  • Is modular refinery feasible in Nigeria?
  • Some of the limitations associated with previous studies on modular refinery , studies have been carried out on operational feasibility of modular refinery (Topping plant) operation in Nigeria with no reference to its bottom product (residue) processing or treatment [9, 11, 12,16, .
  • Will modular refineries produce the lightest hydrocarbons in Nigeria?
  • Another critical assumption is that the modular refineries yield will be limited to fuel oils and diesel as the lightest hydrocarbon produced. (approximately 6 million litres daily). The modular refineries bridge a supply gap of 53,000 bpd (approximately 8.5 million litres daily) in Nigeria. 90% utilization. These ramp up to 70%,
  • Are modular crude oil refineries a viable solution to low refining output?
  • The setting up of modular crude oil refineries is a feasible solution to countries experiencing low refining output from their conventional refineries. With the use of HYSYS® ASPEN, this paper examines the simulation of three different schemes of modular topping refinery for five types of Nigeria crude oil.
  • Where is a modular topping plant located in Nigeria?
  • Nigeria also has a 1000 bopd modular topping plant located at Ogbelle field fully owned by the Niger Delta Petroleum Resources. The University of Port-Harcourt also houses a modular topping laboratory where crude distillation experiment under both atmospheric and vacuum condition can be performed.
  • Are modular refinery investors deterred from investing in Nigeria?
  • As a result of these issues, many potential Modular Refinery Investors may be deterred from making investments into the Nigerian market. Damaged pipelines, shallow channels and the absence of an effective logistics backbone are some major infrastructural impediments that have constrained growth of refineries in Nigeria.
  • Why is topping plant bottom product (residue) treatment a problem in Nigeria?
  • Thus, with the operating capacities of all conventional refineries in Nigeria between 15% and 25%, and inadequate provision of pipelines for crude oil and products delivery , the issue of topping plant bottom product (residue) treatment has been of great concern for operators, researchers and professionals in developing countries like Nigeria.
