1.Synopsis
The purpose of this report is to give some information about
scientific and technical topics. The report generally cover
special topic "Control and Instrumentation" which is given for
each student differently. However there are also some
information about chemical processes and devices which are
used on refining of oil, such as distillation, separation,
compression and control systems. Firstly there are given
information about Azerneftyag Oil Refinery where these all
information base on the visit to there.
2.Introduction
Azerneftyag Oil Refinery carries out its activity over the 130
years. In the end of the XIX century, in the Russian empire this
refinery was called as "oil king". In 1981, name of the refinery
was changed to "Azerneftyag", and in 1994 on the basis of
plant was founded "Azerneftyag" JV. Since March 2003 the
enterprise is operating as Baku oil refinery plant "Azerneftyag".
The plan of restoration of oil processing and production sector
in Azerbaijan was approved by Heydar Aliyev in 1970s.
Azerneftyag oil refinery is owned and operated by State Oil
Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR and other products
are included to The products which The Azerneftyag Oil
Refinerys produce are lubricants, kerosene, naphtha, heating
fuel. In the refinery NOAVT 2305 called devise is located. The
amount of water, salt and gases from the oil is decreased via
this device. The device has other functions too such as
separating some gases from the oil, such as CO, H 2S, N, etc.
Some of these gasses are used for some purposes as heating
on the other operations and the other part of the gases is
burned.
Construction of important devices called ELOU-AVT-6 and
ELOU-AVT-2 caused increasing of oil products that follow
international standard and creating more eco-friendly system.
Product
Bitumen
Diesel distillates
Industrial oil
Other oils
Gasoline
Transformer oil
Turbine oil
Kerosene
Separator
They are used for separating the oil from the water, and
then oil is retained safely until it is removed. They are installed
for containing oil leaks from vehicles and plant and accidental
spillages. Oil separators need to be correctly designed,
installed and maintained for being more effective. However
there is not any separator in Azerneftyag.
3.3. Compressor
Compressors are used to increase the pressure of a fluid.
There is no big difference between compressors in Azerneftyag
and Baku Oil Refinery. There are two main compressors-
Control room
5. Conclusion
During the two semesters we visited two different Oil
Refineries, now we can say some differences and similarities
between them. Similar thing between them is that for both old
technologies are used and distillation column, control system
and compressor are almost same in both refineries. Now we
can say some main differences such as existing of separator,
creaking and reforming in the Baku Oil Refinery, and
Azerneftyag produce 2 million tone oil, but this number for
Baku oil refinery 6 million tones. Finally it is mentioned that
both Baku Oil Refinery and Azerneftyag play crucial role in oil
sector of Azerbaijan.
