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

Dinesh Brahma

• 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 ....... ???

Let’s see that beautiful idea and the new innovative scheme with beautiful illustrations of the scheme which would be the first of its kind in our NRL ..........
