1 How Refineries meet the new EPA Benzene Regulations Presented by: Dave Nispel and Dominic Varraveto 1
2 Introductions Presenter #1 Dave Nispel, PE, is the refining business development manager for Burns & McDonnell. His experience includes benzene reduction, ultra-low-sulfur diesel and engineer-procure-construct projects. He has a bachelor s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Nebraska and has been at Burns & McDonnell for more than 15 years with a majority of that time spent in the refining industry. 2
3 Introductions Presenter #2 Dominic Varraveto, PE, is the refinery process manager for Burns & McDonnell. He has 25 years of experience in the refinery and petrochemical industry, including process development, design, operation and optimization of major process units. He has a master s degree in engineering management from the University of Kansas and a bachelor s in chemical engineering from the University of Notre Dame. 3

41 Things to Consider OSBL Hydrogen Utilities ETC. 41
42 Initial Observation MSAT-2 represents the next wave of environmentally driven refinery projects Different technology combinations are available to meet MSAT-2 Fractionation, Saturation, Isomerization, Extraction One solution would prevail Rule flexibility provides opportunity for B&McD to help refinery organization with optimized solutions 42
43 Current Outlook It is difficult or impossible to reduce gasoline benzene to 0.62 vol% with pre-fractionation. Gasoline benzene reduction by saturation requires hydrogen, reduces gasoline octane and does not have an investment payback. Post fractionation is an energy intensive and, for most refineries, a necessary process step to reduce gasoline benzene to required level. Extraction is expensive but produces high purity benzene that generates incremental revenue and cash flow to payback investment. 43
