Abstract :
Energy is essential in all human activities,
including industrial development, commerce,
telecommunication, engineering, and medicine, to name a
few. Currently, petroleum contributes 31.2% of the total
energy consumed globally. The petroleum refinery
converts crude oil into various useful products, including
but not limited to fuel for powering engines and
machinery. A petroleum refinery's complexity is
determined by several factors, including the targeted
product(s), crude quality, integration with the
petrochemical unit, economics, environmental
management issues, feed availability, product market,
and others. Considering those mentioned earlier, the
choice of products or targeted products has the most
significant influence on refineries' complexity.
