The synthesis of hydrogen distribution networks has been an active area of research over
the last two decades. The concept of hydrogen management based on an economic cost …

Hydrogen has been identified as the best raw material for hydro-treating conventional fuels
such as gasoline, kerosene and diesel in oil refineries. Hydrogen is actually created and is …

Hydrogen is an important utility in the production of clean fuels such as low-sulfur gasoline
and diesel. The shortage of hydrogen resource motivates the integrated management of …

Increase in refining demand and tighter environmental regulations have led to sharp
increases in hydrogen consumption of oil refineries. Hydrogen conservation and effective …

Hydrogen management is a problem of increasing importance: hydrogen consumption of
refineries is rising sharply with additional capacities of hydrocracking and hydrotreating units …

The increased requirement of hydrogen in the refinery is fulfilled by proper distribution of
available hydrogen in the refinery, using additional hydrogen production system and by …

Due to the trend in tighter environmental regulations on heavier crude oil processing,
hydrogen has become an important strategic resource in modern refineries. Refiners have to …

The design of refinery hydrogen networks minimizing the total annualized cost is a
computationally hard optimization problem. This is mainly due to the highly nonlinear …

Process integration is an effective way to reduce hydrogen utility consumption in refineries.
A number of graphical and mathematical programming approaches have been proposed to …

Hydrogen is widely used in modern oil refineries to remove the sulfur, nitrogen and aromatic
contents of fuels. The existence of such contents would aggravate the greenhouse gas …
