An Innovative & New Concept of a New Co-Generation Plant in a Refinery (A Proposed Idea – A Beautiful Case Study) (Co-Existence Of Gtg Brayton Cycle + Stg Steam Rankine Cycle + Organic Rankine Cycle) (Would Be 1st Time in Our Nrl Refinery)

Abstract

• This 1st paper highlights the case study of Power & Steam generation in an innovative way from the available energy sources in a Refinery taking an example of the Existing & Upcoming Post expansion of our NRL. • It illustrates the beautiful concept & idea of the “Co-existence of the GTG Brayton Cycle + STG Steam Rankine Cycle + Organic Rankine Cycle” (1st of it’s kind of a case study in Our NRL Refinery) • Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) was established as a Company on 22nd April 1993. • It’s present capacity is 3 MMTPA. • NRL intends to expand its refining capacity to additional 6 MMTPA due to: • Projected demand growth of petroleum products in the country • Retain its profitability and competitiveness in the long run • This mega project would also increase the power & steam demands to manifolds • In view of this, an innovative idea and novel concept was devised to generate power & steam from the available sources of the existing & the upcoming new units in • the post NRL expansion scenario. • Now, the problem is …. how it would be possible ……. ??? • How the above scheme would be accomplished ……. ???
