Steam boilers are one of the most fundamental systems of a oil refinery and use of water in a oil refinery is makeup for boiler feed. The chief uses of steam are for stripping, steam distillation, and vacuum distillation. The steam comes in contact with the products in these operations, and generally the steam condensate is so highly contaminated that it cannot be reused for boiler feed or for other purposes.

What Function Do Steam Boilers Serve in Oil Refinery ?

Steam boiler is a closed vessel to convert the water inside into steam. In order for this to happen chemical energy from a fuel source such as oil or gas is converted into heat by combustion. The heat is then transferred to the contained water, thereby increasing the pressure and eventually converting the liquid form into steam. In oil refinery, steam boiler will serve one of the following functions:

Fuel–Often the steam will be used to power turbines for electric generating equipment, blowers, and pumps.
Production–The steam may also play a role in the actual production of the product by sterilization, or to achieve the processing temperatures needed for an aspect of production.
Climate–The steam may also be used to power the plant’s heating and air conditioning units. This might be done for personal worker comfort, to keep equipment at proper operating temperatures, or both.
