Diseño de sistema de gestión energética para una estación de almacenamiento y transferencia de crudos pesados en Ecuador

Abstract

This document shows the Design of an Energy Management System (EnMS) in the Heavy Crude Oil Storage and Pumping Station PS-1, with the aim of improving energy performance and reducing environmental impact and greenhouse gases (GHG). This study was focused on the requirements established in the ISO 50001 Standard, where the necessary procedures were implemented for the implementation and integration of this regulation with the quality and environmental management systems in the organization. An energy review was carried out in the processes associated with the storage and transportation of heavy crude oil, in which the participation of energy sources in the different processes was determined, establishing that Fuel Crude, Generation Crude Oil and Diesel intervene in the processes, for which an equivalent energy consumption was established and related to the storage and transportation of crude oil, therefore the Base Line (LBEn) was defined, which gives us 16% potential savings as a Goal, This allowed us to establish the Energy Consumption Indices (IDEn ) as BCE / BTC, as significant uses (USEn) could also be identified and opportunities for improvement in fuel consumption of the main pumps and vertical heating furnaces were examined, with a potential saving of 6% in the first quarter of the year. 2020, regarding the energy consumption identified in the Energy Base Line (LBEn), of the last three previous years. These improvement opportunities were evaluated and estimated based on their technical, economic, environmental, social impact and system reliability
