil in Iraqi Kurdistan has complex composition, therefore, for analysis and
cost estimation the board naphtha composition can be used.

 CAPCOST used to estimate the cost of equipment’s needed for upgradation.
