Abstract
The study was initiated to conduct an in-depth systematic search from available crude oils to match existing design and test run conditions of four refineries.Three of the refineries studied are designed to process only naphthenic crudes while the other one, paraffinic crudes. Stage-wise technical evaluation and simulation of the refineries using ASPEN HYSYS enabled the selection of crude oils other than designed for these refineries.Paraffinicity and naphthenicity1, as well as other process and products requirements were taken into consideration in the study
