Gulf Refinery — Fuel Combustion Optimization
Combustion catalyst deployment reduced fuel consumption by 8% and SO₂ emissions by 15%.
Challenge
A large refinery in Saudi Arabia was facing rising fuel costs and pressure to reduce stack emissions to meet new environmental regulations without major capital investment in flue gas treatment.
Solution
CHIMI ART recommended a combustion catalyst additive for the refinery's furnaces and boilers. The additive was injected directly into the fuel supply at a controlled rate of 1:4000.
Results
- 8% reduction in fuel consumption
- 15% decrease in SO₂ emissions
- Payback period of 4 months (fuel savings vs. additive cost)
