New Operative Challenges for the Oil Refining Industry in Mexico
Abstract
It has been estimated that the annual rate of toxic gas emissions from the energy sector, including oil refining industry, are of 33%, therefore, it is important to implement strategies for mitigating Greenhouse Effect Gas Emissions and, at the same time, fulfill the energy demand. Current regulations, such as NOM-016-CRE-2016 about the quality of oil fuels, have compelled the energy sector to take into consideration technological alternatives, in order to improve products quality. Processes, such as hydrodesulfurization and naphtha reforming allow elimination of sulfur compounds as well as increase of the octane number in fuels, improving their quality. There are several challenges that the refining industry has to face, being the sustainable operativity one of the most important, due to its relationship with the implementation of strategies and industrial symbiosis methodologies that allow identification of interactions between processes and industries for a better utilization of resources, bringing up mutual benefits.
