Increasing the Energy Efficiency of Heating and Cooling Systems for the Tank Farms of Oil and Gas Enterprises

Resumo

Approaches for improving the efficiency of heating and cooling systems in order to maintain the temperature conditions of tank farms used for storage of hydrocarbons at oil and gas enterprises, including recycling of drainage from the combined generation of thermal and electrical energy, cold, and water, are considered. A design of a combined system of thermal and electrical supply, and supply of cold air and water with recycling of wastes and drainage for the tank farm of an oil and gas refining enterprise, the stock of equipment at the enterprise, and the results of cost-benefit estimation of the efficiency of the system are presented.
