DATA RECONCILIATION EFFICIENCY FOR REFINERY MATERIAL BALANCE

Kuvykin Viacheslav, Balashov Roman, Ibulaev Robert, Meleshkevich Mikhail

The article deals with a problem of refinery material balance data reconciliation. A new methodology has been developed to estimate automated data reconciliation system implementation efficiency. We propose to use simulation modeling in the analysis of material balance reconciliation. In the article were presented the results of calculating the efficiency by two different material balance reconciliation methods for the crude oil distillation unit.
