Value Proposition

There are many unique ways to use the Refinery Calculator to help you meet your needs

Bring us your problem and allow the Refinery Calculator to be apart of helping you generate a solution for your clients. If you desire, please contact our support group to have a support specialist reach back out to you to determine how we can help you solve your unique problem. Some of the creative uses of the Refinery Calculator:

Analyzing European Refineries and the impact of them switching from steam methane reforming-based hydrogen to “green” hydrogen
Calculating the estimated carbon dioxide emissions from all California refineries
Determining the quantity of water consumed from all US based refineries to help water treatment chemical suppliers formulate a forecast
Determining the economic and capital cost impact of refineries performing debottleneck projects and unit expansions
Evaluating at risk refineries due to economic conditions
Figuring out which set of crude slates are best suited operationally for a refinery
Evaluating the economic “switching costs” from “brown” hydrogen sources to “Green” hydrogen or renewable hydrogen sources

Refinery calc can quantify over the fence requirements for green hydrogen
The impact of reduced CO2 using renewable hydrogen for refineries
Predicting hydrogen consumption for global refineries
Quantifying global hydrogen demand based on crude selections and other pricing information

Process Refining

Input several process changes such as unit expansions or shutdowns and let the Refinery Calculator determine the net energy impact and economic impact within seconds.

Benchmarking

Compare your refineries amongst other competitive refineries. Determine your competitive advantage against your competition.

Strategic Planning

Perform capital budget analysis by using the Refinery Calculator to determine unit expansion economics.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Use the Refinery Calculator as a tool to assist in your M&A analysis.

Competitive Analysis (Internal / External)

Sort and rank your refineries against competitive refineries by margin, product yields, energy usage, carbon emissions, water usage, hydrogen usage, and other factors.

Economics & Optimization

Quickly determine the optimized crude slate for your refinery and the ‘choke’ points or constraints that are limiting your refinery using the Refinery Calculator.

Marketing & Trading

Determine which spot crudes can be processed and determine the incremental impact to the particular refinery.

Crude Oil Economics

Determine the optimal economic crude slates for each refinery.

Downstream Integration Analysis

Use the Refinery Calculator to determine how best to integrate various downstream units and understand their overall contribution to the refinery’s net margin.
