How We Make it happen
Product Quality Giveaway Reduction
- Review gasoline and distillate blending 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.

Value Chain Optimization and LP Health Improvement
- Adjust LP model accuracy to match refinery operations, feedstock selection, product mix and operational constraints.
- 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.

- Energy Efficiency Improvement
- Understand utility use to reduce excess electricity and natural gas consumption.
- Identify inefficiencies and improvement opportunities in steam networks.
- Investigate fuel sources and evaluate the benefits of purchasing versus producing energy streams.
- Use automation and dashboard design to enhance organizational behavior and continuous improvement.
- Survey site-wide hydrogen consumption, implement processes to optimize H₂ management.
- Ensure existing unit throughput is maintained with reduced energy consumption.
- Reduce CO2e emissions with a 2-point improvement in EII.

Hydrocarbon Loss Control and Measurement Assurance
- Identify opportunities to enhance daily and in-month yield accounting and reconciliation, allowing for effective changes to operations, commercial decisions, reforecasting month end position, and understanding actual variance to plan.
- Improve overall mass balance by up to 60%.
- Ensure all custody meters are calibrated and read using industry best practice such as API and EN to provide accurate volume readings.
- Certify Sediment & Water analysis from inhouse and 3rd party labs to provide accurate crude receipts.
- Assess the refinery material balance process to assure the accuracy and physical visibility of crudes, feedstocks, and finished products.
