Abstract:
A crude oil refinery pre-heat train (PHT) includes a crude oil stream pipeline system that extends through the PHT and is configured to carry a stream of crude oil from an inlet of the PHT to a furnace of the PHT; heat exchangers positioned in the crude oil stream pipeline system; and a control system. The heat exchangers include a first set of heat exchangers positioned in the crude oil stream pipeline system between the inlet of the PHT and one or more de-salters of the PHT; a second set of heat exchangers positioned in the crude oil stream pipeline system between the one or more de-salters of the PHT and one or more pre-flash drums of the PHT; and a third set of heat exchangers positioned between the one or more pre-flash drums of the PHT and the furnace of the PHT.
