Planificación energética de un proceso productivo para una petroquímica de hidrocarburos aromáticos, según la norma ISO 50001: Caso de estudio

Abstract

The work intends to carry out the energy planning of the production process in a petrochemical plant, using the ISO 50001 standard. For this purpose we analyze antecedents of similar experiences in other industrial facilities in general and in petrochemical plants in particular. The work presents strategies that can contribute to the improvement of energy management and even evaluates one of these options economically, finding that it is feasible to improve the current rates of energy consumption thanks to the methodology indicated by that standard and with only the option evaluated. The work is organized in seven chapters; in the first one the problem of study, including the formulation of the objectives, is delimited. The second chapter contains the frame of reference that underpins the process of analysis, and includes the state of the art, the regulation related to ISO 50001 and its application in petrochemical processes. The third chapter is used to define the baseline of the installation, while chapter four presents the performance indicators, giving continuity to the fifth where the strategies are presented for the improvement of energy management and finally chapter six the economic analysis of the investment is made. The conclusions of the work are the object of the seventh chapter
