How We Make it happen

Product Quality Giveaway Reduction
- Review gasoline and distillate blending processes to identify gaps leading to quality giveaway.
- Implement statistical approaches and system tools to reduce quality giveaway in blend recipes.
- Design and roll out training programs for blend operators and lab technicians to share best practices in blend execution process.
- Design and implement blend execution tools to assist blend operators in meeting blend targets.
- Implement blend analyzer instrument excellence programs to reduce variability in blend control and certification results.
- Install management operating systems at various levels (blend prediction, blend execution, weekly results) to drive continuous improvement.

Value Chain Optimization and LP Health Improvement
- Adjust Linear Programming models customized to refining operation such as feedstock selection, product mix optimization, and operational constraints.
- Conduct comprehensive assessments of existing LP models to identify areas for improvement, such as model accuracy and convergence speed.
- Utilize LP models to perform sensitivity analysis to guide operational direction in response to changes in market conditions and operational events.
- Use unconstrained LP analysis to guide new business development directions, optimizing resource allocation and strategic decision-making during the Long Range Planning process.
- Implement a Unit Mass Balance program and achieved unit-level mass balance within 2% by automating density reconciliation, improving preventive maintenance around measurement meters, and installing a continuous monitoring program.

- Energy Efficiency Improvement
- Identify key areas of energy waste and quantify improvement opportunities.
- Develop a comprehensive energy savings program and roll out energy saving training for company personnel.
- Create a comprehensive motor management plan to address motor energy performance.
- Design / optimize preventative maintenance programs for energy critical equipment (motors, pumps, compressors, etc.).
- Implement a comprehensive management operating system to track energy efficiency and identify areas of continuous improvement.

Hydrocarbon Loss Control and Measurement Assurance
- Improve process and management system to prevent significant gain/loss percentages.
- Revise measurement procedures to align with best practices and guidelines (API, ASTM).
- Establish / Redesign escalation and claims procedures.
- Reconcile of out-of-tolerance measurements and settlement.
