Challenges for the oil-refining industry

Refiners are looking for solutions that will help them to Reduce plant emissions Meet environmental legislation Cut deeper into the barrel Increase their hydrogen supplies. It is vital that they develop cost-effective strategies for Disposing of their crude oil residues Use own feedstocks like petcoke Increasing the yield of lighter, high-value products (low sulphur, low aromatics).
Gasification may be able to help refiners rise to these challenges

What is gasification?

Gasification converts hydrocarbon feedstocks into syngas It involves partial combustion

-
2(CH2) + O2
2CO + 2H2
Syngas is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen Syngas can be

Converted into products such as ammonia, methanol, oxo-chemicals, synthetic hydrocarbons or hydrogen - Used as a fuel
Shell gasification feedstocks

The feed to the gasifier can be Solid Shell Coal Gasification Process (SCGP) including coal, lignite and petroleum coke Liquid Shell Gasification Process (SGP) including oil distillates, residues and natural gas
Converting a wide range of feedstocks into hydrogen and power

SGP residue gasification

Lower availability compared to Partial Oxidation using NG SGP co-annular burner for viscous feed with high ash Stable operating condition key for reliability ( minimal external disruptions like blackout, off take, O2, steam) SGP: fully automated start up, normal ops, shut down SGP: unique SARU design, does not affect availability Refractory (& other equipment) maintenance cycle matches well with refinery shutdown

SCGP key details

Versatile process converts coal and coke into syngas Syngas can be used for
Chemical manufacturing - Hydrogen production - Production of synthetic hydrocarbons - Power generation
-
Features
Low oxygen consumption - High efficiency, reliability and availability - Meets environmental legislation
-
Strong environmental credentials

Case study: Buggenum power plant

SCGP produces fuel for commercial power plant Features

-
High efficiency High availability Robust technology Feedback loop improves SCGP design 20% biomass co-feed
Successful operations prove the SCGPIGCC combination

SCGP Water Quench A change for the better

Allow gasification of coals, which cannot be processed with a syngas cooler due to fouling
- high sodium/chlorine content
Reduce CAPEX
- no Syngas cooler - no candle filter - simpler shift line-up
Improve integration with a downstream shift for chemical applications

- water is added directly to the syngas, not via a saturator cycle in the shift section
but stick to key advantages of SCGP

Membrane wall, heat protection of the gasifier via water cooling and steam production Separate gas outlet & slag outlet for processing high ash coals Multiple burners allowing large capacities and an efficient slag removal with only a small amount of fines Proven scale-up rules for gasifier Dry flyash removal (as much as possible), limiting the amount of black/grey wastewater/slurry

General IGCC SGC vs WQ

Disadvantages Water Quench (WQ) for IGCC applications IGCC efficiency 2-4%-points less with WQ SCGP and no Carbon Capture System More Low Temperature syngas cooling (multiple KT-reboilers) More water handling (with absence Dry Flyash Removal)

Conclusions
SGP and SCGP can help refiners to

-
Produce steam, hydrogen and power Meet stringent product specifications Increase feedstock flexibility
Flexibility of integration into refineries has been demonstrated Potentially highly profitable investments
Strong track record and proven technology
