5. PGC5009 Fast Process GC The Value Proposition The Refinery Challenge
A relatively small shift in the cut point for any refinery product can cost refiners millions in profits. In the absence of fast, accurate and reproducible boiling point data, refinery product yields are not optimized and more importantly, significant profits are lost.
The ABB Solution
With a patented resistively heated column design and rapid cooling system, the PGC5009 provides superior chromatography for simulated distillation in less than 5 minutes.
The results are proven: accurate and reproducible retention times and weight percentage measurements required for boiling point curve calculation enable optimized refinery process control and minimize lost profits.
The Elevator Message
A three week payback via tight refinery product cut point control and catalyst life extension and millions captured annually in profits.

11. Key Product Attributes
PGC5009 Fast Process GC
Key Product Attributes
Patented Resistively Heated Column
By using the stainless steel column’s own material resistivity property and an electric potential applied directly to the column, the column effectively becomes a heater enabling a fast heat up time.
Rapid Column Cooling System
After column heat up, a Vortex cooler device flows 15 SCFM of cold air over the column rapidly cooling it back to the starting temperature. Coupled with the heated column, analysis cycle times of 4-5 minutes for simulated distillation are achieved.
Highly Precise Temperature and Pressure Control
Digital column temperature and carrier pressure control enable 0.5 oC IBP and 1.0 oC FBP repeatability/reproducibility thereby providing superior process control and no need for peak alignment to compensate for design weaknesses and measurement variability.

12. Financial Case Study 1 – Savings of 1.6 MUSD Annually
PGC5009 Fast Process GC
Financial Case Study 1 – Savings of 1.6 MUSD Annually
Refinery processes 100,000 crude barrels per day
Approximately 30% output diesel or 11 million barrels per year
Using the PGC5009 Fast GC
ULSD Product Uplift
Increase by 1% (and decrease yield of lower value heating oil products)
- Additional 110,000 barrels every year of product uplift from No.2 heating oil to ULSD
Assuming $0.13/gallon ULSD = $5.46/barrel equates to product uplift of 500 kUSD per year
Catalyst Life Extension
Removal of dibenzothiophene and other sulfurs iincreases catalyst life by 3 months
Reducing TA frequency by 20% saves approximately 1.1 MUSD per year for a 30 KBD diesel hydrotreater

13. Financial Case Study 2 – Gasoline
PGC5009 Fast Process GC
Financial Case Study 2 – Gasoline
Refinery Gasoline Blend Volume of 4,200,000 Gallons per Day
Current blend comprised of 40% FCC Naphtha (HFCCN), 25% Straight Run Naphtha (HSRN), 15% Alkylate, 18% Reformate and 2% Butane
The PGC5009 is used to control the boiling range of these gasoline blending components such that the more expensive components, Alkylate and Reformate, are reduced and the less expensive components, FCC Naphtha (HFCCN) and Straight Run Naphtha (HSRN) are increased thereby reducing the overall manufacturing cost of the gasoline blend
By reducing the Alkylate and Reformate in the blend by 0.5% and 0.3%, respectively, and increasing the FCC Naphtha and Straight Run Naphtha by 0.25% and 0.10%, respectively, the overall manufacturing cost of the gasoline blend is reduced from $ per gallon to $ per gallon
The profit captured in this strategy amounts to $3,405 per day meaning the PGC5009 pays for itself in 28 days; annualized profit $1,242,910.
