Distribution/loading facility designed for a total of six arms: two each for gasoline, kerosene and diesel (or 33.33% for each product) whereas gasoline storage capacity is 55%, diesel, 33%, kerosene 11%, and slops, 1% of the total depot capacity. The design supply to distribution chain capacity ratio showed a mismatch, which in actual operation becomes 2:1. The above design created ullage problem at sustained supplies, gross under utilization of supply chain infrastructures and poor operational performance. After a technical evaluation, a section of the depot storage to loading pipeline network was re-designed and modified to enable products supply capacity to match loading and minimize storage. Hence, the gasoline loading became 66.67%, kerosene and diesel, each of 16.67%, increasing the actual supply to distribution chain capacity ratio from 2:1 to 2:2 (and when required, can be maximized to 2:3) thereby correcting the apparent mismatch between the supply and distribution chain capacities. The modification has enabled the refiner to increase depot and upstream supply chain utilization展开更多
