Thank you for your great explaination ... i do have a question if you dont mind , currently Saudi Arabia is moving towards COTC with a much higher conversion rate ( 45 - 50 % per barrel and target towards 70% by 2030 ) due to : 1)growing interest in cleaner burning fuels such as natural gas, hydrogen, and renewables . 2) higher penetration of electric vehicles within the transportation space . what i'm trying to understand now is that there are two emerging termas which are ( intergratde refineries ) & ( mixed crackers ) that i could not relate to the COTC ? is integratde refiners different from refineris ? there was a statement that says " Saudi Aramco is likely to utilize the growing production of natural gas liquids, which, if combined with heavier feed, could drive returns higher for mixed crackers " , my question is how so ?
Hi my friend, thanks for your input, it really means a lot.... Now let me tackle your questions: A) yes, indeed COTC (Crude Oil to Chemicals, essentially focusing into petrochemicals rather than fuels) is a growing trend globally, but more importantly, in Middle East regions, as they want to diversify and of course get that "added value" from their feedstock and raw materials. This is a great opportunity for Chemical, Process, Petroleum and Petrochemical Engineers B) Now, in my opinion, An integrated refinery goes beyond the traditional refining processes. It integrates refining operations with petrochemical processes, allowing for the production of a broader range of products beyond conventional fuels. C) Now, going back to the "mixed cracker": it is also known as a mixed-feed cracker or mixed-feed ethylene cracker, is a type of petrochemical plant that is designed to process a mixture of different feedstocks to produce ethylene and other valuable chemical products. Now having that clear of the way, you can easily relate the new trends (having different feedstock, adjusting to petrochemicals such as ethylene and propylene which later turn into polmers or other building blocks). As stated, Refineries can no longer be so fixed and based in single feedstock, they need to adapt, hence the famous concept of "integrated refinery" I hope I made this clear
@ChemicalEngineeringGuy Many thanks for your clear explanation. very clear. My remaining question is : in order to move from traditionalrefineries to " integrated refineries " would that require a manufacturing changing for the traditional refineries ? or any hardware changes ?
Coke is a byproduct of petroleum refinig: Coke, in the context of refineries and the petroleum industry, refers to a carbonaceous solid material that is a byproduct of the refining process. It is typically produced through a process called "coking." There are two main types of coking processes: delayed coking and fluid coking.
This is a great break down on the petrochemical process but,I must disagree with you about propane not being explosive, because I seen first hand one of the biggest propane explosion to happen in a American city when a 500gal.propane tank exploded, killing 2 people and 5 firemen, destroying a city block and damaged a 16 block radius,it happened here in Buffalo NY December 27,1983, it's on TH-cam, and Wikipedia 🙄
it is my specialty I had my license: in refining and petrochemistry and now in: master Petrochemical engineering .
thank you for the information
great!
Where did u do ur masters in petrochemical engineering am from India btech petrochemical technology
Great presentation - thank you so much for taking the time and explaining in details the differences
Glad it was helpful!
Great video
thanks!
This video is amazing. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Great presentation, how can I get it please?
thanks! you can get it in my website (go to courses , then to oil and gas)

what i'm trying to understand now is that there are two emerging termas which are ( intergratde refineries ) & ( mixed crackers ) that i could not relate to the COTC ?
is integratde refiners different from refineris ?

Fantastic video and really helpful.
Thanks! Im glad!
Thank You for such an informative presentation. I would be thankful if I can receive the presentation materials. Again thank You
You can check them on the course link
thank very useful
Sir please explain about cycle gas compressor
I will eventually!
This course certificate eligible for seeking job in petrochemical industry
Crack and Coker are crazy. 😂
Edit: I thought coke had to do with coal related plants? Is coke something useful? Wikipedia it is.

Indeed, all hydrocarbons are technically speaking explosive, thanks for pointing that out!
