Critical issues:

• Integrated analysis of the Schwechat refinery including over 20 process units
• The model of the refinery has been used in the past few years to identify the impact of proposed revamps and to optimise the configuration of the revamped units

Solution:

• The study predicted the average production efficiency and the produced annual volumes for the principal products for each one of the considered options

Value delivered:

• The results of the study were used to evaluate and justify cost cutting opportunities in the planned revamp of several process units
• A specific analysis on the FCC unit was also carried out to help OMV in renegotiating its insurance premium
