Abstract

Different refinery configurations are investigated for upgrading projects to increase gasoline production for local market demand. Libya is an important contributor to the global supply of light and sweet crude. It has five domestic refineries, all of them are simple hydro-skimming units. This work presents a theoretical approach for upgrading atmospheric and vacuum residue derived from the heaviest Libyan crude oil. Obtained results show that option 3, which included delayed coking, was optimal in terms of maximum gasoline production.
