Abstract

Background: The integration of various factors affecting processes in oil refining is crucial for enhancing both the efficiency and sustainability of the industry. In a changing market and increasingly stringent environmental regulations, it is essential to continuously update approaches, develop innovative solutions, and optimize production processes to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Aim: The study aims to integrate thermodynamic, kinetic and hydrodynamic aspects into a unified model, and to validate the outcome based on experimental data and real-world operating conditions to ensure the accuracy and reliability of model predictions.

Materials and methods: The primary research methods include statistical data analysis, process modeling, and experimental studies at various stages of the production cycle.

Results: The study identified the key parameters that significantly impact the quality of the final product and production efficiency. Furthermore, it offers recommendations for optimizing production processes based on the data obtained.

Conclusion: The study concludes that integrating various factors can significantly enhance production performance and reduce refining costs. The study emphasizes the importance of an integrated approach to the management of production processes in the oil refining industry, which can facilitate the further development of the industry. The model created can be utilized for training personnel in process simulation. With its user-friendly interface, it requires no extensive programming knowledge, making it well-suited for the initial training of specialists.
