ORLEN Unipetrol RPA s . r . o . ( Unipetrol ), Prague , Czech Republic is a supplier of petrochemicals and refined products . As |
indicated by the abbreviation RPA — representing refining , petrochemical , and agrochemical activities — Unipetrol supplies a |
wide variety of products , including bitumen , fuel oils , motor fuels , liquefied petroleum products , oil hydrogenates , olefins , aromatics , agrochemicals , carbon black , sorbents , and polyolefins , such as high-density polyethylene and polypropylene . Like many companies in the chemical process industries ( CPI ), Unipetrol has demonstrated an increased focus on environmental stewardship by minimizing the consumption of raw materials and energy . This focus led to the selection of a holistic combustion-control solution , the CombustionONE platform offered by Yokogawa Electric Corp . ( Tokyo ), to address multiple corporate goals , including increased efficiency , reduced emissions , enhanced operational |
stability , and improved operational safety . With Unipetrol , Yokogawa executed a conceptual engineering assessment , which led to a heater assessment study on a furnace . This defined the scope and deliverables for a pilot project and provided a clear understanding of the platform ’ s impact and return on investment ( ROI ). The pilot project ultimately led to a study of the entire olefin plant . After the successful pilot implementation , CombustionONE was deployed at three additional olefin furnaces . The remaining six olefin furnaces and a continuous catalyst regeneration ( CCR ) reformer in the refinery are in the process of implementing the platform in a subsequent phase , which is currently underway at the site . |
